A self-hosted click tracker against long-funnel attribution
Binom vs Hyros
By Dana Rourke, Lead reviewer. Reviewed by Campaign Buyer Editorial. Updated 23 September 2026.
Quick answer
Pick Binom if you run high-volume, direct-response paid traffic, want click-level tracking you host yourself at a flat price that never scales with clicks, and have someone who can run a server; pick Hyros if your sale closes after a call, a webinar or a long email sequence and you need server-side attribution that follows that journey across your CRM and payment processor.

If you are down to Binom and Hyros, the first thing to say is that these two rarely measure the same funnel. Both promise numbers you can trust more than platform-reported ROAS, but they are built for two different businesses. Binom is a self-hosted click tracker for the buyer pushing serious volume through direct-response offers. Hyros is a server-side attribution platform for the long, high-ticket funnel that closes on a call or a webinar. The reader stuck between them is really deciding what kind of funnel they run, not which brand is better made.
Binom stamps every click, catches the conversion server-side, fires postbacks to your networks, and tells you which source, lander and offer made money, all on your own server at a flat price. Hyros stitches a buyer's journey server-side across your website, your CRM, your email tool and your payment processor, so a sale that happens three touchpoints after the click still traces back to the ad that started it. One follows clicks at high volume and hands you the raw truth cheaply. The other follows a person through a funnel that does not end at a cart.
The two questions that decide it
Answer these before you compare a single feature. First: where does your sale actually close? If it closes fast, in one session or a short window on a lander and an offer, your problem is tracking clicks accurately and cheaply at volume, and that is Binom's problem to solve. If it closes after a lead opt-in, an email sequence, a sales call or a webinar, standard pixels lose the thread long before the money changes hands, and stitching that journey is exactly what Hyros is for.
Second: are you willing to run your own server? Binom is self-hosted. You install it, you own uptime, updates and scaling, and in return the price never moves with your traffic. Hyros is a managed platform you never touch the infrastructure of, priced on a quote. Put a high-volume pop or push campaign into Hyros and most of its journey-stitching machinery goes unused while you pay for it. Put a long, call-based funnel into Binom and it can track the click but not the human close weeks later. If you know which of those two sentences describes your business, you already know which tool this is.
Binom: flat, uncapped and self-hosted for volume
Binom is the tracker for buyers who have run the numbers on event-based pricing and did not like the answer. It is self-hosted, so it runs on your server, your data never leaves your own infrastructure, and the price is flat at $149 a month, or $104 billed yearly, with no cap on traffic volume. A pop, push or native affiliate doing hundreds of millions of clicks a month pays the same as one doing a few million. For that buyer, the economics are decisive, and it is why this site ranks Binom third among trackers for high-volume self-hosting.
Speed is the other reason it wins its segment. Redirect and reporting performance at extreme volume is exactly where cloud trackers either choke or bill you into the next tier, and Binom was built for that load. It handles the raw click counts that would run a metered plan into overage every month.
The cost is operational rather than financial. You install it, you keep it updated, and you own uptime and scaling. Onboarding assumes you already understand postbacks and tokens, so it is not a hand-holding product. And it is a click tracker, not a journey engine: it tells you which click and offer converted, not which ad seeded a sale that a rep closed on the phone a month later. If you are not comfortable in a server, that time is not free. We do not earn a commission on Binom, so there is no affiliate button on this page for it; the recommendation stands on its own.
Hyros: attribution for the long funnel
Hyros targets the funnel that does not end at a checkout. If your sale happens after an opt-in, an email sequence, a sales call or a webinar, standard pixels lose the thread. Hyros tracks server-side and stitches the journey across payment processors and CRMs, which is why info-product sellers, coaches and high-ticket advertisers credit it with finding revenue Meta and Google never attributed. For a media buyer pouring spend into a funnel whose payoff is weeks and several touchpoints away, that is the whole reason to run it, and it is a job Binom's click-level tracking cannot do.
Two honest cautions. Pricing on the main site is quote-driven and opaque, so you talk to sales rather than read a number, and buyers put the honest threshold around $50k a month in spend with genuinely complex funnels before it earns its keep. Below that, the machinery is wasted and a cheaper tool does the job. And like every tool in this category, Hyros is an attribution model, not the truth. It will diverge from platform reporting, and it is not a cure for post-iOS tracking loss. Use it to make better allocation calls on a long funnel, not to win an argument about whose number is right.
Where the pricing diverges
The two do not price the same way, and that itself tells you who each is for. Binom publishes a flat number: $149 a month, or $104 billed yearly, and it does not move no matter how many clicks you push, because your server absorbs the growth instead of your invoice. Hyros does not publish a number at all. It is a sales quote you negotiate, usually from a few hundred a month up depending on your spend and funnel complexity, so you cannot comparison-shop it from a pricing page.
Read both on your real situation, not the sticker. Binom's flat fee is a bargain at high, impression-heavy volume and simply the cost of a tracker at low volume, on top of the server you rent to run it. Hyros's quote scales with the value of the attribution to a high-ticket funnel, where recovering a handful of misattributed high-ticket sales pays for the tool many times over. Get Hyros's number in writing before you commit, and price Binom against the monthly cost of the box you will host it on.
A third path if you host the funnel yourself
There is a third answer worth naming, because neither of these tools builds or hosts the funnel it measures. Binom tracks clicks to landers and offers hosted elsewhere, and Hyros follows a journey across tools that live somewhere else. ElasticFunnels owns that middle instead. It is a funnel platform for teams running paid traffic that builds the pages, hosts the checkout, and keeps its ad-spend and conversion reporting on the same data layer as the pages, the CRM and the sale. Because a sale closes in a checkout it hosts, that conversion is a deterministic first-party event it records directly, and for a long funnel it keeps a CRM, automations and a call center on that same timeline, which is the kind of call-and-CRM journey Hyros is hired to reconstruct after the fact. It fires server-side postbacks to your networks on purchase, refund, chargeback and renewal from its own checkout, which is the postback job Binom does for click traffic, and it starts with a 14-day free trial that takes no card, on plans from $97 a month, plus 0.5% of revenue processed through its hosted checkout.
Two honest limits keep it on its own line rather than in the head-to-head. ElasticFunnels is newer than either tool here, and there is very little independent third-party review coverage to check its claims against, so until you run real volume through it you are largely taking the vendor's word for how its attribution holds up. Both Binom and Hyros have years of public setups and threads behind them to check against. And its reporting covers the funnels it hosts, so a high-volume affiliate tracking clicks across offers on other people's domains still needs a dedicated tracker like Binom for that part, and a seller whose journey closes across tools ElasticFunnels does not host still needs a stitching platform like Hyros. It is an option for the seller who runs their own funnel and checkout end to end, not a replacement for either.
Which one for you
You run high-volume, direct-response paid traffic and can host a server: Binom. Flat, uncapped pricing and speed at extreme load are exactly what metered cloud billing punishes, click-level tracking on your own infrastructure keeps the data yours, and $149 a month, or $104 yearly, is a fair price for that job. Budget the server and someone comfortable maintaining it.
Your sale closes on a call, a webinar or a long email sequence: Hyros. Server-side tracking that stitches the journey across your CRM and payment processor is the only one of the two that can follow that sale, and it earns its quote once your spend and funnel complexity are real, roughly $50k a month and up.
You host your own funnel and checkout end to end: look at ElasticFunnels alongside them, with the newness caveat above in mind, and keep Binom for any click traffic that closes off your own domains.
Binom takes our default pick here, not because it out-attributes Hyros on a long funnel, but because more readers who reach this comparison run the high-volume, direct-response paid traffic Binom is built for than the high-ticket call funnel Hyros requires. That is a statement about who is reading this site, not about which product is better built. On its own turf, a funnel that closes after a call or a webinar, Hyros is plainly the better fit, and we rank it fourth in our ecommerce attribution ranking for exactly that buyer, while Binom sits third in our ad tracker ranking for the volume affiliate.
