Cometly is server-side ad attribution that tracks the real cost per acquisition — first-party data sent directly to Meta CAPI and Google Ads API to fill the gaps iOS privacy changes created.
Server-side CAPI bypasses iOS 14+ tracking restrictions and ad blockers
First-party data improves Meta and Google algorithm training, reducing CPA over time
True attribution links ad spend to actual revenue, not just clicks
Multi-touch attribution shows full customer journey across paid and organic
Cometly is a server-side ad attribution platform built for the post-iOS-14 reality where Meta, TikTok and Google can no longer see most conversions client-side. We picked it because the conversion API setup is genuinely simpler than rolling your own GTM server, and the multi-touch reporting pulls Meta and Google data into one revenue view that matches Shopify and Stripe more closely than the platforms do alone.
How it works
You install a tracking script and a server-side endpoint, then connect Shopify, Stripe, Recharge, Klaviyo or your own webhook. Cometly captures first-party visitor IDs, stores attribution server-side, and forwards conversion events to Meta CAPI, TikTok Events API, Google Ads enhanced conversions and Pinterest. Reporting then stitches sessions, ad clicks and revenue into a multi-touch model with first-touch, last-touch and linear views.
You also get cohort-level lift analysis: revenue from a campaign over a week, broken out by ad creative, with the platform-reported numbers next to Cometly's server-side numbers so you can quantify the under-reporting. The point is not to replace Meta Ads Manager — it is to give you a second source of truth.
Pricing reality
Plans scale with monthly visitors and conversions. Starter from $208/month covers smaller stores, Pro from $416/month opens up multi-account and agency features, and higher tiers handle larger spend. Annual billing knocks roughly 20% off. Versus Triple Whale or Northbeam, Cometly is in the same ballpark for mid-market DTC; against a homegrown GTM server-side setup, it is more expensive but materially less engineering work.

Who should buy, who should skip
Buy if you spend more than around $30k/month on Meta, TikTok or Google, and the platforms' reported ROAS no longer matches your bank account. The server-side conversion lift alone often pays for the contract.
Skip if your spend is under $10k/month or you have a data engineer on staff who would rather build GTM server-side. The economics flip below that threshold.
Cometly deal
Click through the verified link for the current Cometly promotion. We re-check pricing monthly.
Founders running Shopify stores across Facebook, Google, and TikTok use Cometly to see true ROAS per channel. Instead of guessing whether a $5k Facebook spend generated $15k or $8k in revenue, Cometly maps the full path to purchase. This cuts wasted ad spend and helps founders double down on channels that actually convert.

What members say
“Justified the cost in the first month on Meta spend alone”
“Real revenue attribution changed how we allocate budget”
“Recovered 40% of conversions hidden by iOS tracking changes”
It captures conversions server-side using first-party data, then forwards them to Meta CAPI, TikTok Events API and Google enhanced conversions so the ad platforms can optimise on cleaner signal.
Does Cometly replace Meta Ads Manager?
No. It runs alongside as a second source of truth. The platforms still serve and bid; Cometly tells you what really converted.
How does Cometly compare to Triple Whale?
Both target DTC. Triple Whale is Shopify-native with a big community; Cometly tends to be cheaper at mid-market and supports lead-gen better. Validate both on a trial.
Is there a free plan?
No, just a free trial. Plans start around $208/month on annual billing.
Will Cometly slow down my site?
The script is lightweight and the heavy lifting happens server-side, so Core Web Vitals are rarely affected.
Does Cometly work for lead-gen, not just ecommerce?
Yes. Webhook ingestion lets lead-gen advertisers send qualified-lead or revenue events; the same multi-touch reporting applies.
