Why ecommerce brands choose Admetrics over adtribute

adtribute tunes attribution rules and reports together with its data team. Admetrics learns the model from your own orders and carries it through to profit and the budget.

Attribution that learns from your orders

adtribute's standard models are rule-based (first touch, last touch, linear, position based, full impact, channel impact), and custom models are built from windows, filters and distribution rules that its data team helps calibrate. Admetrics puts the standard models side by side and adds Adaptive Attribution. It learns from your own customer journeys which channels open a sale, which keep it going and which close it, keeps adapting as your mix changes, and treats new and returning customers separately.

Move the budget where you read the number

adtribute's Chrome extension shows its numbers inside Meta Ads Manager, and budget changes stay in the ad platforms. Admetrics changes campaign and ad set budgets on Meta, Google, TikTok and Bing from the view where you read the numbers, and logs every change. Ad Pilot goes further on Meta. Every hour it scales, cuts or pauses campaigns against your CAC, POAS or new-customer ROAS targets, inside the caps you set.

See what every order earned

adtribute's BI dashboards on its Insights plan report revenue, COGS, CM1 and CM2. Admetrics computes a full P&L for every order and product on every plan, from gross revenue through COGS, shipping, payment fees and returns down to CM3 and EBITDA. Each campaign and ad then carries a POAS based on what its orders actually kept.

Run it yourself, with every number open

adtribute delivers its reports in Looker Studio, where new charts and metrics go through its support team, and in-app boards are still rolling out. Admetrics comes with 100+ KPIs and fully customizable reports, and it shows your creatives as video previews and thumbnails next to their spend and POAS. Every plan includes an MCP server and a Data API, which let Claude, ChatGPT or your own systems read the same numbers as your dashboards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is adtribute?+

adtribute is a marketing attribution and analytics platform for ecommerce and lead-gen companies, made by Adtribute Software GmbH in Germering, Germany. It tracks first-party on your own domain, splits credit with rule-based and custom attribution models, and reports in attribution and BI dashboards. Its own pages say it works best for brands doing 7–9 figures in revenue, with a paid data team for custom analysis.

How much does adtribute cost?+

adtribute's Attribution plan starts at €449 a month and its Insights plan at €549 a month. The final price depends on your net revenue and the features you need. Add-ons cost extra: Actions (conversion postbacks, data syncs) from €169 a month, data warehouse exports from €89 a month and the Data Team at €1,499 a month on Insights. Admetrics lists its plans: Growth from $399 a month, Business from $899 a month and Custom on quote, each with a 21-day free trial.

How is Admetrics attribution different from adtribute's?+

adtribute's models follow rules: first touch, last touch, linear, position based, full impact, channel impact, or a custom model built from windows, filters and distribution rules. Admetrics shows the standard models side by side and adds Adaptive Attribution, which learns from your own customer journeys how much credit each channel earns and keeps adapting as your mix changes. In both tools you can choose any attribution window, including unlimited.

Does adtribute send conversions back to Meta and Google?+

Yes. Through its Actions add-on, adtribute uploads conversions to Meta, Google, Outbrain and Taboola. Admetrics sends conversions server-to-server to Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Outbrain and Taboola, and the bidding on each platform learns from people who actually bought.

Can adtribute change ad budgets?+

No. adtribute reports where conversions came from, and its Chrome extension shows those numbers inside Meta Ads Manager, while budget changes stay in the ad platforms. Admetrics changes campaign and ad set budgets on Meta, Google, TikTok and Bing from its own interface, and Ad Pilot scales, cuts or pauses Meta campaigns every hour against your CAC or POAS targets.

What do adtribute reviews say?+

adtribute holds 4.8 on G2 (24 reviews) and 4.5 on Trustpilot (26 reviews). Admetrics holds 4.8 on G2 and 5.0 on the Shopify App Store.

How long does it take to switch from adtribute to Admetrics?+

Admetrics setup takes about an hour: connect the shop and the ad accounts, add the tracking, and the first data comes in. Run Admetrics next to adtribute during the 21-day free trial and compare both on the same orders before you cancel anything.
