Key Differences
Platform vs. Architecture Service
Ruler Analytics provides attribution software you configure yourself. Monthly subscription platform that assumes your tracking is set up properly and data inputs are consistent across channels.
We architect your complete attribution solution. Fix tracking foundations, design attribution logic for your business, implement the system, train your team. Service, not software.
Data Foundation Requirements
Platform works if your UTM tracking is clean and consistent. If tracking discipline is weak or data inputs are messy, attribution results will be unreliable. Assumes infrastructure exists.
We build the data foundation first. Audit current tracking, establish UTM standards, fix data pipelines, ensure clean inputs. Attribution only works with clean data—we make data clean first.
Ongoing Costs
Monthly SaaS subscription fees (£199-799+/month) that scale with volume. Ongoing platform licensing costs as long as you use attribution tracking. Continuous expense.
One-time project implementation ($15K-$50K). No ongoing platform fees. Optional monthly management retainer if you want continued optimization support after deployment.

Which Solution Is Right for You?
Choose Ruler Analytics If:
- Your marketing tracking is already clean and consistent across channels, and you just need software to connect campaigns to revenue outcomes without data foundation work.
- You have someone on your team who can configure attribution models, maintain integrations, and interpret platform data independently without external support.
- You prefer monthly subscription pricing and want a platform you can log into daily rather than a one-time implementation service with optional ongoing support.
Choose AI Process Automation If:
- Your UTM discipline is inconsistent, tracking setup is messy, or you're not confident your data foundation supports accurate attribution measurement without significant cleanup.
- You need someone to design your attribution strategy specifically for your business model and customer journey—not generic platform configuration assuming standard processes.
- You want to avoid ongoing monthly platform fees and prefer one-time implementation that builds infrastructure you control without recurring subscription costs.
- Your team is lean and you don't have a marketing ops specialist who can maintain platform integrations and optimize attribution models over time independently.
