Head-to-head

RedTrack vs ClickFlare

Both trackers sit in the click path and send conversions back to the ad platforms. ClickFlare is cheaper at the start. RedTrack shows the spend on every ad. When you need more events, paying yearly costs less than ClickFlare's comparable plan.

By Marcus Flynn, tracking and attribution editor. Updated 24 October 2026.

Pick RedTrack if you buy paid traffic and want to see what each ad spent. Pick ClickFlare if you want a lower starting price, AI traffic routing, and a migration the vendor does for you.

Quick answer

Use RedTrack when the report you act on is profit for one ad. Use ClickFlare when you want to start for less and have the vendor migrate your campaigns.

RedTrack: pros and cons

What works

  • Server-side CAPI for Meta, TikTok, Google and Snapchat is on the first paid plan.
  • Spend is listed per ad, so ROAS and CPA are based on that figure.
  • One account covers affiliate offers and a store you own.
  • Solo, Team and Enterprise prices are on the site, so you can see the cost as events and seats go up.

What to watch

  • Faster ad-spend sync and Ads Manager are paid add-ons, so a large account pays more than the plan price.
  • Hyros fits long sales that close on the phone.
  • You still set up the UTMs, the pixel and CAPI. RedTrack flags anything that is missing.

ClickFlare: pros and cons

What works

  • Server-side CAPI, the AI Copilot, automatic cost sync and the tag manager are on every plan from Starter. The bill is a flat rate.
  • It catches form fills and purchases that a browser pixel misses, then sends one copy to Meta, Google and TikTok.
  • Uptime is stated at 99.99% since January 2021. On Trustpilot and G2, reviewers mention fast replies and a dashboard that is easy to use.
  • Sub-IDs, postbacks, offer routing, AI traffic routing and 165-plus network templates. Migration from another tracker is free, and ClickFlare does it for you.

What to watch

  • Outside writeups are still few, and nearly all of them are five stars. Test it on your own traffic before you move a live operation.
  • Plans are capped by monthly events. A high-traffic funnel can cross the cap, and overage is billed on top. At least one buyer liked the product and still switched because the price was too high.
  • The free import moves campaigns, flows, landers, offers and traffic sources. Your statistics remain in the previous tool.
  • Cost sync faster than every 30 minutes starts at $150 a month. Extra tracking domains and the broken-link guard are add-ons.

The real differences

What each one actually is

RedTrack is a cloud tracker for people who buy paid traffic. You log in, connect the ad accounts, and send the clicks through it. Spend is listed per ad, and ROAS and CPA are worked out from that. One account covers affiliate offers and a store you own. The vendor hosts it. CAPI for Meta, TikTok, Google and Snapchat is on the Solo plan.

ClickFlare is a cloud tracker for the same buyer. You point paid traffic through it. It stamps the click, routes the visitor to a landing page and an offer, and reports by campaign, source, offer and country. Tracking runs on ClickFlare's servers. Form fills and purchases that a browser pixel misses still get sent to the ad platforms. The full stack is on every plan from Starter: CAPI, the AI Copilot, cost sync and the tag manager. AI traffic routing and a library of 165-plus affiliate-network templates sit on top of that.

Same job, two ways in

Both are self-serve cloud trackers you route paid traffic through, and both send deduplicated conversions to the ad platforms from the first paid plan. ClickFlare Starter costs less to start. RedTrack's affiliate prices start at Solo, and that event cap is five times larger. At that full cap, RedTrack's yearly price is lower than ClickFlare's comparable plan. Extra events past the cap are a little cheaper on ClickFlare.

The number RedTrack is built around

RedTrack records the spend on every ad. ClickFlare includes automatic cost sync, so both can put spend in the report. The RedTrack report is one row per ad. A media buyer uses that profit to scale one creative and kill another.

What you get with ClickFlare

ClickFlare is the younger tracker. On top of the tracking it adds AI routing, a large set of network templates, and a migration it runs for you. Built-in tests shift visits toward the winning combination. Moving from another tracker is free, and ClickFlare does the import. Campaigns, flows, landers, offers and traffic sources come across. The import leaves historical reports behind, so download them while the old login still works. New users mention the live chat, and the people in it run traffic themselves.

On RedTrack, faster spend sync and Ads Manager cost extra, so the monthly total runs higher than the plan alone. Phone sales that take weeks to close are a job for a measurement tool such as Hyros. You still bring clean UTMs, a working pixel and the CAPI setup. If a piece of that is missing, RedTrack flags it.

Who each one is for

A buyer who scales creatives from profit on one ad, and who will use the larger event cap, should start with RedTrack. Media buyers have also been on RedTrack longer.

Teams running offers on affiliate networks usually look at the starting price, the AI routing, and whether ClickFlare migrates the campaigns. Start there, and run the trial on your own traffic before you move the operation.

How to choose

Choose RedTrack if you care most about profit on each ad and a longer history with media buyers. ClickFlare fits when you are switching for the starting price, the AI routing, or a migration ClickFlare runs for you. Either one will route the clicks and feed the ad platforms.

What each one costs

The old Builder plan is no longer on the affiliate price list. The RedTrack plans are Solo, Team and Enterprise.

  • Solo. The monthly price is $169. A year paid up front is $1,420, a 30% discount, and RedTrack's pricing page keeps that rate when the year renews. The same page lists the yearly price as $118 a month. The plan includes 5 million events, one user and five ad accounts on each ad platform. Past that allowance, events are $0.04 per 1,000. An event is a click, a conversion or a postback. Impressions are a separate fee. Spend on each ad updates every 60 minutes. CAPI for Meta, TikTok, Google and Snapchat is on this plan.
  • Team. Team costs $399 a month and $3,352 for the year. Coverage is 20 million events and five users. Extra events are $0.035 per 1,000, and spend syncs every 30 minutes.
  • Enterprise. Enterprise is $999 a month, or $8,392 billed once for the year. It covers 75 million events and 15 users. Past the cap, events are $0.025 per 1,000. Ads Manager and Scale Rules are included on this plan.

Each affiliate plan opens with a 14-day trial. Faster sync, and Ads Manager on Solo and Team, are add-ons priced by monthly ad spend.

Stores have their own plans. Relay has no monthly charge for one store and uses last-click attribution from UTMs. Brand is $99 a month at the $250,000 revenue tier, with three stores and multi-touch attribution, or $832 for the year. Agency is $599 a month at that tier, with unlimited stores, or $5,032 for the year.

ClickFlare charges a flat monthly rate set by event volume, whatever you spend on ads. Starter is $69 a month if you pay for the year, or $89 if you pay each month, for 1 million events. Pro's yearly rate matches Solo's monthly list price, and the monthly Pro plan is $219, for 5 million events. Master is $329 a month when the year is paid up front, or $429 on a monthly invoice, for 20 million events. Agency is $559, Enterprise is $959 and Corporate is $1,759 a month on yearly billing. Overage is $0.04 per 1,000 events on Starter, $0.035 on Pro and $0.03 on Master. Visits, clicks, conversions and postbacks count, and a user sent through the system counts as one event. The trial lasts 14 days, and you can start it without a card. CAPI, the AI Copilot, the tag manager and cost sync are on every plan from Starter.

Starter is cheaper up front, yearly or monthly. For the same event cap, Pro costs more if you pay each month than if you pay for the year. Solo's yearly price is lower than Pro on a yearly bill and on a monthly bill. Past the cap, the next million events add $40 on Solo and $35 on Pro.

Our pick

RedTrack

Is RedTrack or ClickFlare cheaper?
ClickFlare publishes the smaller price to open an account, on either billing cycle. RedTrack's first plan includes a much larger allowance, and the annual price comes in below ClickFlare once you need that allowance. Extra events after the cap are priced a little lower on ClickFlare.
Do RedTrack and ClickFlare do the same job?
They both sit in the click path and send conversions back from the first paid plan. RedTrack organizes the report around spend on the ad. ClickFlare adds AI routing, network templates and an import the vendor runs.
What counts as an event on each tracker?
