It never affects our rankings. ### Quick answer Pick Keitaro if you buy paid traffic at real volume, want deep routing across 35+ parameters with CAPI and cost sync on every plan, and will run a Linux server to own your data and a flat license that does not climb with your clicks; pick AnyTrack if you run a Shopify store or your own site and mainly need conversions fed back to Meta, Google and TikTok through their conversion APIs without wiring server-side tracking or running a server yourself. Keitaro is the broader campaign tracker, and it shows which source, lander and offer actually made money. AnyTrack is the no-code conversion feeder, and it earns its place when that feed is the whole job, because it has no automatic ad-spend sync, thin independent reviews, and a session bill that overages on its own. Keitaro, from €40/mo, self-hosted license. AnyTrack, from $100/mo, or free. ### Side by side | | Keitaro | AnyTrack | | ------------------------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | What it is | Self-hosted tracker and router | No-code conversion feeder | | Setup | You install and run the server | Drop in a tag, no server | | Tracks | Clicks, sources, landers, offers | Conversions on your own site | | Traffic routing | 35+ parameters, deep | None, not a router | | Sends conversions to | Networks and ad platforms | Six ad platforms, by CAPI | | Profit and ROI by source | Yes, cost sync every plan | No automatic ad-spend sync | | Pricing model | Flat license, no click cap | By sessions, automatic overage | | Free way in | No trial, buy a license | Free plan, but no CAPI | | Data location | Your own server | AnyTrack cloud | | Outside proof | Established, 4,000+ users | Thin: two G2, Trustpilot 3.4 | If your shortlist has come down to Keitaro and AnyTrack, you are weighing two tools built for two different jobs, and the hard part is that they barely overlap. Keitaro is a self-hosted campaign tracker and routing engine for the buyer pushing serious volume to offers. AnyTrack is a no-code conversion feeder for the person running their own site or store who wants sales sent back to the ad platforms. The reader stuck between them is really deciding which of those two problems is theirs. Once that is clear, the tool picks itself. Keitaro runs on your own server. You install it, you point your tracking domain at it, and every click, redirect and conversion is recorded on infrastructure you control. Nothing about your data passes through a vendor's cloud, and the price does not move with your traffic: it is a flat monthly license, so a buyer doing hundreds of millions of clicks a month pays what a buyer doing a few million pays. Its maker, Apliteni, has shipped it for years and says more than 4,000 businesses run it. The full [Keitaro review](/reviews/keitaro) covers where that model pays off and where it costs you. AnyTrack comes at conversions from the opposite end. It sits on your site as a no-code tag, watches every click, lead and sale, and sends those conversions back to six ad platforms server-side through each platform's conversion API. You do not stand up a server-side Google Tag Manager container or write postback logic yourself. It also covers 90-plus affiliate networks, ecommerce platforms and CRMs out of the box, so a store owner can wire clean data into Meta and Google without a developer. The [AnyTrack review](/reviews/anytrack) covers how well that holds up, and where the complaints cluster. ### Who each one is really for Keitaro suits the affiliate or media buyer running offers at volume, especially on pop, push and native, whose edge is expressing the exact rule that sends the right visitor to the right page. Its filtering engine splits visitors to different landers and offers across geo, device, OS, browser, connection and source ID, over 35+ tracking parameters, deeper than a cloud tracker built around a single ad account exposes. It fires server-side postbacks, sends conversions back to Meta, Google and TikTok through their APIs, and pulls ad spend in for real cost and ROI, all on every plan rather than gating cost sync behind an add-on. The trade is that you own the operations: the server, the updates, the uptime. AnyTrack suits a different operator. Someone running a Shopify store, a lead-gen site or their own offers, buying traffic on Meta, Google or TikTok, who mainly needs those conversions fed back into the ad accounts so the algorithms bid on real sales instead of a half-blocked pixel. If there is no data engineer on hand and no appetite to build server-side tracking, the no-code setup is the whole appeal. It is a feeder, not a campaign tracker, so it does not give you the click-level source-and-offer breakdown a media buyer optimizes on, and it does not route traffic at all. ### The dividing line is what happens after a conversion The cleanest way to decide is to look at what each tool does the moment it records a sale. Keitaro writes the conversion to your own database, fires postbacks to your affiliate networks, and pushes conversions back to the ad platforms too, which is what you want when you are optimizing across sources, landers and offers and some of those offers live on someone else's platform. AnyTrack pushes the conversion out to Meta, Google, TikTok and the rest through their conversion APIs, which is exactly what you want when you are the advertiser and the sale happens on your own site. One is built to help you read a campaign end to end. The other is built to feed the ad platform. That difference decides the profit question too. Because Keitaro holds your click and conversion data and syncs your cost in on every plan, it can show profit and return by source, which is the number a media buyer lives on. AnyTrack does not pull your ad spend in to compute return across sources the way a full tracker does, so on its own it will not tell you which campaign is actually making money. If reading profit by source is the point, the [best ad tracker ranking](/best) places both against the trackers a scaled buyer graduates to, and [Keitaro vs ClickMagick](/compare/keitaro-vs-clickmagick) covers the self-hosted-against-cloud split if that is closer to your real question. ### Where the money actually goes The two do not count the same unit, so the sticker prices do not compare directly. Keitaro is a flat license in euros: €40 a month for Individual Starter, €72 for Advanced and €104 for Expert, then €200 and €400 for its Business tiers, with six- and twelve-month terms taking 10% and 20% off, and CAPI and cost sync on all of them. There is no cap on clicks, but there is a server you rent, patch and keep online, and that cost never shows on the invoice. The economics tip in Keitaro's favour precisely when your click count is large, because nothing about the license moves when your traffic does. AnyTrack bills by sessions. The free plan is capped at 5,000 and sends nothing through the conversion API, so the tier most people actually need starts at $100 a month for 100,000 sessions, then $150 for 500,000 and $300 for three million. Watch the overage: once you pass your cap it bills automatically, from $0.40 down to $0.20 per 1,000 sessions, and you cannot switch that off on a paid plan. Count your real monthly sessions rather than your budget, and size the plan above your peak so a spike or a bot wave does not surprise you. ### The catch on each Keitaro's cost is operational, not financial. It is self-hosted only, with no cloud version, so you rent and maintain a Linux VPS, CentOS 9 or 10 Stream with 4GB of RAM as the floor, and keeping it fast, patched and online is your job. There is no free trial: you buy a license, with a public live demo and a refund policy as the only way to look first. And when tracking breaks, resolution can be slow. The sharpest critical review reports 502 errors on server-side conversion tracking and inaccurate cost attribution, with support acknowledging the problem but giving no timeline for a fix, which for a media buyer means daily lost optimization while it is open. Live chat also runs business hours, roughly 06:00 to 16:00 GMT on weekdays, so an overnight break in your timezone waits for the next window. We earn no commission on Keitaro, so there is no affiliate button on this page for it, and the recommendation stands on its own. AnyTrack's catch is proof and support. Unanswered tickets and trial-cancellation disputes recur across Trustpilot and PPC threads, and the outside record is thin: two reviews on G2 and 3.4 out of 5 from eleven reviews on Trustpilot make it hard to sanity-check against the crowd. Test the support inside the 14-day trial, which takes no card, before you commit a budget. [CPV Lab Pro vs AnyTrack](/compare/cpvlab-pro-vs-anytrack) covers another self-hosted tracker against the same feeder if the server is the part of Keitaro you are trying to avoid. ### A third path if you host the funnel yourself Both tools here measure traffic to pages and checkouts that live somewhere else. Keitaro stamps a click, routes it to a lander and an offer, then catches the conversion as a postback after the fact; AnyTrack watches a sale on your site and feeds it to the ad platforms. There is a different way to close the same gap, worth naming because it changes where the data lives. [ElasticFunnels](/reviews/elasticfunnels) is a funnel platform for teams running paid traffic that builds the pages and hosts the checkout itself, and keeps its ad-spend and conversion reporting on the same data layer as those pages, the CRM and the sale. Because the sale closes in a checkout it hosts, that conversion is a first-party event it records directly rather than a click it has to match later, and it fires affiliate postbacks to your networks on purchase, refund, chargeback and renewal. It also split-tests page variants under one campaign URL, so a test never resets the ad platform's learning. Its 14-day trial takes no card, plans start at $97 a month, and it charges 0.5% only on revenue that runs through a checkout it hosts, nothing on sales you run through outside networks. The honest limit that keeps it on its own line rather than in the table above: 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 reporting and postbacks hold up. That is what you would expect of a platform this recent, where Keitaro has more than 4,000 businesses and a long, if mixed, support record you can read before you buy. And its reporting covers the funnels it hosts: a volume affiliate tracking clicks across offers on other people's domains still needs a dedicated router like Keitaro for that traffic, and a store owner sending paid traffic to a Shopify checkout ElasticFunnels does not host still needs a feeder like AnyTrack for those conversions. It is an option for the seller who runs their own pages and checkout end to end, not a replacement for either tool. If your pages already live elsewhere and you only need tracking on top, Keitaro or AnyTrack is the smaller, cheaper answer, and this comparison is the one that matters. ### Which one for you Three quick reads: * **High-volume affiliate or media buyer who wants flat pricing, deep routing and owns the operations:** Keitaro. Self-hosted, uncapped, deep across 35+ parameters, with CAPI and cost sync on every plan and the source-and-offer breakdown you optimize on, if you can run the server. * **Store or own-site owner who needs clean conversions in the ad accounts:** AnyTrack. The no-code CAPI feed is its whole reason to exist, and it works if you accept the thin outside proof and watch the session bill. For this buyer, Keitaro would be a server to run for a job AnyTrack does with a tag. * **Still choosing where the pages and checkout live:** look at ElasticFunnels before you bolt a tracker onto a stack you have not built yet, with the newness caveat above in mind. Keitaro takes our default pick here, not because it feeds a store's ad accounts a cleaner signal than AnyTrack does, but because more readers who reach this site buy media at real scale, and at that size Keitaro's flat uncapped license, its routing depth and the data you keep on your own server beat a feeder that cannot show profit by source and a bill that overages on its own. That is a statement about who is reading, not a verdict that AnyTrack is poorly made. For the store or own-site owner who will never touch a server and only needs conversions back in the ad accounts, AnyTrack is plainly the better fit. We rank Keitaro sixth and AnyTrack eighth in [our ad tracker ranking](/best). If you want to weigh Keitaro against another self-hosted rival, our [Binom vs Keitaro](/compare/binom-vs-keitaro) page runs that fork, and every [head-to-head](/compare) places both against the wider field. ### Keitaro ##### What works * Self-hosted, so your click data lives on hardware you control and nothing meters your events. The license is flat, not a bill that climbs with clicks, which is the whole reason high-volume pop, push and native buyers pick it over event-priced cloud trackers like Voluum and RedTrack. * Deep traffic routing and filtering. It splits visitors to different landing pages and offers by GEO, device, OS, browser, connection and source ID, across 35+ tracking parameters, so one tool handles the tracker, the routing and lander rotation. * Server-side postbacks and conversion sync on every individual plan. It fires S2S postbacks and sends conversions back to Meta, Google and TikTok through their APIs, and pulls ad spend in so reports show real cost and ROI, not clicks alone. * Support and price are what long-term users praise most. Across Trustpilot the repeated note from people running it for one to several years is fast, knowledgeable help and a low price relative to cloud trackers. * A built-in landing page editor, custom domains with SSL, and bot filtering, so there are fewer separate tools sitting between your tracker, your lander and your offer. ##### What to watch * Self-hosted only, and that is the real cost and the real risk. You rent a clean Linux VPS (CentOS 9 or 10 Stream, 4GB RAM minimum), and keeping it fast, patched and online is your job, not the vendor's. There is no cloud version, so if server operations are not your thing, a managed tracker like RedTrack or Voluum fits better. * No free trial. To try it properly you buy a license, though there is a public live demo and a refund policy. That is more commitment up front than the card-free trials most cloud trackers offer. * When tracking breaks, resolution can be slow. The sharpest critical review reports 502 errors on server-side conversion tracking and inaccurate cost attribution, with support acknowledging the problem but giving no timeline for a fix, which for a media buyer means daily lost optimization while it is open. * A real learning curve. DNS, SSL, Cloudflare settings, server load, PHP-FPM tuning and postback debugging are all on you, and reviewers who like the tool still say the number of settings and reports can overwhelm a beginner. * Live chat runs business hours, not around the clock. Support is online roughly 06:00 to 16:00 GMT on weekdays, so a launch that breaks overnight in your timezone waits until the next window. ### AnyTrack ##### What works * No-code setup. You connect the tag and your ad accounts from a dashboard instead of standing up a server-side Google Tag Manager container. * Server-side and client-side tracking run together, so a blocked pixel or an iOS restriction does not silently drop the conversion. * Feeds conversions back to six ad platforms through the Conversion API, and covers 90+ affiliate networks, ecommerce platforms and CRMs out of the box. * A real free plan and a 14-day trial with no credit card, so you can prove the tracking before you pay. ##### What to watch * Support and billing draw the most complaints. Unanswered tickets and trial-cancellation disputes recur across Trustpilot and PPC threads, so test support inside the trial. * Thin independent proof. Two reviews on G2 and 3.4 out of 5 from eleven reviews on Trustpilot make it hard to sanity-check against the crowd. * Session-based pricing with automatic overage. A traffic spike pushes you past your cap and bills $0.40 to $0.20 per 1,000 sessions, and you cannot switch it off on a paid plan. * No automatic ad-spend sync. Unlike RedTrack or Voluum it does not pull your cost in to compute ROI across sources, so it is a conversion feeder, not a full media tracker. ### Pricing Keitaro: from €40/mo, self-hosted license.

Our pick ### Keitaro Keitaro is real, and it is one of the most established self-hosted trackers media buyers run: its maker Apliteni has shipped it for years and says more than 4,000 businesses use it. If you buy paid traffic at volume, want to own your data, and are comfortable running a Linux server, you are unlikely to regret it. The catch is the model. It is self-hosted only, so you rent and maintain your own VPS; there is no free trial, you buy a license; and when server-side tracking breaks, the loudest complaint is that support can be slow to resolve it. Use the live demo and one small campaign to prove it before you commit. ### Frequently asked questions Keitaro or AnyTrack: which should I use? Pick Keitaro if you buy paid traffic at real volume, want deep routing across 35+ parameters with CAPI and cost sync on every plan, and will run a Linux server to own your data and a flat license that does not climb with your clicks; pick AnyTrack if you run a Shopify store or your own site and mainly need conversions fed back to Meta, Google and TikTok through their conversion APIs without wiring server-side tracking or running a server yourself. Keitaro is the broader campaign tracker, and it shows which source, lander and offer actually made money. AnyTrack is the no-code conversion feeder, and it earns its place when that feed is the whole job, because it has no automatic ad-spend sync, thin independent reviews, and a session bill that overages on its own. Which is cheaper, Keitaro or AnyTrack? Keitaro starts at €40/mo, self-hosted license and AnyTrack at $100/mo, or free. The two do not count the same unit. Keitaro is a flat license in euros with no cap on clicks, from €40 a month, and on top of it sits a Linux server you rent and keep online. AnyTrack bills by sessions: a free plan capped at 5,000 that sends nothing through the conversion API, then $100 a month for 100,000 sessions, $150 for 500,000 and $300 for three million, with overage billed automatically at $0.40 down to $0.20 per 1,000 sessions that you cannot switch off on a paid plan. Price both on your real monthly volume and your own server budget, not the entry number. Is Keitaro or AnyTrack better for a Shopify store? AnyTrack. It was built for the store or own-site owner who needs conversions fed back to the ad platforms without a developer, and it connects to Shopify out of the box with nothing to install. Keitaro is a campaign tracker and routing engine for buying traffic to offers, and it expects you to run a Linux server, which is more than most store owners want to take on. Does AnyTrack replace a campaign tracker like Keitaro? No. AnyTrack feeds conversions to your ad platforms through their conversion APIs, but it does not pull your ad spend in to show profit by source, and it does not route traffic to different landers and offers. Keitaro holds your click and conversion data, syncs cost on every plan, and splits visitors across 35+ parameters, so it answers which campaign actually made money. They solve different halves of the problem. Do I need my own server for Keitaro? Yes. Keitaro is self-hosted only, so it runs on a Linux VPS you provide and maintain, with CentOS 9 or 10 Stream and 4GB of RAM as the floor. That is what keeps the license flat and your data on your own machine, but it means you or someone on your team owns the setup, updates and uptime. AnyTrack is fully hosted, with nothing to install. ### Sources #### Other sources 5 discussions and reviews read for this page.
