TL;DR: Hyros is a powerful attribution platform trusted by high-ticket coaches and info-product businesses for accurate conversion tracking. But attribution alone doesn't create ads. Benly combines attribution with a 50M+ ad database and AI creative generation—so you know what works AND can produce more of it. Choose Hyros if you only need tracking. Choose Benly if you need tracking connected to competitive intelligence and creative production.

Why Teams Look for Hyros Alternatives

Hyros solved a real problem: accurate attribution in a post-iOS 14 world where platform reporting became unreliable. For high-ticket businesses—coaches, course creators, consultants—knowing exactly which ads drove $5,000+ purchases justified the premium pricing. When your average order value is $2,000+, paying $199-399/month for accurate tracking makes sense.

But as teams mature, friction points emerge:

  • Attribution without action: Hyros tells you which ads converted but doesn't help you create more winners. You know what worked but still need separate tools to analyze why and produce variations.
  • No competitive intelligence: Hyros tracks your ads but can't show you what competitors are running. You're making creative decisions without market context.
  • Expensive for just tracking: At $199-399/month for attribution alone, teams still need separate creative tools, ad spy subscriptions, and production solutions—total costs often exceed $500-800/month.
  • Limited creative insights: Hyros shows conversion data but not creative patterns. Which hooks work? What formats convert? You need additional tools to answer these questions.

These gaps don't make Hyros bad at attribution—it's excellent for that purpose. But teams wanting a complete creative intelligence workflow find themselves managing multiple subscriptions that don't share data or context.

Benly as a Hyros Alternative

Benly takes a different approach: integrated marketing intelligence from competitive research through creative production to performance tracking. Instead of stopping at attribution, Benly connects what competitors are doing, what's working in your campaigns, and AI-powered creative generation in one platform.

The practical difference: see which competitor ads are converting, understand why through creative analysis, generate on-brand variations with AI, launch campaigns, and track exactly which creatives drove conversions—all in one workflow without switching tools or manually connecting data.

Feature Comparison

Attribution and tracking

Hyros pioneered accurate attribution for high-ticket businesses. The platform uses server-side tracking, first-party data, and cookie-less attribution to maintain accuracy despite iOS 14+ privacy changes. For coaches selling $3,000-10,000+ programs, Hyros provides reliable conversion data that platform reporting often misses.

Benly includes comparable attribution technology with AI-powered modeling that adapts to privacy restrictions. First-party data collection, server-side events, and cross-device tracking work together to maintain accuracy. The difference: attribution connects to competitive intelligence and creative insights in the same platform.

Bottom line: Both provide reliable attribution. Choose Hyros if attribution is your only need. Choose Benly if you want attribution connected to creative intelligence.

Competitive intelligence

Hyros does not include competitive intelligence. You track your own campaigns but can't see what competitors are running, which creatives work in your market, or emerging trends in your niche.

Benly maintains 50M+ ads updated daily across Meta, TikTok, Google, and YouTube. Search by niche, competitor, format, or creative style. See exactly what top performers in your market are running—then use those insights to inform your own creative strategy.

Bottom line: Choose Hyros if you don't need competitive insights. Choose Benly if understanding competitor strategies matters to your creative process.

Creative generation

Hyros does not include creative tools. After identifying winning ads through attribution, you need separate tools like Canva, Figma, or AI platforms to create variations. Attribution data doesn't flow into your creative process.

Benly includes AI creative generation producing 100+ on-brand variations from any brief. More importantly: generate based on what's working. See a high-converting competitor ad, understand its structure, and produce your brand's version in minutes. Attribution insights directly inform creative production.

Bottom line: Choose Hyros if you have separate creative tools you're happy with. Choose Benly if you want attribution insights connected to creative production.

Analytics and reporting

Hyros provides detailed conversion funnels, LTV tracking, and ROAS reporting. The focus is financial: which ads drove revenue, what's your true CAC, how do channels compare. Reporting centers on attribution accuracy.

Benly combines financial metrics with creative performance analysis. Beyond ROAS and CAC, see which creative formats, hooks, and styles drive conversions. Natural language queries like "which UGC ads outperformed branded content this month?" provide instant answers.

Bottom line: Hyros provides excellent financial attribution reporting. Benly adds creative performance analysis to financial metrics.

High-ticket and info-product focus

Hyros specializes in high-ticket tracking with phone call attribution, CRM integrations (Infusionsoft, HubSpot, Salesforce), and long sales cycle support. The platform understands that a $10,000 course sale might take 30+ touchpoints over 90 days.

Benly handles high-ticket attribution with similar capabilities: phone tracking, CRM connections, extended lookback windows. The addition: competitive intelligence shows what top info-product creators are running, and AI generation helps produce proven high-converting formats faster.

Bottom line: Both work well for high-ticket. Benly adds competitive context and creative production specifically valuable for info-product marketing.
