Hyros vs Binom

By Marcus Flynn, tracking and attribution editor. Updated 23 September 2026.

You are down to two trackers that barely belong in the same comparison. Hyros is a revenue-attribution layer for a funnel you own. It stitches a buyer's touches together across ads, email, webinars and sales calls, then feeds the real sale back to Meta and Google. Binom is a self-hosted click tracker for affiliates and media buyers. It routes clicks, rotates offers and reads conversions back through postbacks, on a server you run and a license that does not care how much traffic you push. The pick is almost never a close call once you know which of those two operators you are.

Pick Hyros if you own a high-ticket, long-cycle funnel and need delayed, repeat and call-driven sales attributed back to your ads; pick Binom if you buy high-volume traffic to offers you do not own and want a flat, click-independent license on a tracker you run yourself.

Quick answer

Binom is our top pick for most people. The self-hosted tracker to pick if you run high click volume: one fixed license fee that does not climb with traffic, no matter how many clicks you push. The catch is that you, not a SaaS vendor, run the server it lives on.

  • Hyros. Best for High-ticket info, webinar and call funnels.
  • Binom. Best for High-volume affiliate and media buyers comfortable running a server. From $149/mo.

Hyros: pros and cons

What works

  • Multi-touch attribution across a long journey (ad to opt-in to email to webinar to booked call), which last-click platforms miss.
  • Sends offline and long-window sales back to Meta and Google so their algorithms optimize on real revenue.
  • Call and high-ticket tracking is a first-class use case, not an afterthought, with named case studies from large info brands.

What to watch

  • Hyros does not publish plan prices; cost is quoted after a demo and is aimed at higher-spend accounts, so it is opaque before a sales call.
  • Operators repeatedly report it is involved to set up and overkill below roughly $50k/month in spend across multiple platforms.
  • It will not fix low Event Match Quality or a weak offer; it makes the attribution clearer, not the funnel better.

Binom: pros and cons

What works

  • One flat license that does not climb with clicks: the vendor rates v2 at up to 260 million clicks a day for the same price, which undercuts event-priced SaaS trackers at high volume.
  • Self-hosted, so your click and conversion data stays on your own server with lifetime retention and no volume or storage caps.
  • Fast redirects plus a full media-buying toolkit: paths, rules, rotations, five-level reports, sub-ID tracking and built-in cloaking, with support that installs it on a clean server for free.
  • A full-feature 14-day trial, extendable to 30 days on request, and a stated policy of refunding unused license time.

What to watch

  • You run the server. Binom's own docs require a clean dedicated or VPS box (Ubuntu, 4 GB RAM, 2 cores, 50 GB, KVM) and warn stability is not guaranteed if you alter it, so the real cost is server, domains, backups, monitoring and uptime on top of the license.
  • Server-side CAPI is limited: Facebook and Google integrations live in v1 and v2 is still catching up, so Meta and TikTok-heavy DTC buyers get more from RedTrack or a platform-native stack.
  • Bot, VPN and proxy filtering is a separate paid module, so the fraud protection some cloud rivals bundle is an add-on here.
  • Below meaningful volume it is overkill: under a cheap or free cloud tracker's event cap, the flat license plus server upkeep rarely beats a managed tool.

The real differences

What each one actually is

Hyros is a revenue-attribution layer, not a click tracker. It plugs into a business you own, ties a customer's touches together across ads, email, webinars, calls and checkout, and sends the resulting sale back to Meta, Google and TikTok so their algorithms learn from real revenue instead of a last-click guess. Its own pitch names the hard cases it is built for: delayed purchases, high-ticket closes, reorders and subscription rebills, stitched back to the ad that started them. That is a job most trackers do not attempt.

Binom is the opposite kind of tool. It is a self-hosted click tracker for affiliates and media buyers who push traffic to offers they do not own. You install it on your own server, route ad clicks through it, and read conversions back from affiliate networks through server-to-server postbacks. Around that sit the things a buyer lives in: click routing with paths and rules, offer and lander rotation, five-level reports, sub-ID tracking and built-in cloaking. It is the same category as Voluum and RedTrack, delivered as a license you host rather than a cloud account someone else runs.

How they track, and what they optimize

Hyros tracks the customer. It leans on server-side, first-party data across every step of a funnel you control, then pushes that back to the ad platforms. The design assumes a long, multi-touch journey: an ad seen weeks before the sale, an email that reopened it, a call that closed it. Hyros frames its value against what platform pixels drop, claiming ad-platform tracking misses roughly 30% of sales and the large majority of repeat and delayed purchases. Whether those figures hold for your account is something only your own reconciliation can tell you, but the intent is clear.

Binom tracks the click. A postback fires server-to-server when a network reports a conversion, the model that holds up on redirect-style affiliate flows where you cannot drop a browser pixel on someone else's page. On top sit the routing rules, sub-ID reporting and rotation that matter when you are testing dozens of offers and landers across native, push and pop inventory. It is not trying to reconcile a call that happened three weeks after the click. It is telling you which zone, publisher and lander are making money right now, at volume, cheaply.

Setup and how you buy

Hyros is sold, not self-served. There are no public prices. You book a demo, the team scopes and installs it, and the quote is aimed at higher-spend accounts. Operators repeatedly describe it as involved to implement and overkill below roughly $50,000 a month in spend across several platforms. The trade for that is a done-for-you setup and an attribution model you are unlikely to build yourself.

Binom is self-served on price and self-run on infrastructure. You can see the license fee, start a trial and buy without a call. The catch is the server. Binom's own install docs require a clean VPS or dedicated box (Ubuntu, 4 GB of RAM, two cores, 50 GB of disk, KVM) and warn that stability is not guaranteed if you alter it. Support will install the tracker on a fresh server for free, but from there the domains, backups, monitoring and uptime are yours. The real cost is total ownership, not the license line.

Who each one is for

If you own the product, the checkout, the list and the calls, and you sell high-ticket into a long buying cycle, Hyros is the fit, provided you spend enough for the accuracy to pay for itself. High-ticket coaching, webinars, subscriptions and direct-to-consumer ecommerce with delayed sales are where its multi-touch, revenue-back-to-platform model earns its price.

If you buy high-volume traffic to offers you do not own, Binom is the fit. Network offers, CPA and lead-gen across native, push, pop and search, several traffic sources rotated and tested on the click, and a click count high enough that event-priced SaaS trackers start to hurt: that is the shape Binom's flat license is built for. It is also the wrong tool below meaningful volume, where a cheap cloud tracker's free event cap plus platform CAPI covers the job without a server to run.

One caveat applies to both. Neither tool fixes a weak offer, a broken pixel setup or low Event Match Quality. They make the numbers clearer. They do not make the funnel better.

What each one costs

Hyros does not publish prices. You book a demo, the team scopes and installs it for you, and the quote is aimed at higher-spend accounts. There is no entry tier to test cheaply and no number to compare on a page, which is the trade for the done-for-you setup and the owned-funnel attribution.

Binom publishes a flat license that does not climb with clicks. The self-hosted v2 tracker is $149 a month, or $104 a month billed yearly, and the vendor rates it at up to 260 million clicks a day for the same price. A managed Binom Cloud plan is $299 a month, an extra license is $75, and the Binom Protect bot and cloaking module is a separate add-on. On top of any of those you carry the server it runs on.

The cost decision follows the spend decision, but in opposite directions. Hyros is a larger, opaquer commitment that only pays back once a high-ticket, multi-touch funnel is big enough that mis-attributed revenue is genuinely expensive. Binom is a small, known license whose real bill is the infrastructure and the hours to run it, and it wins on cost precisely when your click volume is high enough to make event-based pricing painful.

Frequently asked questions

Hyros or Binom: which should I pick?
Pick Hyros if you own a high-ticket, long-cycle funnel and need delayed, repeat and call-driven sales attributed back to your ads. Pick Binom if you buy high-volume traffic to offers you do not own and want a flat license, on a tracker you run yourself, that does not climb with clicks. They serve nearly opposite operators, so the answer is usually clear once you know which one you are.
Is Hyros or Binom cheaper?
Binom is the only one of the two you can price without a sales call: $149 a month for the self-hosted v2 license, or $104 billed yearly, plus the server you run it on. Hyros publishes no prices at all; you book a demo and get a quote aimed at higher-spend accounts. So Binom is both cheaper to start and the one you can forecast, though its real cost includes running the infrastructure.
Can Binom feed sales back to Meta and Google the way Hyros does?
Not to the same depth. Binom's server-side conversion API support is limited: Facebook and Google integrations live in the first version and the second is catching up, so it is not built to reconcile long, multi-touch, owned-funnel revenue and push it back to the platforms. That reconciliation is Hyros's core job. If feeding real high-ticket sales back to the ad algorithms is the point, Binom is the wrong tool.
Do I need to run a server for either one?
For Binom, yes. It is self-hosted, and its own docs require a clean VPS or dedicated server (Ubuntu, 4 GB of RAM, two cores, KVM), plus tracking domains, backups and uptime that are yours to manage. Hyros is cloud and done-for-you: the company sets it up, so there is no server on your side. That difference alone rules one of them out for a lot of buyers.
