Cometly is attribution software that ties Meta Ads, Google Ads and LinkedIn spend to Stripe revenue and CRM pipeline, then sends paying-customer events back to those networks.

Its pricing page lists no price, only 2 tiers, Core and Enterprise, sized by monthly pageviews, and no free trial. We built TrackRev as SaaS affiliate software for indie hackers and small teams, with revenue attribution built in.

It costs $29 a month on Indie and ranks channels by the subscription revenue they bring in, partner links and newsletters included. It imports no ad spend and sends nothing back to Meta Ads or Google Ads.

We compared 7 tools, and every figure is as of October 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Cometly lists no price: Core and Enterprise are sized by monthly pageviews and quoted on a call, with no free trial. TrackRev lists $29 a month for Indie and $299 a year for Growth, with no limit on tracked revenue.
  • Cometly calls itself built for B2B SaaS, with Stripe by OAuth, 10 CRM integrations and paying-customer events sent to Meta Ads and Google Ads. TrackRev reads Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem and Dodo Payments and imports no ad spend.
  • A $450 a month tool, a stand-in since Cometly lists no rate, is 0.9% of a $50,000 ad budget and 22.5% of a $2,000 one, so price matters least to big spenders.
  • TrackRev's affiliate program pays partners from the same orders that feed the channel table, credited under last-touch, first-touch or linear rules (Cometly lists 8 models).

What does Cometly cost?

Cometly is revenue attribution software for B2B SaaS that publishes no price. We looked at Cometly's pricing page in October 2026: the page shows 2 plan cards and no number on either.

Both plans are sized to your monthly pageviews, which its FAQ counts as every page load the pixel or a server-side event records, estimated at 1.5 times your sessions: 20,000 sessions a month is about 30,000 pageviews.

Pass 90% of a tier and Cometly moves you up at the start of the next billing period.

PlanPriceSized byWhat it includes
CoreNot listedMonthly pageviewsPixel, server-side tracking, multi-touch attribution, dashboards, an AI agent, Conversion API, AI Ads Manager, 70+ integrations
EnterpriseNot listed, talk to salesHigher pageview and AI credit limitsCore plus CRM and warehouse sync, MCP, the Cometly API, Snowflake and BigQuery support, a dedicated solutions engineer

Cometly's published plans, October 2026.

Yearly billing takes 20% off. There is no free trial, because the FAQ says attribution needs CRM and ad-network setup first, and a setup specialist comes with onboarding.

The page's social-preview image description carries one figure, "starting at $150/seat/mo", that the plan cards never repeat. Treat the figure as a lead for the sales call and ask whether the rate is per seat, per pageview or both.

What does a $450 tool have to save?

A tool pays for itself when the waste it finds exceeds its price, so the price matters least to big spenders. The table uses a $450 stand-in, which is $150 a seat for 3 seats, against TrackRev's $29.

Monthly ad spend$450 tool, share of spend$29 plan, share of spend
$2,00022.5%1.45%
$5,0009%0.58%
$20,0002.25%0.15%
$50,0000.9%0.06%

The share of ad spend a tool must save to pay for itself. The $450 is a stand-in: $150 a seat for 3 seats.

Cometly's solutions menu says most teams cut CAC 20 to 40%, a vendor figure I can't check. If it holds, $450 repays itself many times over at $50,000 a month.

At $2,000 a month the tool must find $450 of waste, a 22.5% gain, and ranking channels with a cheaper tool makes more sense.

TrackRev Indie at $29 is 6.4% of that $450 stand-in (29 divided by 450), and Growth at $299 a year comes to about $24.92 a month.

What does Cometly do well?

Cometly's pixel is first-party and cookieless: the pixel identifies visitors from IP address, user agent, screen resolution and device traits, and stitches visits from 3 device types (phone, laptop and tablet) into one journey once the visitor identifies themselves by form fill, signup or login.

Stripe connects by OAuth with 8 triggers, from new payment and first payment to canceled subscription and refund. Its Stripe revenue attribution page says refunds and chargebacks reduce attributed revenue and cohort dashboards reach year-3 lifetime value.

How far does Cometly's ad side reach?

The ad side is where Cometly reaches furthest.

Cometly's Conversion API page lists server-side delivery to Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft and Reddit, so bidding can optimize for paying customers instead of trial starts, and it reports Meta event match quality rising from about 4 of 10 to 9.3, a vendor figure I can't verify.

Meta's Conversions API documentation describes the mechanism: server events link to a dataset and are processed like pixel events. The attribution page lists 8 models, including U-shaped, last non-direct touch and source-specific first and last touch.

The directory lists 76 integrations: 13 ad networks, 10 CRMs, 10 ecommerce platforms and 6 payment tools. A team that closes deals in HubSpot or Salesforce can follow a LinkedIn click to a closed-won deal in Cometly.

TrackRev reads billing systems rather than a CRM.

How do two credit systems split one customer?

A credit system is the rule that divides one sale among the touches behind it. Take a $49 monthly plan that a customer keeps for 12 months, $588 in all.

The buyer clicked a LinkedIn ad on day 1, a newsletter link on day 9 and a partner's link on day 20, each pointing at a tracking link.

Credit ruleOffered byLinkedIn ad, day 1Newsletter, day 9Partner link, day 20
First touchBoth$588.00$0$0
Last touchBoth$0$0$588.00
LinearBoth$196.00$196.00$196.00
U-shapedCometly only$235.20$117.60$235.20

One $588 customer credited four ways. U-shaped follows Cometly's documented split: 40% to the first touch, 40% to the last, 20% shared by the middle.

TrackRev's 3 rules cover first touch, last touch and an even split, with last touch as the default.

U-shaped takes $78.40 off the middle touch compared with linear, and a team with 3 channels, as in the example, rarely needs more. Last-touch vs first-touch vs linear walks through the choice.

How does TrackRev track revenue by channel?

Channel revenue tracking in TrackRev is a 3-step chain from click to visitor to charge. First, TrackRev records each click on the server at your tracking link, so click capture needs no script on your site.

Second, 1 first-party pixel sets a visitor ID cookie on your domain and ties later pageviews to the click.

Third, revenue comes from a read-only key for Stripe, Paddle Billing, Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem or Dodo Payments: a charge joins to the visitor ID when checkout carries it, and to the buyer's email when it doesn't.

Renewals inherit the first sale's click, refunds and chargebacks come out of the channel's revenue, and the window runs 1 to 365 days, 30 by default, so 1 click can precede a sale by up to 365 days.

Sync runs every 60 minutes, with an optional webhook for sales within seconds.

Stripe's subscription webhook documentation says some events fire at creation and others recur each billing period, and a paid Stripe Billing renewal arrives as invoice.paid. TrackRev reads the charges, so month 12 is credited like month 1.

Subscription LTV attribution by channel covers the lifetime rollup and attributing Stripe revenue to marketing channels the wiring.

What does TrackRev cost?

TrackRev is affiliate software with 3 plans, and partners earn commission on the same orders that feed the channel table.

The hold before payout is set per program from 0 to 180 days and defaults to 0, and payouts go out by PayPal or Wise CSV export.

The affiliate program page covers the partner side, and Indie at $29 includes it. We built TrackRev with no tool for ad spend, while Cometly's navigation lists no tool for running a partner program of your own.

Indie$29 a month11Owner onlyNo cap
Growth$299 a yearUp to 10Up to 10UnlimitedNo cap

TrackRev's published plans, October 2026. Every paid plan includes the whole product, and the free plan covers 50 links and 1,000 events a month.

12 months of Indie cost $348, so Growth's $299 is $49 (14%) lower and covers up to 10 workspaces and 10 tracked domains.

Cometly's 20% yearly discount applies to a price it does not publish, so no like-for-like yearly figure exists.

What sits outside TrackRev's scope?

TrackRev is a revenue tool, not an ad tool, and leaves 6 jobs to other tools, as the list below shows.

  • No spend import from Meta Ads or Google Ads, so no return on ad spend or cost per acquisition from platform data.
  • Nothing sent back to Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn or TikTok, so their bidding learns from each network's own pixel.
  • No CRM: HubSpot and Salesforce deals never reach the channel table.
  • No fingerprint matching across devices, only 2 signals: the first-party cookie and the checkout email.
  • No native BigQuery or Snowflake connector. CSV export, a REST API and a sale.created webhook carry the raw data, and BigQuery and Postgres connectors are on the roadmap.
  • Revenue figures stay hidden on the free plan, and revenue plus affiliates start at $29 on Indie.
