We've been using LeadDyno for several years, and it's consistently delivered value to our affiliate marketing efforts. The initial setup was simple, and onboarding affiliates was smooth. The platform’s dashboard is user-friendly and well-organized, making it easy to monitor affiliate performance, manage commissions, and track overall ROI. If there’s one area that we haven't checked more on, it would be the fraud detection tools, if there were. That said, LeadDyno has been a reliable and effective partner in helping us grow through affiliate marketing.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for being a long-time LeadDyno user! We're glad the platform has helped support your affiliate growth, and that setup was smooth. We do have fraud detection tools available—feel free to reach out to our support team if you’d like help exploring them. We appreciate your trust and partnership!

Deceptive pricing, poor customer service and outdated tech. LeadDyno's pricing is overly complex, arbitrarily tiered and based on too many things. We recently found out that we're subject to insane overage fees (0.05 / visitor) based on the number of monthly unique website visitors. This is NOT stated in the pricing tiers when viewing LeadDyno in the Shopify App Store. Billing and overages are only accessible by logging in to the LeadDyno dashboard and going to Account > Plan & Payments. Only then could we see that we would be charged hundreds of dollars in overage fees. Rather than simply auto-update our pricing plan (which would've been a much smaller cost than overage fees) or actively reach out during our billing cycle to help us avoid surprise fees, LeadDyno charges merchants ridiculous fees and attempts to hide it from store owners. I reached out to LeadDyno support, asking for a refund of the excessive fees and hoping to upgrade our plan (pay them more long term!). Given we've been a customer for years, I was hoping they'd help us solve this and stay a long term partner. Instead customer service was unapologetic and only offered us a credit towards our first month if we upgraded to an annual Unlimited plan. This is their most expensive plan which would've been overkill for our store and required a large upfront payment that we can't afford at the moment. I would NOT recommend LeadDyno to anyone. The tech is poorly built, the design is outdated, the customer service sucks and most of all, the pricing model is deceptive + not designed to be friendly to the majority of ecommerce merchants who experience strong seasonality.
We're really sorry to hear about your experience, it’s the last thing we want for any of our customers! The overage fees on legacy plans can definitely be frustrating, and we’ve been working hard to make things more fair and clearer with our new plans since January 2024. Our current plans without overages are listed on the Shopify app store and for legacy customers plan information can be found under the Plan and Payments section. I wish we could’ve helped avoid the surprise charges sooner, and I appreciate you giving us the chance to offer a credit and discount. We would be happy to discuss this further and hopefully find a resolution for you. Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]

Don't use this app! LeadDyno charges by WEBSITE visitors - so if you're working with affiliates in addition to running ads, you'll get charged for ALL the website visits regardless if it came from an affiliate. My plan unexpectedly jumped from $49 to $129 due to lots of traffic to my site that was from Facebook ads NOT necessarily from affiliate traffic. There's so many other affiliate apps out there that charge more fairly.
Thank you for sharing your cancellation feedback and review, we appreciate the feedback, and want to let you know that it is not taken lightly. We are working on overhauling our pricing and look forward to rolling that out later this year, but we are so sorry we weren't able to do so in time to save you as a customer. Thank you again for taking the time to share the feedback, it's the only way we can improve! Wishing you and your affiliate program all the best moving forward.

I worked with Leaddyno from 2015 through early 2023 and honestly, it has been a nightmare the entire time. It's difficult to articulate all of the reasons why, but I'll give a brief overview. Leaddyno will charge you according to how much traffic comes to your site, regardless of how much is driven by affiliates (unfair). It is impossible to tell how many sales came through affiliates, vs overall sales. There is no connection to affiliate marketplaces where potential affiliates can find you. And now, despite having cancelled my subscription in March, I found out that the app has been erroneously billing me $49 per month for an "uninstalled" version. I almost never have this level of disdain for a company, but Leaddyno has truly let me down at every turn. Mind boggling that they are still in business.
We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you've had with our platform during your time with us. Your feedback is extremely valuable and is not taken lightly. We understand your concerns about our pricing structure and we are currently working on overhauling our pricing, looking forward to rolling that out later this year, but we are truly sorry it couldn’t be done in time to keep you as a customer. We understand your disappointment, and we are dedicated to learning from this and growing as a company. Your insights will contribute to our ongoing efforts to better serve our customers. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. Thank you for your feedback and we wish you and your affiliate program the best moving forward.
