What Is the Best Plan Available?

Depending on what you want to achieve with the app, the best plans are the Pro plan (individual) and the Team plan (for agencies).

These plans offer the best features of the app for a very reasonable price. Of course, you still have a wide range of plans available.

However, the more basic plans may fall short, and the more advanced ones may include too many features that you may end up not using.

In any case, if you feel that you require certain specific features, you can always count on the Custom plan.

While it is true that, depending on your needs, it could end up being quite expensive, it is also true that with it you will be sure to have only what you need, no more and no less.

User Reviews and Ratings

One of the fundamental parts when deciding to buy a tool like RedTrack is to know the opinions of users who have already used it for some time.

Knowing its results gives you a head start in predicting what you can get with the tool even before buying it. For this reason, we share with you some of the most popular reviews on the web about RedTrack:

Klemen V., an Actuary of a small business (with less than 50 employees), mentioned on g2.com:

"Powerful tracker that allows deep profitability analysis of campaigns.

RedTrack allows multivariate reporting, that is, reporting by multiple

dimensions. For example, not just to break down by carrier and OS, but

producing separate cohorts carrier_x_OS. This allows for multivariate analysis

like GLM."

Also, George C., the Global Marketing Manager of a mid-market company, mentioned that RedTrack is the "best conversion tracker in the market." He also added that the tool's best features include the full range of click and conversion technologies, its competitive pricing, and the fact that the tool is reliable and secure. The only negative comment is that the price has gone up since the company started using it a year ago.

There are many reviews on g2.com that mention how good RedTrack actually is, and most of them mention a few to zero terrible aspects of the tool. The only negative comments focus on the higher plans' pricing and some complications to understand the tool at first glance.

Because of this, the general score of RedTrack is 5/5 on g2.com and 4.5/5 on other review websites. This indicates that the general public is very pleased with this tool and that you can give it a try without any worry at all.

Is RedTrack a Good Purchase?

Yes, we can state without any doubt that RedTrack is an excellent option that adapts to small, medium, and large companies with ease.

Furthermore, the possibility of acquiring individual or corporate plans, in addition to the custom plan, makes it very attractive to consider at least one of the first options.

However, RedTrack is a perfect option and does not make it the only option available. The truth is that many other applications do the same job as RedTrack.

Below you will find a list with some alternatives in case RedTrack is not the suitable solution for your business:

  • Voluum: This is a marketing performance analysis tool created for marketers, media buyers, and agencies, launched in 2010 by Codewise. This tool allows you to track, manage, and optimize any traffic source, be it organic or paid, through a single platform hosted in the cloud.
  • Impact: This tool is a versatile solution that focuses on growth based on data analysis, data collection, and other forms of data optimization. Impact offers many tracking features incorporated in RedTrack, including affiliate tracking, data collection, and multi-user access without taking 3rd party cookies.
  • AnyTrack: It allows you to carry out promotions through various media (Google, Facebook, etc.) while all the data is converted and recorded in one place. In addition, this information is synchronized through all the pixels and analytics of the various campaigns you have active.
