What is StatsDrone?
StatsDrone has started off as a place where affiliates could get all of their affiliate stats and commissions in one place but has grown into something bigger. If you’re not recording your data with your affiliate programs or perhaps even doing it manually with spreadsheets, StatsDrone does this work once a day automatically.
Now the app has a suite of tools to make life easier for iGaming affiliates with the following features:
So why use StatsDrone?
The app can connect to all your affiliate programs and get your traffic and revenue data every day and available for you before you wake up.
Now you can get your data once a day, have it stored historically especially if any program closes and it can help you react to changes in your business.
You can spot any negative trends on any declining brands or campaigns but you can also identify brands that are trending up so you can direct more traffic there.
Who is StatsDrone for?
All users have the ability to store data on their own servers if they choose.
Some of our customers that have also tested other competing apps have told us that we were the most accurate stats app for affiliates and we also had the best support and largest number of affiliate program integrations available.
For the other plans for Starter, Growth and Enterprise, these give you up to 50 affiliate programs to connect with.
The most popular plan we have is the Enterprise plan which allows for brand and campaign analysis along with 2 years of data you can access.
After the first 50 programs, the additional costs are $1 per program per month. If you’re looking to use dynamic variables, the additional cost would be $2 per program per month.
As of June 2025, our team is made of of 12 people as developers, BI analytics and product people. Our Head of Product is Joe Hatch and our Head of BI and Analytics is Lynda Salem.
What do we believe are our advantages over our competitors?
Based on what customers have told us that have used our competitors and StatsDrone, they say we have more programs coverage, more accurate data and better customer service. Simply put, we have a large tech team at StatsDrone and we invest heavily into our team.
We have a long term vision to make affiliate marketing better for everyone and the business is driven by this mission statement.
Data privacy and security is taken very seriously by everyone at StatsDrone. The StatsDrone app is a cloud app and not a desktop app. All the customer data is stored on our server and is fully encrypted.
StatsDrone as a company does not look at your traffic and revenue data.
The data that we do see are the programs you connect with for the status whether it is a successful or failed connection.
StatsDrone customers do have the ability to store data on their own server and we also have an on-premise (on-prem) version of the app. This on-prem app is called DIDO and is a headless version of the app without an interface that focuses on the data retrieval only.
How long does it take to add in a program?
If the affiliate program you need added uses an established software like MyAffiliates, ReferOn, RavenTrack, Affnook or PartnerMatrix, that program can be added within minutes. If the program is a custom proprietary platform, then it could take a full day for us to integrate.
I have hundreds of affiliate programs, how can you help me onboard faster?
We allow customers to connect with API or credentials. Currently StatsDrone supports nearly 2000 affiliate programs and we have the ability for doing bulk imports of credentials or API.
I’m using a competitor, can you help me migrate?
If you want to connect your programs from one platform into StatsDrone, we can help with a bulk important to make the process easy and as fast as possible. Just contact us and we’ll be happy to help regardless of how many accounts you have to connect.
Who owns StatsDrone?
StatsDrone is founded by John Wright and Darrell Helyar and majority owned and controlled by them. The company has taken on some angel investors to grow and scale the business.
Why did you build StatsDrone?
As former affiliates and as an affiliate manager, we saw problems in affiliate marketing that were not getting solved. Using previous affiliate stats apps, many of them wouldn’t give useful feedback that would solve for revenue leak. That is, if an affiliate program went out of business or changed tracking links, affiliates wouldn’t know about it. We wanted to build an app that had a better feedback loop for affiliates so they could optimize their business while avoiding revenue leak.
What is the difference between your dynamic variables and postbacks solutions?
Dynamic variables and postbacks are 2 misunderstood concepts in affiliate marketing.
A postback is considered something like an email read receipt that someone has opened your email, or in the case of iGaming, your players have deposited a specific amount.
With a tool like dynamic variables, you can not just get the deposit activity but get the revenue activity associated with a click ID.
I use tools like Voluum, will StatsDrone replace it or work with Voluum?
StatsDrone can integrate with many tools and integrates well with tools like Voluum, Keitaro, Pretty Links, Thirsty Affiliates and many more. StatsDrone has many customers that use these tools in conjunction with StatsDrone to get the full traffic and revenue data that you need.
How can I export my data with the API?
StatsDrone gives affiliates the ability to export all of your data with our API. You can export all account data, brands, campaigns and dynamic variables and all of this can be filtered by tags.
This means you’ll have the power to export data to save in another database and build a BI platform that could be connected with tools like Tableau, Looker Studio, Power BI, Metabase and many more.
Can you help us create a Tableau dashboard?
StatsDrone has dedicated staff that can help you with building a customer BI dashboard. These Business Intelligence dashboards can blend multiple data sources like Google Ads, Facebook Ads and combine with link management tools like Voluum.
