Credit where it is due
ClickMagick made tracking links a product: rotators, split tests and Click Shield in one place, for people who buy traffic without a data team. If your work is links and redirects, it does that job well. The table is about what happens after the click, when the visitor becomes a CRM deal weeks later.
Pricing
Both price lists are public. Here they are side by side.
ClickMagick prices by tracked visitors, LeadJourney's affiliate plans by paid spend and visitors. The ladders below are the published tiers, so you can place your own volume on each before anyone books a call.

- $79 / mo
- Standard, 100,000 visitors

- Pro, 1,000,000 visitors

US dollars, monthly list prices as published on clickmagick.com; a discounted rate ($66, $166 and $291) is on offer, and annual billing is available. Each plan covers a set number of sites, extra sites are $40 a month.

Affiliate plans in euros, monthly billing; yearly billing saves 20%. Either axis can be zero: media buyers are metered on spend, content and SEO affiliates on visitors. Campaigns, offers, traffic sources and network integrations are unlimited on every plan. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
See the full pricingWhat the axis means for an affiliate
Both count visitors, so the entry tiers are close: 10,000 visitors for $79 against 250,000 visitors for €129. The difference is what sits on the tier: multi-touch attribution, the organic and AI sources, the CRM and the affiliate networks, with offers and sources never counted.
Why teams switch
Why funnel builders and marketing teams move from ClickMagick to LeadJourney
Three arguments come up in almost every migration call. Each one is a set of concrete capabilities, not a slogan.
Affiliate tracking, included
Server-to-server postbacks
Conversions arrive by postback from your networks or your own backend, so a sale is registered even when the browser drops the pixel.
Direct linking
Send paid traffic straight to the offer without a bridge page, and still track the whole journey from click to payout.
Unlimited campaigns, offers and sources
Campaigns, offers, traffic sources and affiliate network integrations are never limited, on any affiliate plan.
Affiliate network integrations
Connect the networks you promote for and pull conversions and payouts back automatically, so cost, revenue, profit and ROI sit in one report.
UTM builder
Clean, consistent tracking links for every campaign built inside LeadJourney, so traffic never lands in your reports as unknown.
From the click into the CRM
Forms, calls and CRM stages as conversions
Every conversion type a lead gen business has, tracked out of the box, with the CRM stage as the signal that matters rather than a checkout event.
CRM revenue attribution
Closed revenue from your CRM matched to the campaign, ad and keyword that created it, so return on ad spend is measured on deals, not on lead counts.
Conversions API sync on every plan
Real conversions and revenue go back to Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Reddit and X Ads server-side, so their algorithms optimise on deals that actually closed.
Multi-touch attribution, every model
First click, last click, linear, position based and the rest on every plan, switchable without re-tracking anything; custom models on Enterprise.
Organic and AI search as sources of their own
Google, Bing, YouTube, LinkedIn, email, referrals and the AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek) attributed next to your ads at no extra cost.
European, transparent, fast
Frankfurt EU hosting
Frankfurt, Germany, with full EU data residency. GDPR compliant by design, with no transfer mechanism to document.
GDPR-native architecture
First-party tracking on your own domain, hashed identifiers and no third-party cookies, with an Art. 28 DPA on request. Compliant by default, not by configuration.
Public pricing by spend
Public tiers from €129 per month, set by your marketing spend and visible before you talk to anyone, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card.
21 minute setup
From signup to live tracking in under 21 minutes, self-serve; an onboarding call with a tracking expert from Starter, and 14 days of setup support.
Ask Atlas, the AI marketing analyst
Atlas reads your campaign, lead and CRM data and answers questions in plain language; Atlas agents watch the data and send daily or weekly reports to email, Slack or WhatsApp.

Switching
From ClickMagick to LeadJourney in 21 minutes
Nothing to rebuild. Add the script, connect the accounts, repoint the postbacks, and run both trackers side by side until the numbers agree.
- 1About 5 minutes
Add the LeadJourney script
Paste one snippet into your site or your GTM container, alongside the ClickMagick script. It starts recording sessions, click IDs and form fills immediately, and nothing about your current setup changes.
- 2About 10 minutes
Connect your ad accounts and networks
Sign in to Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Reddit and X Ads over OAuth, so spend arrives every two hours, and add the networks you promote for. Custom traffic sources take a link or a webhook.
- 3About 6 minutes
Point your postbacks at LeadJourney
Paste the postback URL into your networks and offers, or send conversions from your own backend server to server. Every payout lands on the click that earned it, and the conversion goes on to Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Reddit and X Ads over the Conversions API.

- 5 out of 5 starsGoogle
“Before LeadJourney, we had no reliable tracking concept for our five-figure ad spend. We were manually building spreadsheet and CRM reports, inaccurate and time-consuming. Within two days, everything was set up. For the first time, I know exactly what I pay per lead and which campaigns actually bring in the best-qualified prospects.”
Florian BuckCEO, Klickkraft GmbH “With LeadJourney we are able to track all our leads and connect them with sales and attribution data to make better decisions. In the first month of using it we scaled from 0 to 100k revenue from paid ads only.”

FAQ
ClickMagick vs LeadJourney, your questions answered
The questions funnel builders and marketing teams ask before switching, answered the way we answer them on calls.
What is the actual difference between ClickMagick and LeadJourney?
ClickMagick is a link tracker: you create tracking links, rotate offers behind them, split test pages, and see clicks and conversions per link, with postbacks and a Conversions API to close the loop. LeadJourney is the all-in-one attribution platform: one script on your site records every visit without a tracking link, then follows the lead into the CRM and attributes closed revenue across every touch, for lead generation first (B2B and B2C) and for e-commerce through the Shopify integration or a manually connected shop. Phone calls count through call tracking numbers, organic and AI search are sources of their own, stage changes go back to the ad platforms, and Atlas answers questions in plain language. It hosts in Frankfurt and prices in euros.
Does LeadJourney have rotators and split testing?
No. LeadJourney does not rotate offers or split test landing pages behind a link. It has a UTM builder for clean campaign links, direct linking without a bridge page, and a landing page report that shows which entry pages convert and what each one earns. If rotators are the reason you run ClickMagick, keep them for that; if you mostly need to know which traffic makes money after the click, LeadJourney answers that from the CRM.
Can affiliates use LeadJourney?
Yes. Affiliates are one of the three account types, with plans from €129 a month. Server-to-server postbacks, direct linking, click ID tracking, affiliate network integrations, custom traffic sources and cost sync every two hours are on every affiliate plan, and campaigns, offers, traffic sources and network integrations are never limited.
ClickMagick names e-commerce among its users. Does LeadJourney track a store?
Yes. LeadJourney connects Shopify natively and any other shop system manually, then reports ROAS and where each customer came from across every touch, beside the leads and postbacks in the same account. Product-level catalogue analytics, AOV and cohort tooling remain the strength of a dedicated e-commerce tool; LeadJourney's core is the lead, with the store tracked beside it, so a business that sells through forms, calls and a shop gets one attribution model for all three.
How does the pricing compare?
Both publish their prices. ClickMagick runs from $79 a month for 10,000 tracked visitors to $349 for a million, with a discounted rate on offer and extra sites at $40 each. LeadJourney's affiliate plans run from €129 a month for 250,000 visitors and €10,000 of paid spend, with offers, sources and network integrations unlimited, after a 14-day free trial. An advertiser, lead gen or e-commerce, is on the advertiser ladder instead, from the same €129, set by marketing spend.
Does LeadJourney filter bad clicks like Click Shield?
LeadJourney filters bots and lets you block traffic by referrer, campaign, IP, user agent, email, domain, entry URL and form, with tags applied by rule and full logs of every click, conversion and postback on every plan. Click Shield is a dedicated click fraud product with its own rules, which matters most on traffic sources known for it. For paid social and search traffic into a lead funnel the blacklist and the logs cover what teams actually use.
Can we migrate from ClickMagick to LeadJourney?
Yes. Setup takes about 21 minutes: add the script, connect the ad accounts and networks, and repoint the postbacks. Your existing tracking links keep working during the switch because LeadJourney reads the UTMs and click IDs they carry. Most teams run both for a week or two and compare the numbers before switching ClickMagick off.
