Affilytics review
A focused link-management service for health monitoring, routing, and analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Affilytics is a hosted link-management service for YouTubers, bloggers, and other content creators. It scans YouTube descriptions and websites through sitemaps to discover links, checks their health, and identifies broken or attribution-lost destinations. Smart links can route visitors to country-specific destinations, while click analytics cover country, link, and day. The service also detects out-of-stock conditions and supports discovery across 47+ networks, making it suited to publishers managing links across multiple content channels.
Pricing is structured around a free tier and one paid plan. Free Starter costs $0 per month and includes 1 source, smart links with default URL routing after the trial, broken-link detection on the first scan, and geo-analytics. It includes a 14-day Pro trial. Pro costs $9 per month, billed monthly, and expands access to 10 sources, geo-routing across detected networks, unlimited smart links, scheduled rescans, and country, daily-click, and weekly reports. Pro also checks link health every 6 hours and sends email alerts when links break.
The strongest fit is for publishers who want link discovery, health monitoring, geographic routing, and reporting in one web service. Its focused feature set covers YouTube, websites, smart links, link scans, and network discovery rather than a broad publishing workflow. Free Starter offers a low-commitment way to begin, but publishers needing continuous monitoring, geo-routing, or more than 1 source will need Pro. Choose Affilytics when link health and country-aware routing are central requirements; choose another tool when a web-only service or the 10-source Pro limit does not fit your workflow.
