ClickFlare

What ClickFlare is

ClickFlare is a cloud-based campaign tracker for affiliates, media buyers and ecommerce advertisers. It records clicks from paid traffic, matches them to conversions coming back from an affiliate network or a store, and reports which source, creative and offer earned the money. It pays nobody for content or traffic, and it charges a subscription, but it also runs a referral program that pays a recurring commission to people who send it new customers. A 14-day free trial needs no credit card. The help center says nothing needs installing, only a browser, and the support line is live chat staffed by people who run traffic themselves, on every plan. For an earner who buys adult traffic or promotes offers through pop and push networks, it is a tool that sits between the traffic source and the network that pays.

How tracking works

The tracker offers two methods. Redirect tracking is simpler to configure and works in most setups, while direct tracking avoids the redirect, which helps where faster landing page loading matters. The help center says the tool gives a unified view across traffic sources, in contrast to a source's own analytics that show only data from that platform, and it claims a first campaign can be live in under 30 minutes by following its quickstart. The home page claims average redirect speed under 50 ms and an uptime record it dates from January 2021, and the about page describes a team of developers, designers and client success specialists spread around the world. Those are the vendor's own claims.

The main pitch is server-side data. The site argues that client-side pixels lose conversions to ad blockers, iOS restrictions and browser privacy changes, and that each ad platform then takes credit for the same sale with a different number. ClickFlare's answer is a Conversion API (CAPI) that sends purchase events with revenue data back to Meta, Google and TikTok, and a Tag Manager that tracks add-to-cart, checkout and purchase events without editing store code. The pricing FAQ confirms Conversion API integrations with Facebook, Google Ads and TikTok, plus cost integrations with Taboola, Outbrain and Revcontent. Reporting and analytics break sales down by creative, product, geo and device, and an AI Copilot answers plain-language questions about campaign results.

For the affiliate side, the integrations page is the useful part. It lists postback templates that sync cost and conversions for pop, push and other traffic sources: Evadav, RichPush, Mondiad, kwai, Mintegral, Clickadu, PopAds, HilltopAds, TrafficJunky and AdMaven. Affiliate network templates with multi-event tracking include FlexOffers, Admitad, Mediapartners (M4trix), AdCombo, Perform[cb] and MarketCall. The same page lists postback integrations for ExoClick, TrafficStars and PropellerAds. A separate search arbitrage section covers revenue from feed providers such as Tonic, System1, Sedo, Inuvo and Airfind, with a keyword builder that shows earnings per click by keyword and delayed revenue reconciliation.

Switching is a sales point. The site offers a free hands-on migration from Voluum, RedTrack or BeMob: campaigns, offers and domains carried over, historical data moved, and both trackers run side by side until the numbers match. A Voluum importer pulls campaigns across in a few clicks. The home page adds that most accounts are live within an afternoon of signing up. The pricing FAQ says custom plans exist for high-volume buyers: Organization plans raise limits, allow up to 50 users and add priority SLA support.

The referral program

The referral page invites anyone to join free, with no fees and no commitments. A short form creates the account, the program issues a personal referral link, and the member earns each time a new user signs up through it. The link can be shared on social media, a blog or any other channel. The pitch is a fixed commission that continues for as long as the referred customer stays with ClickFlare. A "switching trackers" message sits next to the sign-up steps. The referral page does not publish the payout method, schedule or minimum.

Money and rules

Pricing is a flat monthly fee by plan, never a percentage of ad spend, and the pricing page says the full tracking stack, including the Conversion API, automatic cost sync and live chat support, comes with every plan. Plans are named Starter, Pro and Master, with Organization plans called Agency, Enterprise and Corporate above them. What separates the plans is volume: the number of active campaigns, monthly events, ad accounts, custom domains, workspaces and additional users. Events beyond a plan's allowance are billed at the end of the cycle without interrupting campaigns. Upgrades and downgrades apply immediately with prorated billing and no long-term contracts. If a payment fails, the subscription is retried for 7 days while traffic keeps running, and access is paused after 7 failed attempts until payment is resolved. The refund policy says renewal fees are debited from the client's credit card at the start of each renewal period without further authorization, that services are non-refundable unless the pricing terms say otherwise, that billing problems must be raised within 30 days, that cancellation must be done by the primary account holder inside the account, not by email, phone or chat, and that content may be deleted immediately on cancellation.

On figures, in October 2026 the referral page sets a fixed 15% commission on every payment a referred user makes. The pricing FAQ gives overage rates that fall on higher plans, from $0.04 per 1,000 events on Starter to $0.03 on Master. The plan ladder read that month starts with Starter at $89 a month on monthly billing, with 500 active campaigns and 1,000,000 monthly events, and reaches $429 a month for Master; yearly billing is advertised at a 20% saving. The Organization plans run higher, and above the top one the site quotes a custom contract. Add-ons such as faster cost updates and extra tracking domains are priced separately.

Who it suits and who it does not

ClickFlare suits a media buyer or affiliate who buys from pop, push and native sources, wants cost synced automatically through postbacks and needs conversion data sent back to Meta, Google or TikTok. It suits someone leaving another tracker, because migration is free. It suits a blogger or community owner who can recommend it, given that the referral commission continues while the customer stays.

It suits a creator who earns through a fan platform and buys no ads less well, because there is nothing for them to track. The terms are strict about cancellation and refunds, so a buyer should cancel inside the account and watch billing dates. And the site markets itself by vertical to lead generation, ecommerce, search arbitrage and iGaming rather than to adult offers, so an adult buyer gets the integrations without any guidance written for that trade.
