WhatConverts — call tracking + form + chat attribution that closes the loop on paid channels
WhatConverts captures every lead source (call, form, chat, email, e-commerce) and ties it back to the marketing channel, campaign, keyword, and landing page that generated it — including Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI) for accurate session-level call attribution. Call Tracking $30/mo, Plus $60/mo, Pro $100/mo, Elite $160/mo (Multi-Click Attribution + full Customer Journey). Agency plans from $500/mo with unlimited client accounts. The right shape for service businesses, local SMB, and B2B teams where phone calls and form submissions matter as much as web conversions — and where Google Ads / Meta Ads optimization needs the offline-conversion loop closed. Caps out for pure-product SaaS (PostHog or Mixpanel cover that better) and for very high-volume call centers (CallRail's enterprise tier or Invoca fit better).

WhatConverts captures every lead source (call, form, chat, email, e-commerce) and ties it back to the marketing channel, campaign, keyword, and landing page that generated it — including Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI) for accurate session-level call attribution. Pipes offline conversions back to Google Ads / Meta Ads / GA4 to close the optimization loop on paid channels.
Who it's for: Service businesses, local SMB, B2B teams, and agencies where phone calls and form submissions matter as much as web conversions — and where Google Ads / Meta Ads optimization needs the offline-conversion loop closed. Strong fit for verticals where buying decisions happen on a phone call, not a checkout page (legal, healthcare, home services, B2B).
Core Use Cases
- Call tracking with Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI) for session-level attribution
- Form, chat, email, and e-commerce lead capture with full source data
- Offline conversion sync to Google Ads / Meta Ads / GA4 (closes the bid-optimizer loop)
- Call recording + transcription for quality monitoring and lead quality scoring
- Multi-Click Attribution + full Customer Journey on Elite tier
- Agency motion with unlimited client accounts under one master dashboard
Pricing Overview
Call Tracking $30/mo · Plus $60/mo (form + email + e-commerce capture, marketing platform integrations) · Pro $100/mo (Call Flows, Report Builder, scheduled reports, API access) · Elite $160/mo (Lead Intelligence + Multi-Click Attribution + Customer Journey). Agency plans from $500/mo with $250-400 in usage credits + unlimited client accounts. Usage charges: $0.10 per additional form/chat/transaction lead; call transcription $0.02/min; PCI redaction $0.01/min.
Strengths
- Closes the offline-conversion loop for paid media — feeds Google Ads / Meta Ads / GA4 with phone + form leads
- DNI implementation is operator-friendly (snippet-level install, no developer required for basic setup)
- Pricing is honest — $30/mo entry vs CallRail / CallTrackingMetrics start higher with similar feature depth
- Multi-Click Attribution on Elite tier is unusual at this price point (typically enterprise-only)
- Agency plans bundle unlimited client accounts under one master dashboard
- Real-time lead notifications (email, SMS, Slack, webhook) tie into existing workflow
Weaknesses
- Per-call-minute usage charges add up at scale — model TCO carefully for high-volume call businesses
- No conversation intelligence (sentiment, keyword scoring) — Gong / Chorus territory if that matters
- Form + chat capture works but the UX caps below dedicated tools (Hotjar, FullStory) for behavioral data
- Implementation depth varies — DNI install is easy but Google Ads / GA4 sync needs careful tagging discipline
- CRM integration depth varies by platform — HubSpot / Salesforce work well; smaller CRMs may need Zapier middleware
Best Alternatives
When to Use It
- Service business or local SMB where 50%+ of leads come via phone calls
- B2B motion where form submissions drive demos but call attribution is broken
- Paid media program needing offline conversions piped to Google Ads / Meta Ads bid optimizer
- Agency managing 5+ client accounts on lead attribution (unlimited clients on Agency tier)
- Verticals where buying happens on calls (legal, healthcare, home services, B2B)
When NOT to Use It
- Pure-product SaaS with no phone-call lead motion — PostHog, Mixpanel, or Amplitude cover the use case better
- Very high-volume call centers (1M+ calls/yr) — Invoca or DialogTech enterprise tiers fit better
- Conversation intelligence is the primary need (sentiment, keyword scoring, coaching) — Gong / Chorus territory
- Sub-$30/mo budgets — Google's free call extensions cover basic call tracking without attribution
StackSwap Insight
WhatConverts overlaps with CallRail, CallTrackingMetrics, Invoca, CallSource, Phonexa, and DialogTech. The honest split: at SMB and mid-market scale, WhatConverts and CallRail are the two strongest picks — WhatConverts wins on pricing (entry $30/mo vs CallRail $50/mo) and Multi-Click Attribution on Elite tier; CallRail wins on form/chat product polish and operator community size. At enterprise scale (1M+ calls/yr), Invoca or DialogTech earn the premium for AI conversation intelligence + enterprise governance. The waste pattern for service businesses: running paid Google Ads with no call attribution, then optimizing campaigns blind to which keywords drive phone leads — typically 30-50% of paid spend is mis-attributed. Inverse waste: paying enterprise call-tracking tiers at SMB volume when $30-100/mo WhatConverts covers the motion.
