Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AnyTrack

  • The free plan covers 5,000 sessions a month, one website, one ad platform and one conversion source
  • Metered on tracked sessions, so a traffic spike raises the bill regardless of conversions
  • The jump from free to Starter is $100 a month
  • Overage runs at $0.40 per 1,000 sessions, falling to $0.20 at volume
  • Website counts are capped by tier, at 3 on Personal and 10 on Advance

ReferralCandy

  • Limited transparency on pricing tiers without account registration
  • Primary focus on Shopify integration limits effectiveness for non-Shopify platforms
  • Email CC/BCC limitations for looping in stakeholders
