StatsDrone is thrilled to announce it has won the iGB Affiliate Awards 2025 for Innovator of the Year.

The award was given based on the product launch for Changelog which is a feature utilizing StatsDrone to help affiliates identify changes in their affiliate data. 

The product was a long evolution of the core mission statement of StatsDrone. It isn't just that we want to automate and optimize affiliate marketing, but it started from a pain point of helping affiliates fight back against revenue leak. 

Revenue leak is the core reason why we myself and co-founder Darrell Helyar, decided to pursue building StatsDrone. One of the main ideas behind StatsDrone had to do with the following situations:

  • Having affiliate programs change software and invalidating old links
  • Brands closing with no notifications
  • Not being aware of programs that owe other affiliates money
  • Unresponsive affiliate managers
  • Programs that may have suspicious activity regarding affiliate data

What we wanted to build at StatsDrone was a feedback system for affiliates to be able to share info with other affiliates and to help keep operators and affiliate programs accountable. 

Changelog is becoming one of the most requested features to use from our existing customers as they want the ability to analyze their data and spot any changes. 

It has been one of the many products and features that StatsDrone has launched over the past 12 months and includes the following:

  • Dynamic variables
  • Changelog - shaving detection
  • Postbacks
  • BI alerts in Tableau
  • Custom dataviz with Tableau
  • Seats
  • Dynamic variables addon for Pretty Links WordPress plugin
  • Dynamic variables addon for Thirsty Affiliates WordPress plugin
