Ruler Analytics

Closed-loop attribution and call tracking for lead-gen marketers

Ruler Analytics is an ad management & attribution tool for Small businesses and Agencies, offered as paid ($400/mo). Based in United Kingdom. Popular alternatives include Tulu, Supermetrics, Everflow.

About Ruler Analytics

Ruler Analytics is a marketing attribution platform built in Liverpool, UK. It started around 2012 inside Epic New Media, an SEO and PPC agency run by Ian Leadbetter and Daniel Reilly. Ruler was later spun out as its own company with backing from the North West Fund. Its core job is to tie every form fill, call or chat to the visit and campaign that created it, then match the revenue that closes later in the CRM back to that source.

A first-party tracking tag stores each visitor's touchpoints, dynamic number insertion handles call tracking, and form and chat capture fill in the rest. Ruler pulls deal values from the CRM and pushes offline conversions and revenue back to ad platforms so smart bidding optimises for sales instead of leads. Pricing is set by monthly website visits: Small starts at $400 a month, Medium adds advanced segmentation plus data-driven and impression attribution, and Advanced adds marketing mix modelling and an AI analyst agent. Every plan includes a customer success manager and onboarding; there is no free plan.

Ruler fits businesses where the sale happens offline or weeks later: B2B services, legal, finance and automotive. It is expensive for small sites, and Shopify-first brands get more from ecommerce tools. Hyros targets high-ticket info products and call funnels, while Northbeam and Rockerbox focus on ecommerce and media mix.

Buying tip: because tiers scale with traffic rather than leads, content-heavy sites with few conversions pay more per lead. Ask about the 10% annual discount and agency partner rates.
