Why teams switch

Why B2B SaaS teams choose Cometly over Northbeam.

The pattern we hear from operators evaluating both: they need attribution that understands a SaaS funnel, integrates with the CRM they already run, and pushes deal-stage events back to Meta, Google, and LinkedIn with high match quality.

Built around demos, calls, and CRM stages

Booked demos, attended calls, MQL, SQL, opportunity, and closed-won flow in natively from HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Attio, HighLevel, Pipedrive, and Calendly, and each stage is attributed to the campaign that started it.

Company-level attribution built in

Account Journeys roll every contact at an account into one timeline, so buying committees are attributed as one account and channels get credit for moving the whole deal.

Stripe subscription revenue per campaign

Payments, subscriptions, trials, and refunds tied to source, so you see MRR, expansion, churn, and LTV by campaign.

Conversion API with 9.3 / 10 match quality

14+ parameters per event so Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok optimize toward demos and closed-won deals.

FAQ

Cometly vs Northbeam.

The questions B2B SaaS teams ask most when evaluating both platforms.

Talk to sales
Does Cometly attribute at the company level?

Yes. Account Journeys merge every contact at an account into one chronological timeline, so multi-person buying committees are attributed as one account, and revenue is credited to the ads, content, and reps that actually moved the deal.

Does Cometly work for D2C / ecommerce?

Cometly is built and positioned for B2B SaaS attribution. The SKU and merchandising analytics that pure D2C tools focus on aren't our priority. If you primarily need product affinity and COGS analytics, a D2C-specialist tool will be a better fit.

Can Cometly track a long B2B sales cycle?

Yes. Cometly supports attribution windows from 1 day to lifetime LTV, with deep HubSpot and Salesforce integration so deals that take 30, 60, or 180 days to close stay attributed back to the campaigns that started them.

How does Cometly price?

Two plans (Core and Enterprise), usage-based and tailored to your existing website sessions and ad spend. Quote-on-request with the full feature list and tier structure on /pricing.

Will I lose the data I have today?

Cometly captures data going forward. Historical journeys can't be back-filled because our pixel needs to be live to record them. Most teams run Cometly in parallel for 2 to 4 weeks so they can compare numbers side by side before fully switching over.
