Lead Distro AI vs WhatConverts FAQs

Is Lead Distro AI a direct replacement for WhatConverts?

It depends on the job. If you only capture your marketing leads and report on attribution, WhatConverts is the better fit. If you sell leads or calls to buyers, Lead Distro AI replaces WhatConverts and adds the layer it lacks: AI scoring before routing, four distribution methods, ping-post auctions, ring tree payouts, buyer billing, and a self-service portal.

Does WhatConverts distribute or sell leads to buyers?

No. WhatConverts is a lead tracking and attribution platform. It captures calls, forms, and chats and ties them to source, but it does not route leads to buyers, run ping-post auctions, handle ring tree pay-per-call payouts, or bill buyers. Agencies that sell leads need a separate distribution platform such as Lead Distro AI.

Which platform is cheaper?

For a single business that only tracks its own calls and forms, WhatConverts is much cheaper, starting at $30/mo. Lead Distro AI starts at a flat $299/mo because it does far more than tracking. The tools solve different problems, so it is not a price-for-price comparison. Call tracking on Lead Distro AI is usage-based on top of the flat platform.

Does Lead Distro AI handle marketing attribution like WhatConverts?

Lead Distro AI reports source, campaign, and buyer-level performance with real-time profit and loss, which covers the revenue side. It is not a client-facing multi-touch attribution and Customer Journey reporting tool the way WhatConverts is. If client attribution reporting is your main deliverable, WhatConverts is stronger; if profit-per-buyer matters more, Lead Distro AI is built for that.

Does Lead Distro AI have a free trial?

Yes, a free plan and a 7-day full-access trial, covering AI scoring, distribution, and call tracking. WhatConverts offers a 14-day trial of its lead tracking product. Setup on Lead Distro AI takes minutes, so you can see real routing and P&L results inside the week.
