Attribution App: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Multi-touch attribution software that ties ad spend to individual customer journeys

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Attribution App?

Attribution App is multi-touch marketing attribution software that shows which ads, channels and campaigns lead to signups, deals and revenue for B2B, SaaS and ecommerce companies. It connects website visits, ad costs and CRM or payment data, then assigns credit across touchpoints using models such as first touch, linear and time decay. The product is sold under the name Attribution and is often called Attribution App after its domain.

A key difference is that Attribution ties ad cost to individual user journeys. That lets teams calculate customer acquisition cost, ROAS, payback period and LTV to CAC by channel or campaign, and trace every number back to the underlying visits. It also offers media mix modeling and incrementality testing, and pricing is based on tracked users rather than ad spend.

How does Attribution App work?

  1. Connect your data source

    You connect a primary source such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Segment or Shopify, or add the website tracking script, so visits and conversions flow in.

  2. Link ad accounts and revenue

    Ad platforms like Google, Meta and LinkedIn send cost data, and tools such as Stripe or your CRM supply revenue and deal outcomes.

  3. Pick an attribution model

    Choose from five models and several modes, such as excluding direct traffic or cutting off at a trial event, to match your sales cycle.

  4. Report and send back conversions

    Review CAC, ROAS and LTV reports by channel, then send attribution-weighted conversions back to ad platforms to improve their optimization.

Attribution App key features

Multi-touch attribution models

First touch, last touch, linear, time decay and position-based models, each with modes for excluding direct visits or stopping at a cutoff event.

User-level cost data

Ad spend is allocated to individual user journeys, which makes per-user CAC, ROAS and payback calculations possible.

Auditable reporting

Any metric can be traced back to the visits, touchpoints and cost allocations behind it, which helps when finance asks questions.

Media mix modeling and incrementality

Alongside multi-touch attribution, teams can run geo holdout and synthetic control tests to measure true lift.

Conversion API

Sends attribution-weighted conversions back to Google, Meta, LinkedIn and Microsoft so their bidding algorithms learn from real outcomes.

Raw data export

A paid add-on exports visit-level and user-level data to warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery and S3.

MCP server

Lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor query your marketing data in plain language.
