Bemob vs Hyros: Which Tracker Is Right for You?
Bemob and Hyros are sold to opposite ends of the affiliate market. Bemob's free tier is the entry ramp for the buyer doing $1K-$3K in monthly ad spend, scaling up through a $49 plan, then $249, then $499. Hyros doesn't even talk to you below $230 a month, locks you into a twelve-month contract, and assumes you're spending five figures on ads before they pick up the phone. One is the cheapest cloud tracker on the market. The other is the most expensive attribution platform aimed at affiliates and infoproduct operators.
Both record the sale. Neither closes the loop on what happens after it. The refund on day twenty-one, the chargeback on day forty-five, the subscription cancellation in month three: that data lives in the dashboard and never makes it back to Meta, Google, or TikTok. Below is the breakdown of where each fits, where each falls short, and what both leave on the table no matter which tier you're on.

Bemob: The Free-Tier On-Ramp
What Bemob Does Well vs Hyros
- The free plan is real. 100,000 events per month, no time limit, no credit card. Hyros has no free tier and no public pricing below $69/mo for the Shopify track or $230/mo for the Business track.
- Pricing is on the homepage. Professional at $49/mo, Business at $249, Enterprise at $499. Hyros makes you book a sales call before you can see a number.
- Monthly billing on every tier. Hyros locks you into twelve months on every paid plan, so a setup that doesn't pan out in month two still costs you through month twelve.
- Events-based pricing scales with traffic, not revenue. Hyros tiers are gated by tracked revenue thresholds, which means a high-ROAS funnel that scales fast pushes you up the price ladder faster than the actual signal volume warrants.
- Setup is twenty minutes for a basic campaign with postback URLs. Hyros onboarding is a multi-week process with their team because the AI attribution engine has to be trained on your historical data.
In Practice: I treat Bemob the same way I treat any free-tier SaaS. It's a fine on-ramp for someone running their first push or pop campaigns who needs to see whether the numbers in the offer page actually hold up at scale. The moment your monthly events cross 100K, Bemob is no longer free, and the upgrade path quickly stops being the cheap option. By the time you're on Business at $249/mo, you're already in Hyros Business Entry territory. The "Bemob is cheap" framing only holds at the very bottom.
Where Bemob Falls Short vs Hyros
- Attribution is single-touch (last-click). For a funnel where the customer sees a YouTube ad, opens four emails, and converts twenty-one days later, Bemob can only credit the last click. Hyros stitches the journey across the full window.
- No call tracking, no email transcription. If your funnel includes a phone consultation or an email-nurtured sequence, Bemob doesn't see those touchpoints. Hyros does.
- Lifetime value reporting by traffic source is not built in. You can pull conversion data, but Bemob doesn't natively show that YouTube buyers spend 2.3x more over twelve months than Meta buyers. Hyros does.
- Data retention is one month on Professional, three months on Business. If you want to look back at a campaign from six months ago, you need Enterprise or you need to export and self-host the data. Hyros retention is undocumented but generally longer for the customers their pricing is designed around.
- Free-tier CAPI support is bare-bones, basic conversion firing without deep parameter coverage. Paid tiers improve the integration but I haven't found public documentation of the exact parameter list Bemob sends.
Bemob Pricing: Free (100K events, basic features). Professional $49/mo (1M events, 1-month retention, postbacks, basic CAPI). Business $249/mo (10M events, 3-month retention, more integrations). Enterprise $499/mo (custom event ceiling). Monthly billing only, no annual discount available.
Hyros: The Attribution Engine for High-Ticket
What Hyros Does Well vs Bemob
- Multi-touch attribution stitches a customer who sees a Facebook ad on day one, opens four emails, watches a YouTube video on day fourteen, and buys on day twenty-one. Bemob's last-click model attributes that sale to whichever ad fired last.
- Call and email tracking with transcription is native. For coaching funnels, agency offers, and consultative sales, the phone is often the closing channel and Bemob has no visibility into it.
- Lifetime value reporting by traffic source is built in. Hyros treats LTV as a first-class metric. Bemob treats it as something you build offline in a spreadsheet.
- AI-driven pattern matching is designed to recover attribution that iOS 14+ and third-party cookie death broke. It's the feature Hyros markets hardest.
- The ninety-day ROI guarantee (15% attribution improvement or refund) is the strongest commitment in this space. Bemob makes no equivalent promise.
- Onboarding includes hands-on setup with the Hyros team. Bemob is self-serve; you read the docs and figure it out.
In Practice: I've watched Hyros earn its price tag for high-ticket funnels with $2K+ average order values and multi-week decision cycles. The multi-touch view is the only honest way to know whether a YouTube ad opened a lead that an email closed three weeks later. For a media buyer running a $7 ClickBank tripwire that converts in forty minutes, none of that infrastructure earns its keep, and on those funnels Bemob's $49 plan does the same job for a fraction of the cost.
Where Hyros Falls Short vs Bemob
- ClickBank support is vendor-only. Affiliates promoting ClickBank offers cannot use Hyros to track their conversions. Bemob supports ClickBank for affiliates through standard postback URLs.
- Pricing requires a demo call above the entry tier. Bemob's pricing is on the homepage with no gating.
- Twelve-month commitment on every paid tier. Bemob is monthly with no minimum term.
- No free tier. Bemob has a real free plan at 100K events/mo.
- Push, pop, and native traffic networks are not the focus. Bemob serves these segments natively.
- CAPI signal depth is undocumented. When I ran the audit for this article, I couldn't find a public list of which Meta CAPI parameters Hyros actually sends per conversion. Bemob's depth is also limited but the integration intent is at least documented.
Hyros Pricing: Shopify entry $69/mo (up to $5K tracked monthly revenue). Business entry $230/mo (up to $20K tracked monthly revenue). Higher tiers (generally $369/mo, $629/mo, $1,049/mo, scaling to $4,200+/mo for unlimited) require a demo call. Twelve-month commitment on every paid tier. Onboarding minimum ad spend is generally around $10K/mo to qualify.
Head-to-Head Comparison
Pricing & Value
Bemob Free at zero dollars covers any media buyer running under 100K events per month. Hyros has no equivalent. The first real question is what happens when you cross 100K events on Bemob. Professional at $49 covers up to 1M events. Hyros Shopify entry at $69 covers up to $5K in monthly tracked revenue. Two different units (events vs revenue) for two different go-to-market motions.
The interesting comparison is at the top of Bemob's range against the bottom of Hyros. Bemob Business at $249/mo and Hyros Business entry at $230/mo are within $19 of each other on a monthly rate. The lock-in is the divergence. Hyros bills you for twelve months whether you stay or not, so the comparable annualized commitment is $5,520 for Hyros vs $2,988 for Bemob if you stay all twelve months (and Bemob lets you cancel whenever, so the worst-case Bemob cost can be $249 for a single month).
Two-year cost, monthly billing: Bemob Business runs $5,976 over 24 months. Hyros Business entry runs $5,520 (locked, no early exit). The numbers look similar but the buyer profile they serve is not.
Tracking Accuracy & Signal Depth
Both platforms send CAPI signals to Meta, Google, and TikTok on paid tiers. The depth of those signals (how many of Meta's fifteen Event Match Quality parameters get sent per conversion) is where the gap opens, and where ClickerVolt sits apart from both.
Bemob sends the standard five-parameter CAPI payload Meta accepts. Hyros doesn't publish a signal list; ~4/15 reflects the conservative baseline implied by their public docs. ClickerVolt sends all fifteen.
Bemob fires the basic five-parameter Meta CAPI payload (email, phone, IP, user agent, click ID). Hyros's depth is not publicly documented, and from what's been written publicly the depth is similar or lower. ClickerVolt sends all fifteen Meta parameters, twelve TikTok parameters, and nine Google parameters on every conversion, plus refund correction signals neither Bemob nor Hyros fires.
Affiliate Network Support
This is where Bemob and Hyros split most clearly along buyer profile.
Bemob handles ClickBank affiliate postbacks but manually and without onward sync. Hyros is vendor-only. Only ClickerVolt fires the refund correction back to Meta, Google, and TikTok automatically.
Bemob accepts ClickBank affiliate postbacks through standard URL templates, but each event type (sale, refund, chargeback) needs its own configuration and the data still dies in the dashboard. Hyros doesn't support affiliate-side ClickBank tracking at all (vendors only). ClickerVolt ships native IPN receivers for ClickBank, WarriorPlus, and JVZoo that auto-fire refund corrections to all three ad platforms on detection.
Other Differentiators
Automation: Bemob has rule-based traffic distribution and basic anti-fraud filters. Hyros relies on AI pattern matching that requires technical setup with their team. ClickerVolt ships rule-based automation alongside refund-triggered signal correction.
Bot Detection: Bemob includes basic bot filtering on paid tiers. Hyros under-emphasizes bot filtering and there is no public methodology documented. ClickerVolt uses Cloudflare enterprise bot management on the edge, inline with every click.
Data Retention: Bemob retains data 1 month on Professional, 3 months on Business. Hyros retention is not publicly documented. ClickerVolt stores all tracking data indefinitely on every tier.
What Both Are Missing
Bemob and Hyros sell to opposite ends of the affiliate spectrum, and the framing of each company makes the gap easy to miss. Bemob saves you money. Hyros adds attribution intelligence. Neither closes the loop on what your ad platform actually does with your conversion data once the sale fires.
The Algorithm Doesn't Care How Much You Paid
Here's the pattern I keep coming back to. A buyer pays Bemob $0 a month to track 80,000 events. Another buyer pays Hyros $230 a month for AI attribution across a 21-day window. The Meta algorithm doesn't read the invoice. It reads the signal payload that lands in Events Manager. If both trackers send 4-5 of the 15 supported parameters, the Event Match Quality score is the same on both sides of that pricing chasm. The free tracker and the premium tracker train Meta with the same fidelity, which is to say not very high.
That's the first half of the gap. The second half is the refund. A $50K Meta campaign generates 500 conversions at $100 average order value. Week four, 47 of those customers refund. Real AOV drops to $89, real ROAS drops from 6.8x to 6.2x, and neither Bemob ($49) nor Hyros ($230) fires a correction event back to Meta. The algorithm keeps optimizing toward the customer profile that refunded. The next campaign prospects harder for the same audience. The damage compounds with every cycle the bad data persists.
Both Bemob and Hyros log the refund. Neither fires the correction event back to Meta, Google, or TikTok. The algorithm keeps training on the unrefunded buyer profile.
The Pricing Structure Question
Bemob is monthly. Hyros is annual lock. ClickerVolt is one-time lifetime. The framing matters because the math hits different timeframes.
At month 5, ClickerVolt is cheaper than either Bemob Business or Hyros Business Entry, and stays that way forever.
If you're on Bemob's free tier the math is different. Bemob Free is genuinely free. The pricing comparison kicks in once your event volume crosses 100K and you start paying. By the time you're on Bemob Business at $249/mo, you'll save $4,979 in the first 24 months by switching to ClickerVolt. Against Hyros Business Entry at $230/mo (locked for 12 months), the 24-month savings are $4,523. Year five totals diverge to $14,940 (Bemob), $13,800 (Hyros), and $997 (ClickerVolt).
Final Recommendation
Choose Bemob if: You're running your first push or pop campaigns under 100K events/month, you want a free on-ramp, and you don't yet need refund correction or full Meta CAPI fidelity. The free tier is honest. Just price out the upgrade path before you build your funnel around it.
Choose Hyros if: You're running a $2K+ AOV high-ticket coaching, agency, or infoproduct funnel with a 14+ day decision window, your customer journey crosses YouTube, email, and phone, and your monthly ad spend is consistently above $10K. Multi-touch attribution earns its price tag at that scale.
Consider ClickerVolt if: You want all 15 Meta CAPI signals firing on every conversion, automatic refund sync to Meta, Google, and TikTok, native IPN integrations for ClickBank, and unlimited data retention, without monthly billing or a 12-month lock. The $997 lifetime price beats both 24-month totals after month 5.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bemob better than Hyros?
For a media buyer running ClickBank, push, or native traffic at under $5K/mo in ad spend, Bemob's free or $49 Professional tier covers more of the use case at a fraction of the cost. For a high-ticket coaching or agency operator running $10K+/mo across YouTube, email, and phone, Hyros's multi-touch attribution earns its $230+/mo price. They're not the same product.
Can I use Bemob for free?
Yes. Bemob's free plan covers 100,000 events per month with no time limit and no credit card required. Once you exceed 100K events, you're on Professional at $49/mo or higher.
Does Hyros have a free trial?
No. Hyros pricing requires a demo call above the published $69/mo Shopify entry tier and $230/mo Business entry tier. There's no free plan or self-serve trial.
Which platform handles ClickBank refunds better?
Neither. Bemob accepts the ClickBank refund postback into its dashboard. Hyros doesn't support affiliate-side ClickBank tracking at all. Neither fires a refund correction event back to Meta, Google, or TikTok, so the ad algorithms keep training on the pre-refund conversion data.
How much does Hyros cost?
Public pricing starts at $69/mo for the Shopify entry tier (up to $5K tracked monthly revenue) and $230/mo for the Business entry tier (up to $20K tracked monthly revenue). Higher tiers (generally $369, $629, $1,049/mo and beyond) require a demo. Every paid tier is a 12-month commitment.
Which tracker is easiest to set up?
Bemob Professional takes about 20 minutes to configure a basic campaign with postback URLs for one offer. Hyros onboarding is a multi-week process with their team because the AI attribution engine has to be trained on historical data. ClickerVolt's IPN setup for ClickBank is a single URL paste.
