RedTrack, from $69/mo, billed annually. ClickMagick, from $79/mo, 10K visitors. ### Side by side | | RedTrack | ClickMagick | | ------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------ | | What it is | Server-side ad tracker | First-party CAPI tracker | | Best for | Affiliate and ecom buyers | Solo own-traffic buyers | | Automatic cost sync | Built in, pulls spend | Not native | | How you optimize | Campaign reports | Daily decision email | | Priced by | Events | Tracked visitors | | Entry price | $69/mo, billed annually | $79/mo, 10K visitors | | Outside proof | Moderate | Thin, disputed | If you are down to RedTrack and ClickMagick, you have narrowed the field to two cloud trackers that both stamp a click, catch the conversion server-side, and feed it back to the ad platform through its conversion API. Neither asks you to run a server. Both promise cleaner data than the pixel gives you. So the choice is not really about who tracks more accurately. It is about who each one was built for, and whether that is you. RedTrack is the broad media-buyer's tracker. ClickMagick is the solo advertiser's. That is the whole fork, and everything below is a way of testing which side you land on. #### What RedTrack is built to do RedTrack is a server-side conversion tracker that assumes you buy paid media and that the browser pixel is losing your conversions. It sends conversions back to Meta, TikTok and Google through CAPI, and it pulls your ad spend from those platforms automatically, so the dashboard shows tracked profit rather than a figure you assemble by hand from four exports. One account covers affiliate offers, lead-gen forms and ecommerce checkouts, so a buyer who runs more than one kind of campaign is not paying for three tools. The automatic cost sync is the quiet reason it wins for a lot of buyers. If you are running several sources at once, having spend reconciled against conversions inside the tracker, with no add-on, is worth more than any single reporting feature. Priced from $69 a month on annual billing for two million events, it undercuts most of the cloud trackers it competes with for the same job. Our [RedTrack review](/reviews/redtrack) and [RedTrack against Voluum](/compare/redtrack-vs-voluum) go deeper on where it sits in the tracker field. The costs are real. The setup rewards patience: first-time users spend genuine time wiring postbacks and mapping conversions, and a botched setup is behind most accuracy complaints against any tracker, this one included. The interface is dense and looks dated next to newer dashboards. And because you are billed by events, a traffic spike can push you into the next tier mid-month, which is a different failure mode from a flat bill. #### What ClickMagick is built to do ClickMagick has tracked links since 2014 and now bills itself as an attribution platform it calls TrueTracking. The pitch is narrower than the marketing suggests, and that is a compliment. It fits an affiliate, a solo advertiser, or someone selling their own info-product, running paid traffic on their own Meta, Google or YouTube ad accounts. First-party tracking on a custom domain plus CAPI feeds cleaner conversions back so the platform's AI stops optimizing toward the wrong people. Its [full review](/reviews/clickmagick) covers the setup in detail. Two things set it apart for that buyer. The first is Morning Magick, a daily email that reads your stats overnight and names what to scale, pause or fix. For a solo buyer with no analyst, a decision handed to you at breakfast beats a dashboard you have to interrogate. The second is support, which is the most-praised part of the product in public reviews: fast replies, often the same day, sometimes with a screen recording attached. Pricing is flat and based on the visitors you track, not a cut of your revenue, so the bill does not climb every time a campaign wins. The honest limits are two. Independent proof is thin: there is no meaningful G2 or Capterra presence, and ClickMagick stopped maintaining its Trustpilot page after disputing a batch of reviews, so you lean on the vendor's own case studies more than you would like. And the Starter plan tracks just 10,000 visitors for $79, so anyone buying real volume is moved to the $199 Standard tier quickly. It is also a decision layer, not the truth: the numbers still want reconciling against the ad network, GA4 and your backend before you move budget. #### How they actually differ Strip away the shared CAPI story and three differences decide it. **Cost sync.** RedTrack pulls your ad spend from the platforms automatically and computes ROI for you. ClickMagick does not do this natively. If you want conversions and true cost reconciled in one place without another subscription, that is a clear point for RedTrack, and it matters more the more sources you run. **Traffic coverage.** RedTrack tracks any offer on any domain across affiliate, lead-gen and ecommerce, so it fits a buyer with a mixed book. ClickMagick is at its best on your own ad accounts, sending clicks to your own pages and offers. Push it toward a sprawling multi-network affiliate setup and you are working against its grain. **How you read the data.** RedTrack gives you campaign tables and reports and expects you to work them. ClickMagick hands you a morning email with a verdict. Neither is better in the abstract; it depends on whether you want the raw report or the recommendation. If you compare ClickMagick with the funnel-tracking crowd, our [FunnelFlux against ClickMagick](/compare/funnelflux-vs-clickmagick) piece draws that line too. #### A third path, if you also build and host the funnel Both of these track traffic to pages that live somewhere else. They do not build your landing pages and they do not host your checkout. If you are also deciding where the pages and the checkout will live, a funnel platform is a different answer to a bigger question, and [ElasticFunnels](/reviews/elasticfunnels) belongs in the conversation on the same footing as the two trackers. ElasticFunnels is a funnel platform for teams running paid traffic: it builds the pages, split-tests variants under one URL, hosts the checkout with order bumps and upsells, and keeps sessions, orders, rebills and refunds on one timeline with a CRM and attribution on the same data. The tracking angle follows from that. Because the checkout is hosted on the same record as the click, a purchase is a deterministic first-party event without a separate tracker bolted on, and the platform fires affiliate postbacks and reports ad spend against conversions itself. It starts at $97 a month with a 14-day trial that needs no card, and it charges 0.5% only on revenue processed through its own hosted checkout. The honest caveat: ElasticFunnels is newer than RedTrack and ClickMagick, 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 it, which is what you would expect of a platform this young and is why the no-card trial matters for testing it first. And this only helps if you want to move the pages and checkout too. If your pages already live somewhere you are happy with and you just need to track the traffic to them, RedTrack or ClickMagick is the answer, not a platform switch. #### Which one for you Pick RedTrack if you buy across several sources or run ecommerce, want CAPI conversions and automatic ad-spend sync from one account, and are willing to spend a day on setup to get profit computed for you. It is our overall pick on the [ad tracker ranking](/best) for that reader. Pick ClickMagick if you are a solo advertiser, affiliate or info-product seller running your own Meta, Google or YouTube traffic, you want a flat predictable bill, and a morning email that tells you what to do is worth more to you than a room full of reports. On its own turf, for that buyer, it is the better tool, and no amount of RedTrack's breadth changes that. Pick ElasticFunnels if the real question underneath is where your pages and checkout should live, and you would rather have the funnel and the tracking on one data layer than wire a tracker onto a stack you are still assembling. ### RedTrack ##### What works * CAPI and server-side postbacks are built in, so conversions reach Meta and TikTok even after the pixel drops them * Pulls ad spend from the platforms automatically, so ROI is calculated for you * Mid-market pricing: 2M events at $69/mo on annual billing undercuts Voluum for the same job * Handles affiliate, lead-gen and ecommerce tracking from one account ##### What to watch * The setup rewards patience. First-time users spend real time wiring postbacks and mapping conversions * The interface is dense and looks dated next to newer dashboards * Event-based pricing means a traffic spike can push you into the next tier mid-month ### ClickMagick ##### What works * Flat monthly price based on the visitors you track, not a cut of your revenue, so the bill does not climb every time a campaign wins. * First-party TrueTracking with a custom domain and CAPI feeds cleaner conversion data back to Meta, Google and YouTube, which users credit for better ad optimization. * The Morning Magick email reads your stats each morning and names what to scale, pause or fix, which suits a solo buyer with no analyst. * Support is the most-praised part in public reviews: fast replies, often the same day, sometimes with screen recordings. ##### What to watch * The Starter plan tracks just 10,000 visitors for $79, so anyone buying real volume is pushed to the $199 Standard tier fast. * Independent proof is thin. There is no meaningful G2 or Capterra presence, and ClickMagick stopped maintaining its Trustpilot page after disputing fake reviews, so you lean on the vendor's own case studies more than you would like. * It is a decision layer, not the truth. The numbers still need reconciling against the ad network, GA4 and your backend before you move budget. * Setup rewards patience. Postbacks, cross-domain tracking and CAPI all need wiring, and a botched setup is behind most of the accuracy complaints. ### Pricing RedTrack: from $69/mo, billed annually. Builder plan $69/mo.

Pick RedTrack if you buy across several sources or run ecommerce and want server-side CAPI conversions plus automatic ad-spend sync from one account priced by events; pick ClickMagick if you run your own Meta, Google or YouTube traffic as a solo advertiser or affiliate and want a flat bill, first-party tracking and a morning email that tells you what to scale or cut. Which is cheaper, RedTrack or ClickMagick? RedTrack starts at $69/mo, billed annually and ClickMagick at $79/mo, 10K visitors. RedTrack's $69 Builder plan bills annually and counts events, meaning every impression, visit, click and conversion, with 2 million included and cost sync built in. ClickMagick's $79 Starter counts tracked visitors and tops out at 10,000 before the $199 Standard tier, plus $40 a month per extra site. The units are different, so price both on your real monthly traffic, not the entry number. Do RedTrack and ClickMagick both send conversions back to Meta and Google? Yes, both feed conversions back through CAPI, which is the point of buying either one now that browser pixels leak. The difference is around it: RedTrack also pulls your ad spend from the platforms automatically and computes ROI, while ClickMagick focuses on first-party tracking of your own ad traffic plus a daily email that tells you what to scale or cut. If you want conversions and true cost reconciled in one place, that favors RedTrack. Which is better for an affiliate running several traffic sources? RedTrack, in most cases. It tracks any offer on any domain across affiliate, lead-gen and ecommerce from one account, and its automatic cost sync matters more the more sources you run. ClickMagick is at its best on your own ad accounts sending clicks to your own pages, so a sprawling multi-network setup works against its grain. Does ClickMagick have anything RedTrack does not? Morning Magick, its daily email that reads your stats overnight and names what to scale, pause or fix, has no direct equivalent in RedTrack, and for a solo buyer with no analyst that recommendation can be the deciding feature. ClickMagick's support is also the most-praised part of the product in public reviews. RedTrack gives you the raw reports and expects you to work them. Can I trust the independent reviews for each one? RedTrack has moderate public review coverage. ClickMagick's is thin: no meaningful G2 or Capterra presence, and the vendor stopped maintaining its Trustpilot page after disputing a batch of reviews, so you lean on its own case studies more than you would like. Neither is a red flag on its own, but it is a reason to test on your own traffic before committing budget. ### Sources #### Other sources 2 discussions and reviews read for this page.
