Where each one falls short

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

ClickMagick

  • The entry Starter plan is $79 a month and tracks 10,000 visitors
  • Additional sites or stores are $40 a month each and are not available on Starter at all
  • Visitor allowances jump by a factor of ten between tiers, at 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000, so a site between two tiers pays for the higher one
  • No overage rate is published, so exceeding an allowance has no stated cost
  • The lower advertised rates require paying a year up front

Viral Loops

  • Pricing is relatively high for small startups and bootstrapped businesses ($35/mo minimum)
  • Advanced features are only available on higher-tier plans, limiting smaller businesses
  • Limited customization without technical development for highly branded campaigns
  • Customer support response times may vary by region and time zone
