“20-minute setup” looks different in practice

WhatConverts' call tracking needs a number pool decision before you've seen a single lead. Lead Recorder skips that step entirely because it isn't tracking calls — just where the click came from.

WhatConverts
Setting up call + form tracking
  1. 1.Add the tracking script (manual, GTM, or WordPress plugin)
  2. 2.Set up a number pool for call tracking
  3. 3.Decide: one all-traffic pool, or per-campaign pools
  4. 4.Connect forms, chat, and any integrations you need

“Which pool do I put this campaign in again?”

Lead Recorder
Setting up lead attribution
  1. 1.Paste one script tag in your site header
  2. 2.Done. Leads start appearing in your feed

“Two minutes, and I'm already seeing leads.”

Here's the dashboard you'd be looking at

No re-created UI, no stock screenshots. This is what it looks like once you're logged in.

We use this ourselves, every day

Lead Recorder isn't a landing page for a tool nobody runs on real client traffic.

One flat price.
No usage bill at the end of the month.

WhatConverts bundles a usage credit into each plan, then charges per lead, per call minute, and per phone number once you go over it. Lead Recorder plans include unlimited leads at every paid tier — the price you see is the price you pay.

WhatConverts charges on top of the base plan for each lead, call minute, phone number, and transcription minute over the bundled credit — the striped section represents that uncapped overage, not a fixed amount.

Your Lead Recorder plan

Estimate only. Assumes WhatConverts' single-account Plus plan ($60/mo with a $30 usage credit, then 10¢ per form, chat, or transaction lead beyond that — their published rate as of July 2026). Excludes call tracking, which Lead Recorder doesn't offer. Your actual WhatConverts bill also depends on phone numbers, call minutes, and transcription, which aren't included here.

Switching over doesn't need a migration

You don't have to cancel WhatConverts to try Lead Recorder. Run both side by side and compare what each one shows you.

01

Add Lead Recorder alongside WhatConverts

Paste the Lead Recorder script tag into your site header next to your existing WhatConverts tracking. Both run at the same time, no conflicts.

02

Run them in parallel for a week

Compare the leads each tool shows you for the same traffic. We're confident our attribution holds up next to theirs.

03

Cancel WhatConverts when you're confident

If Lead Recorder is showing you what you need at a fraction of the price, downgrade or cancel your WhatConverts plan whenever you're ready.

Common questions

Straight answers, including where WhatConverts is the better fit.

Is Lead Recorder a full replacement for WhatConverts?

Not if you need phone call tracking, call recording, chat tracking, or a large integration marketplace — WhatConverts covers all of that. Lead Recorder is built specifically for one job: showing you which marketing source (Google Ads, SEO keyword, social, referral) drove each form submission or phone-number click. If that's the job you need done, Lead Recorder does it with a lot less setup and no usage-based fees.

Why is Lead Recorder cheaper?

Mostly because it does less, on purpose. WhatConverts prices for call infrastructure (phone numbers, call minutes, transcription) that Lead Recorder doesn't provide. Our flat $0/$19/$49/$199 plans cover unlimited leads and sites at each tier with no per-lead or per-minute charges.

Does Lead Recorder track phone leads at all?

We detect when a visitor clicks a phone number or link on your site and attribute that click to its source. We don't do dynamic number insertion, call recording, or transcription — if you need to know what was actually said on a call, WhatConverts is the right tool.

Can agencies use Lead Recorder for multiple clients?

Yes. The Agency plan is $199/mo flat for unlimited client sites with white-label branding and shareable client links included, no per-client or per-sub-account pricing.
