WeCanTrack vs WhatPulse
WeCanTrack is an affiliate-marketing attribution service whose Public Clickout API rewrites an outbound affiliate link with a tracking sub-ID before redirecting the shopper, letting merchants tie clicks back to conversions across 450+ affiliate networks. Every call carries a per-account API key (via header or query string), and the public clickout endpoint is IP-throttled to 30 requests/minute to keep redirect latency low. There's no ongoing free tier — plans start at $69/month after a 15-day trial.
WhatPulse is a desktop client that measures keystrokes, mouse clicks, and application usage, publishing the results through a companion Web API for personal dashboards and community leaderboards. Every request now needs a Bearer-token personal API key created on the account's API settings page — the desktop client works without one, but the Web API no longer does. Core statistics are free to query; a Premium subscription unlocks deeper productivity insights and unlimited history.
