What it costs
From $40 per month.
Yearly individual plans on keitaro.io/en/pricing: Starter €40/mo (1 user, 1 domain), Advanced €72/mo (1 user, 100 domains), Expert €104/mo (up to 5 users, 500 domains). Business on pricing-business: Team €200/mo (50 users, 5000 domains), Enterprise €400/mo (unlimited users and domains). FAQ states there is no demo or trial; you buy a license. Six-month renewals get 10% off and twelve-month renewals get 20% off per FAQ. VPS is separate.
Taken from the vendor's own pricing page on 19 October 2026. The headline tier is rarely the real bill, so add the automation, faster data and extra seats you would actually run.
Is it worth it?
What works
- The licence does not climb with your clicks. Individual plans run EUR 40 to 104 a month billed yearly, with no per-event or per-click cap, so a campaign that suddenly does volume never trips an overage fee the way a cloud tracker can.
- You own the data. Keitaro runs on your own VPS, so your click and conversion data lives on hardware you control, with retention you set rather than a cloud plan's limits.
- It is a deep media-buying tracker, not a light attribution layer: streams and filters on GEO, device, browser, operator and schedule, offer and lander rotation, A/B testing, server-to-server postbacks, conversion sync to Meta, TikTok and Google, more than 35 parameters and fast multi-level reports.
- It is established and well supported. Keitaro's own site cites more than 4,000 businesses, long-term reviews describe years of continuous use, and support is the single most repeated piece of praise, at 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
What to watch
- You run the server. The docs require a clean VPS on CentOS 9 or 10 Stream with KVM, 20 GB of SSD and 4 GB of RAM or more, and the domains, SSL, backups, updates and security are yours to keep up. That weighs most on a non-technical or low-volume buyer; a media buyer who already runs a VPS will find it a fair trade for owning the data.
- There is no free trial. You buy a licence to use it, so you cannot run a real campaign through it for free first, though a public live demo lets you click around the interface. That puts the burden on you to be sure before you pay.
- When the server or the support chain fails, it costs money. The sharpest reviews describe 502 errors on server-to-server conversion tracking and slow resolution. Those usually trace to an under-provisioned VPS rather than the tracker itself, but on a self-hosted tool part of your uptime is your own responsibility.
- It carries reputation baggage. Security researchers have documented Keitaro's traffic-distribution system being abused in malware and cloaking campaigns, so some strict ad networks view the toolset warily. That is about criminal misuse of a general routing tool rather than honest tracking, but it is a reason to keep your redirects clean and your use compliant.
