Trackli vs GoAffPro

GoAffPro is a Shopify-focused affiliate marketing app that offers a free plan for basic tracking. It's popular among Shopify store owners who want to add affiliate functionality without leaving the Shopify ecosystem.

Free plan: Trackli / GoAffPro
5-min setup: Trackli
GoAffPro is exclusively a Shopify integration. It tracks orders through Shopify's order system and uses Shopify Payments for transaction data. There is no support for Stripe, Paddle, or any non-Shopify payment processor.

What is GoAffPro?

Best suited for

Shopify store owners who sell physical or digital products and want a simple, affordable way to add affiliate tracking directly within their Shopify admin.

May not be right for

SaaS companies, subscription businesses, multi-platform sellers, or anyone who needs tracking beyond the Shopify ecosystem.

Where GoAffPro shines

  • Seamless Shopify integration that installs directly from the App Store with one-click setup for store owners
  • Affordable premium pricing at $24/mo makes it one of the cheapest paid affiliate tools available
  • Multi-level marketing (MLM) support for stores that want tiered affiliate structures with sub-affiliates

Where startups struggle with GoAffPro

  • Complete Shopify lock-in means the tool is useless if you sell through any other channel or platform
  • No SaaS subscription tracking or recurring commission support — strictly ecommerce order-based
  • The free tier is heavily restricted, serving more as a preview than a functional affiliate program

The Trackli approach

Works with any platform — SaaS, ecommerce, subscriptions, anything
Purpose-built subscription and recurring revenue tracking
Richer analytics that go far beyond basic click and sale counts
A free tier that's genuinely useful, not just a teaser

Pricing & value

GoAffPro's premium starts at just $24/mo, making it one of the most affordable options — but only for Shopify stores. For SaaS companies, GoAffPro isn't even an option since it doesn't support subscription billing. Trackli's free tier provides SaaS-specific tracking that GoAffPro simply cannot offer regardless of price.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use GoAffPro for a SaaS product or is it strictly for Shopify stores?
GoAffPro is strictly for Shopify stores — it tracks Shopify orders and only works within the Shopify ecosystem. It cannot track SaaS subscriptions, Stripe payments, or any non-Shopify transactions. Trackli is built specifically for SaaS and subscription businesses.
Is GoAffPro's free tier functional enough for a real affiliate program?
GoAffPro's free tier is very limited — it serves as a preview but lacks the features most stores need for a real program. Trackli's free tier is designed to be genuinely useful, with full core tracking capabilities that can run a complete affiliate program at no cost.
What's the advantage of GoAffPro's MLM feature compared to Trackli?
GoAffPro offers multi-level marketing (MLM) commission structures where affiliates earn from sub-affiliate sales. This is useful for some ecommerce businesses. Trackli focuses on straightforward affiliate tracking without MLM complexity, which is more appropriate for SaaS businesses.
Should I use GoAffPro if I sell both physical products on Shopify and a SaaS product?
If you sell across both channels, GoAffPro can only track the Shopify side. You'd need a separate tool for SaaS tracking, creating a fragmented experience. Trackli can track both subscription revenue and product sales through its flexible integration, giving you a unified view.
How does GoAffPro's $24/mo premium compare to Trackli's paid plans?
GoAffPro's $24/mo is affordable but only covers Shopify order tracking. Trackli's free tier already provides more capability for SaaS companies than GoAffPro's premium plan, with native Stripe integration, recurring commissions, and real-time analytics.
