How wecantrack and Affilimate handle conversion data differently
Affilimate keeps affiliate conversion data inside its own dashboard. It tracks its own events, reports article-level revenue inside its UI, and gives editorial teams in-content heatmaps and commission reconciliation as core features.
wecantrack takes a different route with the same conversion data: it pulls from your affiliate networks and routes the data into the analytics, BI, and ad-platform tools your team already uses. GA4 as ecommerce purchase events. Looker Studio and BigQuery for reporting. Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and Microsoft Ads for paid optimisation.
Same affiliate sales, different downstream destination.
Why publishers switch from Affilimate to wecantrack
The most common reasons publishers move from Affilimate to wecantrack:
- They need affiliate revenue inside GA4 alongside organic and paid revenue (Affilimate doesn’t push to GA4)
- They run paid campaigns and need affiliate conversions feeding Google Ads or Meta Ads for ROAS bidding (Affilimate has no native ad platform integrations)
- They want Looker Studio or BigQuery exports from the entry tier (Affilimate has these on premium tiers only)
- They work with affiliate networks outside Affilimate’s 100+ catalog — wecantrack covers 450+
- They want self-serve onboarding and published $69/month pricing instead of a sales-qualified demo
Switching from Affilimate to wecantrack
- Create your wecantrack account and connect your affiliate networks via API or postback (450+ networks supported).
- Install the wecantrack JavaScript tag, WordPress plugin, or use the server-side Clickout API.
- Activate GA4, Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, and Looker Studio integrations from the dashboard.
- First conversions appear in wecantrack within 24-48 hours.
Affilimate stays accessible during the migration. Both tools can pull from the same affiliate network APIs in parallel without conflict, so you can run them side by side while the switch settles.
What you can set up in wecantrack that Affilimate doesn’t offer

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the main difference between wecantrack and Affilimate?
wecantrack pulls affiliate conversion data from 450+ networks and routes it into GA4, Looker Studio, BigQuery, and ad platforms (Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft Ads). Affilimate keeps conversion data inside its own dashboard and focuses on article-level revenue, in-content heatmaps, and commission reconciliation for editorial publishers.
Will my Affilimate setup keep working if I install wecantrack?
Yes. Affiliate networks support multiple tracking tools connected at once. Most publishers run both in parallel for 30-60 days during migration. After that you can decommission Affilimate or keep it for editorial workflows specifically.
Does wecantrack do article-level revenue reporting like Affilimate?
Yes — conversions are attributed to the click-page (the article that drove the click) and the landing-page. If you specifically need in-article heatmaps showing where readers click product placements, that’s an Affilimate-only feature.
Does wecantrack handle commission reconciliation?
No, not as a dedicated feature. wecantrack ingests reported conversions from each network’s API. Affilimate has dedicated tooling for catching missed or under-reported commissions across networks.
How does pricing compare?
wecantrack: $69/month entry, 15-day self-serve trial, published pricing. Affilimate: demo + custom quote, no published pricing.
How long does migration take?
First conversions appear in wecantrack within 24-48 hours of connecting networks. Full integration with GA4 and ad platforms typically takes 1-2 weeks. Affilimate stays running in parallel.
