Comparison: Tracklution vs. ProfitMetrics Features & Functionalities

The key difference between Tracklution and ProfitMetrics can be summarized as follows:

ProfitMetrics solves the problem of "my ads look great on ROAS, but am I actually making money?" Users have noted that a rise in revenue doesn't necessarily mean a rise in profit, especially with varying product margins. It answers the profitability question at the campaign, ad set, and individual order level.

Tracklution solves the problem of "I want to send high-quality conversion signals so my ad algorithms learn how to bring me more sales." With Tracklution, you send high-quality profit signals directly to Google, Meta, and other platforms so their algorithms can actually optimize based on this data. Feeding the algorithms with better data leads to better results.

Differences between Tracklution and ProfitMetrics

ProfitMetrics is mostly a profit calculation and reporting tool

You can connect your store and ad accounts to see profit data across your campaigns in one dashboard. It calculates margins, attributes profit to channels, and gives you visibility into what's actually making you profit.

ProfitMetrics connects to your e-commerce backend, pulls in cost-of-goods and expense data, calculates per-order profit, and sends profit values as conversion values into Google Ads, Meta, and GA4.

ProfitMetrics is suitable for:

  • Profit optimization and calculating real profit per order
  • E-commerce businesses with varying product margins that want to shift from ROAS to profit-based ad optimization
  • Teams that are comfortable that the pricing scales based on order volume (check their site for current tiers).
  • If you use Google Ads, Meta and GA4 combined to a major e-commerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, etc.).

Tracklution delivers tracking data directly to ad platforms

Tracklution is server-side tracking as a service: your conversion and profit signals flow directly to Google, Meta, TikTok, and other ad platforms. Their algorithms get the data they need to optimize automatically.

With Tracklution, your data is delivered server-side, meaning your margins stay private, tracking stays accurate even with ad blockers and iOS restrictions, and you're not reliant on cookies.

Tracklution is suitable for:

  • Businesses that want ad algorithms optimizing for real profit data, not just reported conversions
  • Marketers who need complete, accurate data reaching their ad platforms without technical overhead
  • Agencies rolling out server-side tracking across multiple clients quickly and securely
  • Anyone who wants more complete and accurate conversion data without technical complexity

Step by step guide: How to implement Server-Side Tracking with Tracklution

Step 1

Install Tracking to Your Website

5-15 min

Install Tracklution pixels just as you would install any tracking pixel. This enables collecting and processing data server-side and delivering it to Ad Platforms via their Conversion APIs. 

You can utilise the few-click Shopify App and WooCommerce Plugin or your existing GTM (no need for server-side container – the existing tags, triggers, data layer, and Tracklution’s GTM templates can be utilized).

Our users typically see their conversion reporting go from 40-70% to 100% accuracy.

Step 2

Enable Custom Domain

3 min

Enable 1st-party data collection and 1st-party cookies with a simple CNAME addition in the domain's DNS settings.

This helps you in better attribution, recognising returning users, and bypassing ad blockers and similar tracking prevention techniques. This step is optional, yet highly recommended.

Step 3

Connect Ad Platforms

3 minutes

In Tracklution Dashboard you can easily connect all the needed Ad Platforms and their Conversion APIs code-free via a simple UI.

Tracklution provides seamless connections to major platforms like Google Ads, Meta Conversion API (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Bing, and Google Analytics 4.
