StatsDrone has won their 2nd affiliate software award for the year and recently won the award for Affiliate Intelligence of the Year at the AffPapa Awards 2024. Earlier this year, we won the award for Best Tech for Affiliates at the iGB Awards 2024. You can see the full list of winners of the AffPapa Awards 2024 here. 

I can say that I’m both surprised and ecstatic for the wins. I was happy having our company nominated and in the shortlist given how competitive the categories were. 

For the Affiliate Intelligence of the Year award, there were 4 companies shortlisted including us:

  • StatsDrone
  • Routy
  • Voonix
  • DeepCI

Routy and Voonix are our direct competitors while DeepCI is more of a BI tool for affiliate managers and operators. It can be used for affiliates but is mainly aimed at affiliate programs.

I’d like to take this time to recognize the 2 direct competitors of Voonix and Routy.

Voonix

Voonix won the 2nd Favourite award in this category and is lead by Voonix CEO, Morten Marcussen. Morten and the team at Power Media Group have built something the market was begging for. That is data analysis on your sites and broken down by GEOs. I think they were one of the first companies to take this concept to market and it is no easy feat. 

Routy

Routy are lead by co-founders Haim Bell and Michael Filletti. I had the chance to interview Michael Filletti to talk about the problem we are trying to solve for affiliates and in affiliate marketing. I think the tool they build is ahead of its time offering a start to finish tracking solution. I know more affiliates will grow into this interest of not just needing to use postbacks but to have a better understanding of their conversion funnels beyond GEOs and sites but down to the click on any part of your site.

DeepCI

DeepCI are an advanced analytics tool that gives insights to operators where they are advertised on an affiliate’s site. I know when I survey affiliate managers to ask what tools they use for their job, it is rare to hear tools like Ahrefs or DeepCI so they are definitely needed in the space. 

Joe Hatch, our new Head of Product had this to say about the recent affiliate award win.

"Winning the Affiliate Intelligence of the Year award is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing our product and the affiliate marketing industry. Behind the scenes, we are diligently working to deliver more accessible and actionable data, empowering our customers with tools for trend analysis, performance forecasting, dynamic variables, postbacks and data attribution, regardless of the size of their operations, from small affiliates to large affiliate networks."

Darrell Helyar, co-founder and COO also added.

“Winning the Affiliate Intelligence of the Year award continues to confirm the hard work and dedication of our entire StatsDrone team to building the best software for affiliates. 

We continue to remain focused by listening to and considering all feedback to ensure that we address our customers' needs and pain points. Accuracy of data and customer support are our top priorities and this is recognized and appreciated by our customers. 

New features are always being developed. We have developed an invoice generator to allow affiliates to quickly send invoices and monitor invoices paid for follow-up. A Deal CRM has been introduced to help manage deals and ensure they are appropriately promoted. We are now working on a customer CRM feature to manage the contacts and notes of the operators. 

We have many more features in our roadmap that will continue to enhance how valuable StatsDrone is for affiliate marketing …. Stay tuned!”
