Affonso vs Trackdesk

Trackdesk's free plan is generous — but managed payouts and embeddable dashboards aren't on the menu. Affonso ships both, plus native Stripe billing, from €15/mo.

Why Affonso

Where
Trackdesk stops short for SaaS

Trackdesk orchestrates payouts via Tipalti and PayPal — you still maintain those accounts. Affonso runs the whole payout, tax, and invoice flow natively.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about switching from Trackdesk to Affonso.

Start freeBook a demo

For SaaS teams, yes. Affonso ships true managed payouts (Trackdesk orchestrates payouts via Tipalti and PayPal — you maintain those accounts), native invoice generation, an embeddable referral dashboard, a first-party MCP server, and SDK. Trackdesk's free plan is generous and its 900+ integrations and vertical breadth (iGaming, prop trading, networks) are real strengths if you operate outside SaaS.
