LeadJourney vs Whatagraph

A report and the attribution under it are different layers

Whatagraph presents data that other tools produced; LeadJourney creates, attributes and explains it. The rows are the features our pricing page lists, so the table shows where the reporting layer stops and the attribution layer starts.

Credit where it is due

Whatagraph makes a better-looking client report than almost anything in the category, and it makes it fast: 68 sources, blends across accounts, white-label themes, a scheduled PDF. An agency whose clients read a report on impressions and rankings should keep it. The table is about the accounts where the client asks what the ad budget returned.

Pricing

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

Whatagraph prices by source credits on an annual contract, LeadJourney's agency plans by the spend you manage and the leads and sales you track. Both ladders below are the published tiers.

What the axis means for an agency

Source credits price the connectors; managed spend and tracked leads price the accounts. An agency managing €150,000 across twelve lead gen clients sits on LeadJourney's €999 Growth plan, everything included. On Whatagraph the same agency is at €699 on an annual contract, and the report still shows the numbers the platforms reported.

Why agencies switch

Why agencies put LeadJourney under the client report

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

Built for the agency, around the lead and the order

  • Client workspaces for agencies

    A workspace per client with its own tracking, reports and unlimited client seats, a cross-client overview on top, built for agencies that run lead generation for others.

  • Call tracking as an add-on

    Static numbers per campaign or dynamic number insertion per visitor, on every plan, billed per number plus usage, and CallRail or Podium if you already run one. Every call lands on the click that made the phone ring.

  • 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.

  • 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.

The numbers are tracked, not copied from the platforms

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Answers the client can act on, from day one

  • 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.

  • Custom report builder

    Build any report from raw data, pick the metrics, dimensions and layout, then save it as a live dashboard. No SQL required.

  • MCP connection, API and Zapier

    Ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor about your own data over MCP, pull it through the API or move it with the Zapier app. The export to BigQuery or Snowflake is on the roadmap.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Switching

From Whatagraph to LeadJourney in 21 minutes

Nothing to export by hand. Add the script, connect the accounts, and run both tools for a week or two until the numbers agree.

  1. 1About 5 minutes

    Add the LeadJourney script

    Paste one snippet into your site or your GTM container, alongside the tags that feed your Whatagraph sources today. 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 CRM

    Sign in to Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft Ads over OAuth, then connect the CRM where your deals live. Historic campaign data and spend are imported for you.

  3. 3About 6 minutes

    Ask for your first number

    The standard reports are there the moment data arrives: channels, campaigns, landing pages, conversion paths and the journey of every lead. For anything else, ask Atlas in plain language or build the report yourself from raw data, then save it as a dashboard.

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

Whatagraph vs LeadJourney, your questions answered

The questions agencies ask before choosing between a reporting tool and an attribution platform, answered the way we answer them on calls.

What is the actual difference between Whatagraph and LeadJourney?

Whatagraph is a reporting layer: it connects to 68 sources, blends and transforms what they report, and turns it into white-label reports and dashboards with a scheduled PDF. It does not collect data itself. LeadJourney is an all-in-one attribution platform: it tracks on the client's domain server-side, syncs spend from the ad platforms, follows the lead through the CRM stages to the closed deal, tracks the shop order through the Shopify integration or a manually connected shop, records calls with static and dynamic numbers as an add-on, attributes that revenue with every model including AI search as a source, sends stage changes back to Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft, and reports on it per client workspace with Atlas. Whatagraph presents the numbers; LeadJourney produces them.

We already use Whatagraph for client reports. Can the two run side by side?

Yes, and for a mixed roster that is often the right answer: keep Whatagraph for the SEO, social and brand accounts, where the report is the deliverable, and put LeadJourney under the accounts where the client asks what the ad budget returned: the lead gen clients, B2B and B2C, and the shops, which LeadJourney tracks through the Shopify integration or a manually connected shop for ROAS and customer origin. Today the API, the Zapier app or a webhook fills a Google Sheet, which Whatagraph reads as a source; the data warehouse export to BigQuery, which it reads too, is on the roadmap. There is no native Whatagraph connector for LeadJourney, so the join goes through one of those routes. What Whatagraph cannot do on its own is track the click on the client's domain, read the CRM stage and send the closed deal to the ad platforms.

How does the pricing compare?

Both publish their prices. Whatagraph's Max plan starts at €699 a month billed annually with 50 source credits, one per connected account, and Prime is on quote. LeadJourney's agency plans follow the spend you manage and the leads and sales you track: €399 a month up to €50,000 of managed spend and 1,000 leads and sales, €999 up to €250,000 and 7,500, €1,999 up to €750,000 and 20,000, and from €2,999 above that, monthly or yearly, with five to forty client workspaces included and €19 for each further one, after a 14-day trial without a card.

Whatagraph's reports look better than anything we could build. Does LeadJourney replace them?

Not the design, and it does not try to. Whatagraph's templates, themes and blends are the best reason to use it, and an agency that sells on the look of its monthly report should keep it. LeadJourney's client dashboards are branded, live and open to unlimited client logins, the standard reports fill on day one, the report builder covers the views a client insists on from Growth, and scheduled client emails go out on every plan. The difference is what the report can say: cost per closed deal and revenue per campaign, because LeadJourney tracked the lead and read the CRM, rather than cost per click.

Whatagraph connects HubSpot and Salesforce. Is that not CRM attribution?

It puts CRM figures in the same report as the ad figures, which is useful, but the two stay separate columns: the CRM source reports deals and the ad source reports clicks, and nothing joins a particular deal to the campaign that started it. LeadJourney records the click on the client's domain, matches the lead when the form is sent, follows it through the stages in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or the other connected CRMs, and attributes the closed revenue to the campaign, ad and keyword with every model. The result is written back into the CRM and sent to the ad platforms as an offline conversion.

How long does it take to set up a client?

About 21 minutes per client workspace: add the script to the client's site or GTM container, connect the ad accounts and the CRM, and the standard reports fill as data arrives. Historic campaign data and spend are imported during setup, so the channel and campaign reports are not empty on day one. Every agency plan includes an onboarding call with a tracking expert and 14 days of setup support, and the trial runs alongside Whatagraph so the numbers can be compared before anything is switched off.
