What is Scaleo?
Scaleo is a newer affiliate tracking platform that positions itself as a modern alternative to legacy tools like HasOffers or CAKE. It has a clean interface, supports postback tracking, offers anti-fraud modules and markets itself heavily toward networks. On the surface it looks slick, but once you dig in, the limitations become clear. Scaleo is still primarily a click and conversion tracker. There is no native lead management, no embedded forms, no structured validation of data and no advanced lead handling. Commission flexibility is limited and invoicing or financial features are absent. Users also report that while the UI is fresh, workflows are shallow and documentation is thin, which makes more complex setups harder to manage.
For affiliate networks that only need standard link and conversion tracking wrapped in a newer design, Scaleo can be appealing. For operators that expect a complete affiliate and lead-gen backbone with validation, cookieless tracking, multiple lead structures, embedded forms and API integrations, Scaleo falls short where PalDock was built to excel.
One platform. All the tools.
From tracking to payouts – Paldock replaces the mess.
Scaleo vs PalDock
We spent hundreds of hours researching our competitors. Instead of guessing, we built a full step-by-step guide on How to choose the right affiliate software. We used it ourselves to analyze dozens of different tools, mapping over 30 features and limitations along the way. We didn’t stop at the surface. We actually integrated them and went through their onboarding like real users. These are the key differences:
| Scaleo | PalDock | |
|---|---|---|
| Tracks affiliate links |  | |
| Lead capture via embedded forms |  | |
| Lead capture via embedded API | | |
| Unified dashboard for link, form and API conversions | | |
| Advanced lead handling | | |
| GDPR compliant | | |
