Getting an affiliate backend up and moving (something the likes of Mansion Productions, NATS, or other canned stats backends) isn't going to cost you an arm and a leg.  Not right away anyhow. 
 
It's what you plug into that backend (note the pun) that starts to become costly depending on what it is.
