Report on affiliate traffic, earnings, and conversion rates across programs and networks.
Affiliate analytics can come from a network, a partner-management platform or a dedicated ad tracker. Network reporting is strongest when conversions happen inside that network's program structure, while trackers such as RedTrack and Voluum are built to compare traffic, offers and paid acquisition across sources. Attribution method, server-side tracking, reporting dimensions and how much control you have over traffic routing are the main differences.

Partnership attribution
#1 of 5 in Affiliate Analytics
impact.com tracks traffic and conversion paths generated by partners and connects those results to contracts and payout logic. Cross-device tracking and contribution reporting are useful when a company wants to understand more than a single last-click event. The analytics remain tied to managed partner relationships and do not cover arbitrary paid-media traffic.
For server-side ad attribution
#2 of 5 in Affiliate Analytics
RedTrack is a performance-marketing tracker that brings paid-media and affiliate conversion data together. Its server-side conversion capabilities and cross-channel reporting are useful when several ad networks must be compared in one attribution layer. It is more campaign-centric than network reporting tools and is designed around acquisition measurement; publisher recruitment is not its job.
Traffic routing analytics
#3 of 5 in Affiliate Analytics
Voluum tracks clicks, conversions and campaign performance while also supporting traffic distribution and rule-based optimization. That combination is useful for affiliates who need to compare offers and landing pages and then route traffic according to campaign logic. Its analytics are built around media-buying execution, not publisher-network relationship management.
Network program reporting
#4 of 5 in Affiliate Analytics
CJ's reporting sits inside its advertiser-publisher network model, so analytics are tied to affiliate relationships, tracked actions and program performance. The result is useful for brands already operating within CJ that want publisher-level visibility without stitching together a separate tracker; the tradeoff is that the data model follows the network's own program structure.
For partner performance reporting
#5 of 5 in Affiliate Analytics
Everflow combines partner tracking, attribution and analytics with program operations. It can consolidate performance from affiliates and other measurable partner channels, keeping conversion reporting close to commission and payout workflows; it pays off when the team wants analytics to inform partner management directly, without a separate traffic dashboard.

A dedicated tracker can compare traffic and conversions across several networks, advertising platforms and offers in one system. Network reporting is normally limited to activity handled by that network. Independent tracking is useful when campaigns span several ecosystems.
Server-side tracking sends conversion information between systems without relying only on browser scripts. It can improve continuity where browser restrictions or blocked cookies reduce client-side tracking coverage. Implementation still requires careful event and attribution design.
Yes, RedTrack offers a free plan. Free tiers usually come with usage limits, so check whether they cover your volume before relying on them long-term.
