Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Fathom Analytics
- There is no free tier, only a 7 day trial
- Priced on pageviews, from $45 a month at the 500,000 pageview level
- Custom events count against the pageview allowance rather than being tracked separately
- Site allowances come in packs, with additional 50-site packs at $10 a month
- Data is retained forever only while the subscription is active
Invoca
- Entry pricing commonly starts around 1,500 US dollars a month before call minutes, plus a setup and training fee, which prices out agencies and small businesses that only need attribution for a few hundred calls.
- Telephony minutes and tracking numbers are metered separately from the platform fee, so a seasonal advertising spike produces an invoice nobody forecast.
- Signal AI, PreSense and quality management are frequently sold as add-on modules rather than included, meaning the demo you were shown may cost noticeably more than the quote you were given.
- Contracts are annual or multi-year with usage minimums and no month-to-month option, so a campaign strategy that shifts away from phone calls leaves you paying for capacity you no longer use.
- The product is deep on inbound phone attribution and shallow elsewhere; if your buying journey also involves chat, forms and in-store visits, Invoca covers only one channel and you still need a separate attribution model for the rest.
