Compare·Hyros
It is built to tell you which ad made the sale.
Hyros traces each sale or booked call back to the ad that started it, up to a year later. It reports on the ads, and says little about how people use your site or product.
What Hyros is
Ad tracking and attribution software that ties each sale or booked call to the ad behind it, and sends that data back to the ad platforms.

- Proprietary
- Hosting
- Their cloud only

- Tracking long sales funnels back to the exact ad, including sales that close on a phone call.
Where Hyros wins.
If one of these is a must-have for you, go with them.
It tracks sales calls
Hyros follows a booked call through to the closed deal, down to the sales rep who closed it. Each step is tied to the ad that brought the lead in. We have no call tracking. A sale reaches us only as a payment.
It feeds the ad platforms
Hyros sends verified sales back to the ad platforms, Meta and Google among them. Their bidding then learns from real revenue. We send nothing to any ad platform.
It knows what you spent
Hyros reads your ad spend and can take product costs off the revenue, so each ad shows a profit. We never see spend, so we cannot show return on ad spend.
It looks back further
Its attribution can look back a full year. It also offers more models, such as time-decay, which gives recent clicks more credit. Ours gives the sale to the last visit or splits it evenly across visits, over 1 to 90 days.
Where Spreelytics wins.
Every line here is a page in the product today.
Starting costs nothing
Our Free plan takes 100k events a month, forever, with revenue attribution in it. Hyros has one paid plan, priced by the revenue it tracks. You get your price on a setup call.
We show your search traffic
Our SEO page puts Search Console data next to your traffic. You see the searches you show up for and the pages they land on. Hyros is built for paid traffic.
We show what people do after the click
Funnels of up to eight steps show where people drop off. Journeys show the pages they take, forwards or backwards from any page. Hyros’s journeys follow ad touchpoints instead, such as a Meta ad followed by an email.
We count AI crawlers
AI crawlers rarely run JavaScript, so a script in the page never sees them. We count them on your server, sorted by what each crawler does with your pages. Hyros does not report on them.
Side by side.
We leave prices out because Hyros can change theirs at any time. Ours are on the pricing page.

Moving over.
Every one of these starts by leaving Hyros running.
01
Keep Hyros running
It holds your sales history. It also keeps sending your sales to the ad platforms, so leave it on.
02
Add our script beside theirs
Hyros asks for its script in the head of every page. Put our one script tag in the same place.
03
Connect your payments
If Hyros reads your sales from Stripe, connect the same Stripe account in Settings. Our other three providers connect the same way. Then pass the visitor id in your checkout metadata, so each sale can be traced to its visit.
04
Build your first funnel
Build one funnel from your landing page to your thank-you page. Then walk the journeys backwards from checkout. Hyros reports on the ads, so this part is new.
FAQ
Switching from Hyros.
What people ask before they switch.
Can Spreelytics replace Hyros for my ads?
No. We do not connect to your ad accounts, and we send nothing back to them. So there is no return on ad spend here, and no feed of sales for Meta or Google.
If those decide how you buy ads, keep Hyros. Use us beside it for the site and the product.
Do you track sales calls?
No. We see a call only if you send it to us as an event. A funnel can then show how many visitors reach that step. Hyros follows the call on to the closed deal and the rep who closed it.
Why will your numbers differ from Hyros?
Hyros can credit a sale to an ad clicked up to a year before. Our window is 1 to 90 days, and we credit visits rather than ad clicks.
Hyros also recognises a visitor by a cookie and by details of their browser and device. We set one first-party cookie, or nothing at all on a project switched to cookieless. So look at how the numbers move from week to week, not at the totals.
