Credit where it is due

RedTrack has spent years on the plumbing affiliates depend on: templates for traffic sources most tools have never heard of, cost sync down to five minutes, an early Conversions API. If the conversion is the postback, that depth matters. The table is about what happens after it, when the revenue closes weeks later.

Pricing

Both price lists are public. Here they are side by side.

RedTrack prices its affiliate plans by tracked events, LeadJourney its 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.

What the axis means for a media buyer

An events ladder counts every click, visit and conversion, so a campaign that scales moves you up a tier whether or not it makes money. LeadJourney's affiliate plans meter the two numbers you already watch, paid spend and visitors, and never count offers, sources or networks. An advertiser, lead gen or e-commerce, is on a different ladder again, by marketing spend, from the same €129.

Why teams switch

Why media buyers and marketing teams move from RedTrack 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.

  • Cost sync every two hours, faster as an add-on

    Spend from your ad platforms refreshes every two hours on every plan; 30, 15 and 5 minute refreshes are add-ons for buyers who cut campaigns intraday.

From the postback 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 and Microsoft server-side, so their algorithms optimise on deals that actually closed.

  • 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.

  • 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 RedTrack 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.

  1. 1About 5 minutes

    Add the LeadJourney script

    Paste one snippet into your site or your GTM container, alongside the RedTrack script. It starts recording sessions, click IDs and form fills immediately, and nothing about your current setup changes.

  2. 2About 10 minutes

    Connect your ad accounts and networks

    Sign in to Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft 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.

  3. 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 and Microsoft over the Conversions API.

Original reviews

What our customers wrote, word for word

4.9 out of 5 across 11 public reviews. Quoted as they were left, shortened only by dropping whole sentences.

  • 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

RedTrack vs LeadJourney, your questions answered

The questions media buyers and marketing teams ask before switching, answered the way we answer them on calls.

What is the actual difference between RedTrack and LeadJourney?

Both track server-side, both take postbacks and both send conversions back to Meta and Google. RedTrack is an ad tracker first: its depth is in traffic source templates, cost sync speed and the affiliate plumbing. LeadJourney is the all-in-one attribution platform: it tracks the same clicks and postbacks, 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, and Atlas answers questions in plain language. It hosts in Frankfurt and prices in euros, by spend rather than by events.

Can affiliates use LeadJourney, or is it built for advertisers only?

Affiliates are one of the three account types, beside advertisers and agencies, with plans of their own 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. Faster cost sync (30, 15 or 5 minutes) is a flat add-on. What LeadJourney does not do is traffic distribution: no rotators, no auto-routing between landers.

How does the pricing compare?

Both publish their prices. RedTrack's affiliate plans run from $69 a month for 2 million tracked events to $833 for 75 million, at annual billing rates, with faster cost sync and the Ads Manager as add-ons priced by your ad spend. LeadJourney's affiliate plans run from €129 a month, metered on paid spend and unique visitors only, with offers, sources and networks 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.

We run lead gen campaigns and a CRM. Which tool fits?

That is the case LeadJourney is built around. The click is only the start of the conversion: the lead qualifies, books a call and closes weeks later, and each of those stages is a conversion LeadJourney tracks, attributes and sends back to the ad platforms, and a phone call lands on its click through the call tracking add-on. RedTrack records the conversion event a postback reports; what happens in the CRM afterwards is outside the tool. If your revenue lives in HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce or Close, the platform that reads those stages natively is the one that gives you cost per closed deal without workarounds.

We sell through a Shopify store on RedTrack's e-commerce plans. Does LeadJourney cover that?

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. RedTrack's e-commerce plans are priced by tracked revenue; 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.

Does LeadJourney have an AI copilot like RedTrack?

Yes. Atlas answers questions about your campaigns, leads and revenue in plain language, from the second plan up, and Atlas agents watch the data on their own and send daily or weekly reports to email, Slack or WhatsApp. Both tools also expose an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or your own agents can query the data directly. The difference is what the analyst can see: in LeadJourney that includes CRM stages, closed revenue and AI search sources.

Can we migrate from RedTrack to LeadJourney?

Yes. Setup takes about 21 minutes: add the script next to the RedTrack one, connect the ad accounts and networks, and repoint the postbacks. Most buyers run both trackers in parallel for a week or two and compare the numbers before switching RedTrack off. Historic campaign data and spend are imported from your ad platforms during setup.
