The best Qliker alternative depends on which Qliker plan you are on

The cheapest alternative depends on the traffic you send, not the plan you are on. Published September 2026 prices, band by band, and the ten-minute import.

There is no single best alternative to Qliker. There is a best alternative for the traffic you actually send, and the answer at 10,000 clicks a month is not the answer at a million and a half.

Qliker sells three plans — Small at $45 for 15,000 clicks, Medium at $95 for 150,000, Large at $195 for 1,500,000. But the plan you are on is not the same as the traffic you send, and that gap is where the money is. Find your real monthly volume below.

The answer, by what you actually send

The awkward row is the middle one, and we left it in. Between 100,000 and 150,000 clicks Qliker's Medium plan is four dollars cheaper than our Scale plan, because our Growth plan stops at a hundred thousand. Above 150,000 that reverses hard: they go to $195 and we stay at $99.

The last row is theirs outright. Our Scale plan stops at a million clicks; Qliker's Large goes to a million and a half. Past that ceiling this page has no answer for you.

If you are on Qliker Small

This is where most Qliker accounts sit, and it is the one tier where the answer is easy.

$45 for 15,000 clicks is $3 per thousand. Most accounts on that plan are not sending fifteen thousand clicks — they are sending five or eight and paying for the headroom. If that is you, our Starter plan is $12 for 10,000 and the bill drops by nearly three quarters for the same traffic.

If you genuinely do send fifteen thousand, Starter is too small and you are on Growth at $39 — still under Qliker's $45, but by six dollars rather than by a landslide. Everything else on the chart is either a free tier with strings or a plan sized for a million events that you would be renting at a nineteenth of capacity.

1,500,000 a month$195not offeredRedTrack $79 · Peerclick $99 · Binom $149

At exactly 150,000 the two of us are within four dollars of each other. Anywhere from there up to a million we are half Qliker's price. Above a million our Scale plan runs out and theirs does not.

And on any of those rows, two others are cheaper than both of us. RedTrack at $79 is flat whatever you send. BeMob at $49 is cheaper still if you can live with a rolling 30-day history on that plan. Binom at $149 has no ceiling, if you are willing to run the server. Come to us at these volumes for the per-click evidence below, not for the invoice.

What you actually gain by moving

Price is why people start looking. It is rarely why they stay.

Every click through a ClickLookup link gets a quality score worked out in the milliseconds before the redirect — the network the address belongs to, whether it has been seen before, whether the browser's story holds together, the country against the one you bought, how fast the visit followed the last one. The score is written down with the click and never thrown away.

A bot click in the log: datacentre network, headless browser, flagged and scored 24
A bot click in the log: datacentre network, headless browser, flagged and scored 24

Third row: a datacentre visit through a headless browser, flagged bot and filtered, scored 24. Still in the log, still timestamped. That is the difference between telling a traffic seller you think it was fake and sending them a file.

Then there is the boring, decisive stuff. CSV export of the raw rows, custom tracking domains and owner/editor/viewer roles are on every plan. Postbacks and webhooks land on Growth, and the full REST API and bulk import on Scale.

Where we cost you. There is no permanently free plan: 14 days on 500 clicks a month, no card, and then it stops. Growth stops at 100,000 clicks, which is the one band where Qliker undercuts us. Scale stops at a million, so above that we have nothing to sell you. And we are the newest tool in this list, which is fair to hold against us.

Moving across, step by step

Whichever way you go, do this part the same way.

  1. 1Copy your Qliker API key. Dashboard → API → Generate API token.
  2. 2Open Tools → Import and paste it in. The key is used once and never stored.
  3. 3Press Start import. Nothing is written until every page has been read, so a wrong key fails cleanly instead of leaving you half moved.
  4. 4Read the summary — links, rotators, URLs, groups and domains, counted.

Links, archived ones includedClick history — Qliker's API does not expose it
Rotators and URLs, rotation mode keptConversions already recorded
Groups, so links arrive organisedYour old reports
Custom domains, ready to point
Filters: B, F and N become block, flag, off
Targeting: mobile, iOS, geo, browser, system become rules

Your slugs are kept wherever they are still free; only a taken one gets a new random slug. Every imported link is tagged qliker-import so you can find the batch in one filter. Domains arrive unverified — point the CNAME, verify, done.

Only if you let them.

  • Links on your own domain are safe. Add the domain at the new tracker, change the DNS when you are ready, and every printed, embedded and network-side link keeps working. The slug comes with it.
  • Links on Qliker's shared domain cannot move. That hostname is not yours. Which is the argument for a custom tracking domain on day one, wherever you end up.

Run both accounts for a fortnight. The old one keeps your history, the new one starts collecting the day you point a domain at it, and you export anything you need as CSV before you close the old one. That advice holds whichever tracker you pick — including if you later leave ours.

Frequently asked

What is the best Qliker alternative overall? It depends on what you send. Under 10,000 clicks, ClickLookup at $12 against Qliker's $45. From 150,000 to a million, ClickLookup at $99 against their $195. Above a million and a half, RedTrack at $79 flat — we do not sell a plan that big.

Is there a free alternative to Qliker? BeMob and Peerclick both give 100,000 events a month free. BeMob's free plan keeps one month of history, so export before it rolls. We do not have a free plan — 14 days on 500 clicks a month with no card, and then it ends.

Will I lose my click history? Yes, wherever you go. Qliker's API does not expose it, so no tracker can import it. Export what you need before you close the account.

How long does the move take? The import itself is about ten minutes. The sensible schedule is a fortnight of running both.
