Youfiliate
Youfiliate provides affiliate smart links that send visitors to local storefronts and can open merchant apps on mobile. Its branded youfil.to URLs use a visitor’s location to choose a storefront, while click analytics record country, device type, and referrer. The service monitors destination URLs for broken or degraded links. YouTube Auto-Migration can bulk-convert affiliate links in video descriptions after a creator authorizes access through YouTube OAuth. Listed destinations include Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact, CJ Affiliate, Rakuten, and any URL; the site also describes an MCP integration for Claude. Links can be used in YouTube descriptions, TikTok bios, Instagram link-in-bio pages, blogs, emails, and newsletters. Youfiliate is web-based and aimed at YouTube creators and affiliate marketers. Its free plan includes three smart links; paid plans start at $7/mo, and a 14-day trial is listed. The service says its redirects do not use cookies, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking, and do not store raw IP addresses.
