Credit where it is due

Dreamdata models the B2B account journey better than anyone: every stakeholder's touches on one company timeline, anonymous visitors identified, audiences synced daily. A RevOps team selling six-figure contracts to buying committees should look at it seriously. The table is about the business whose revenue arrives as a form, a call or a CRM deal, where attribution per lead and a public price list are the shorter route.

Why teams switch

Why marketing teams choose LeadJourney over an account model

Three arguments come up in almost every evaluation. Each one is a set of concrete capabilities, not a slogan.

The named lead, not the modelled account

  • 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.

  • The full journey of every lead

    Every touchpoint from the first click to the closed deal on one timeline, with the CRM stage on it, for any single lead your sales team asks about.

  • 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.

  • Lead quality by channel

    See which channels bring leads that qualify and close, not just the ones that fill the form.

  • CRM enrichment

    Attribution written back into the CRM, so every lead carries its real source, campaign and keyword where sales works.

Revenue back to the platforms on every plan

  • Conversions API sync on every plan

    Real conversions and revenue go back to Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft server-side, so their algorithms optimise on deals that actually closed.

  • Offline conversion tracking

    Calls, meetings and signed contracts connected back to the exact ad that generated them, and sent to the ad platforms as the conversion they should optimise on.

  • Server-side tracking, 95%+ accuracy

    Conversions are recorded on your own domain and sent server to server, so ad blockers, iOS and declined consent lose far less of them. 95%+ of conversions captured.

  • 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.

  • Custom traffic channels and costs

    Track affiliates, podcasts, newsletters, PR and print as channels of their own, add their costs by hand, and your return covers everything you spend.

Priced and set up for the mid-market

  • 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.

  • 14-day free trial

    Every plan starts with a 14-day trial, no credit card, so the numbers can be checked against your current tool before anyone signs anything.

  • 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.

  • Reports ready on day one

    Channel, campaign, landing page and conversion path reports, plus the lead overview, built in and filled the moment data arrives.

  3. 3About 6 minutes

  • 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.

    LeadJourney finally fixed my Marketing Analytics. It goes way beyond basic Ad Tracking Software. The Customer Journey Report saves hours of digging, and capturing everything from Offline Conversions to AI Search Tracking makes it the Best B2B Attribution Platform available.

    Connected LeadJourney for 2 clients, setup took literally 20 minutes each. The data became more accurate, the reports actually make sense. Now clients look at the dashboard and the 'why don't the numbers match?' questions are gone.

    With LeadJourney, we have finally found a tool that provides us with the data we need to scale our performance marketing campaigns. The most important KPI is no longer lead price but cost per qualified lead.

    The ability to track both online and offline conversions in one unified dashboard has given us insights we never had before. Our ROI has improved dramatically since we started integrating LeadJourney with our CRM. We're finally able to see the full customer journey, and it's been a game changer for our strategy.

FAQ

Dreamdata vs LeadJourney, your questions answered

The questions teams ask before choosing between an account model and lead-level attribution, answered the way we answer them on calls.

What is the actual difference between Dreamdata and LeadJourney?

The unit of attribution. Dreamdata models the account: every stakeholder's touches from the first anonymous visit to closed won on one company timeline, with company identification, audience activation and an AI agent on top, sold to RevOps teams on quote. LeadJourney is the all-in-one attribution platform built around the named lead: it tracks on your own domain server-side, follows that person through the form, the call (static or dynamic tracking numbers as an add-on), the booking and the CRM stages to the closed deal, attributes the revenue with every model, treats the AI engines as sources, sends the outcome back to Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft on every plan and reports on it with Atlas. Lead generation comes first, B2B and B2C, and e-commerce runs beside it through the Shopify integration or a manually connected shop. Dreamdata is built for buying committees; LeadJourney for the business that wants every conversion, from a form to an order, on one attribution model.

How does the pricing compare?

Dreamdata has a free plan at $0 with two months of history, five seats, three stage models and one sync; the Attribution and Activation plans are on custom pricing by monthly tracked users, with Activation and the warehouse as add-ons. LeadJourney publishes its tiers: €129 a month up to €5,000 of marketing spend, €249 up to €15,000, €499 up to €50,000, €799 up to €100,000 and from €999 above that, monthly or yearly, after a 14-day trial without a card, with attribution and the Conversions API sync on every tier. Agencies and affiliates have plans of their own.

We already use Dreamdata. Can the two run side by side?

Yes, and most teams do for a week or two. The LeadJourney script sits next to the Dreamdata analytics script and records the same sessions and click IDs; the ad accounts and the CRM connect over OAuth, so nothing is exported by hand. Then you compare: the account journey in Dreamdata against the lead journey in LeadJourney, and the closed revenue each one attributes. Setup takes about 21 minutes, and historic campaign data and spend are imported from the ad platforms so the reports are not empty on day one.

Dreamdata identifies the companies visiting our site. Does LeadJourney?

No, and that is the clearest line between the two. Dreamdata identifies, by its own figure, up to 80% of the companies behind anonymous visits, scores their engagement and builds audiences from it, which is what an account-based programme runs on. LeadJourney starts at the identified lead: the form fill, the call, the booked meeting, the CRM record, the order in the shop. From there it holds the whole journey per person, from the first click to the closed deal, and sends the outcome back to the ad platforms. If the anonymous account is what you need to see, Dreamdata is the tool; if the named lead is, LeadJourney is.

Does Dreamdata send revenue back to the ad platforms like LeadJourney does?

Yes. Inside its Activation Hub, Dreamdata syncs conversions to Google Ads Enhanced Conversions for Leads, the LinkedIn Conversions API, Microsoft Enhanced Conversions and Meta Conversions, and audiences to the same four platforms. Activation is an add-on to the paid plan, and the free plan carries one sync. On LeadJourney the Conversions API sync to Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft is on every plan from €129, and the events it sends are the CRM stage changes and closed deals of named leads, so the platforms optimise on revenue from the first month.

We have Dreamdata's free plan. Why pay for LeadJourney?

Because the free plan is analytics, not attribution: the attribution models, the Analytics Agent, the MCP server and the conversion syncs sit on the paid plan, which is priced on quote. LeadJourney's entry tier at €129 a month includes server-side tracking on your own domain, every attribution model, the CRM stages and closed deals as conversions, the sync back to the four ad platforms and the AI engines as sources. The comparison is not free against paid; it is what you get the moment you need attribution, and whether you can read the price first.
