TrackRevTrackRev vs HYROS: which should you use?
TrackRev shows you which acquisition channel actually pays your MRR — the SaaS alternative to HYROS. HYROS is an ad-attribution platform for info-product sellers, coaches, and course creators running heavy paid traffic, feeding conversions back to ad platforms and tracking calls to sharpen ROAS. TrackRev follows a Stripe, Paddle, Polar, or Lemon Squeezy payment back to the click that created it, adds branded links, runs an affiliate program to scale your best channel, and publishes its pricing.

Why choose TrackRev over HYROS?
Affiliate program, no second subscription
Invite partners, set commissions, and run payouts without buying a separate tool. HYROS requires adding an affiliate platform. TrackRev does it all from one place.
Branded links on your own domain
TrackRev puts every tracking link on your own domain — better click-through, more trust, no generic redirect URLs. HYROS doesn't offer branded short links.
Pricing you can see upfront
HYROS requires a sales call to get pricing. TrackRev publishes every tier publicly — Starter at $39/mo, Growth at $99/mo, Scale at $199/mo, and every paid plan unlocks the whole product. No surprises, no contracts.

Run HYROS and TrackRev side by side.
Keep HYROS running. Add TrackRev's snippet in 5 minutes and compare dashboards side by side — cut over only when the numbers convince you.
Export from HYROS
Pull your existing links, slugs, and (if applicable) partner list as CSV from HYROS. Most exports are one click in the dashboard.
Import into TrackRev
Paste the CSV into the bulk-create flow. Slugs are preserved so your existing printed and embedded links keep working.
Swap the script, reconnect Stripe
Swap the tracking script and reconnect Stripe so commission history carries forward. Affiliates keep earning through the cutover — payouts pick up where they left off.
No big-bang switch needed. Most teams run TrackRev next to HYROS for a week to confirm click totals match, then cut over the domain. We'll help walk the reconciliation — email maruf@trackrev.io.

When HYROS is the better pick
Purpose-built to feed accurate conversions back to ad platforms so their algorithms optimize on real buyers — HYROS's core strength for paid-ads-heavy businesses.
Dedicated call tracking for high-ticket info-product funnels that close over the phone.
If those are your dealbreakers, HYROS is a genuinely good choice. If knowing which links make money is the goal, keep reading.
What to actually measure while both are running
A feature table — including ours — tells you what a vendor says it does. Two weeks of parallel data tells you what it does on your traffic. Four things are worth checking, and they are where HYROS and TrackRev will disagree if they disagree at all.
Reconcile against the processor, not against each other
Two tools disagreeing tells you nothing about which is right. Pull the same date range from Stripe, Paddle, Polar or Lemon Squeezy and compare each dashboard to that instead. The processor is the only system in the chain that knows what actually settled, so it is the only fair referee — and a tool that can’t be reconciled to it at all is the answer to the question.
Match the attribution window and model first
Most side-by-side gaps are not a tracking difference, they are a settings difference. A 30-day last-touch window and a 60-day first-touch window will disagree on the same traffic and both be working correctly. Set both tools to the same window and the same model before you read a single number, or you will spend a week investigating a discrepancy you configured.
Segment the comparison by Safari and iOS
This is where client-side and server-side tracking separate, and it is invisible in an aggregate number. Safari’s tracking prevention and iOS link-tracking protection cut third-party attribution well before they touch first-party server-side tracking. If one tool is materially lower than the other only on those segments, you have found the mechanism rather than a rounding difference.
Refund a test charge and watch what happens
Attribution is easy while money only moves one way. Refund a real charge and check whether the revenue reverses, whether the commission it generated reverses with it, and how long either takes. A tool that counts the sale but not the refund will overstate every channel you have, and you will only find out when finance asks why the numbers don’t tie.
Two weeks is usually enough for the first three; the refund test takes an afternoon. If the result is that HYROS fits your setup better, that is a good outcome — the comparison above has a section on exactly when that is the case, and it is there because a table where one side wins every row is an advert, not a comparison.

All 17 comparisons in one place.
If you run high-spend paid-ad campaigns for info products, courses, or coaching, HYROS is purpose-built for exactly that — feeding clean conversion data back to Meta and Google so their algorithms optimize on real buyers. If you sell SaaS on a subscription and need to know which channel actually pays your MRR, TrackRev fits your stack instead: Stripe, Paddle, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy revenue, branded links, an affiliate program to scale your best channel, and pricing you can see without a sales call.
