Klixsor vs Voluum
In one sentence: Voluum is a cloud tracker priced by event volume, while Klixsor is a flat-rate licence you host yourself — so Voluum costs less to start and Klixsor costs less as traffic grows, and only Klixsor keeps the click data on your own infrastructure.
The short answer
Voluum is a cloud-hosted tracker billed by event volume: you pay a monthly plan fee, and if you exceed the events included in that plan you pay $0.03–$0.06 per 1,000 events once the plan limit is passed. Klixsor is licensed software you install on a server you control, billed at a flat monthly rate with no per-click or per-event component, so cost does not move with traffic.
That single difference — where the software runs and what the meter counts — drives almost every other distinction between them.
Pricing side by side
Voluum
| Plan | Price | Included events |
|---|---|---|
| Profit | $119/mo | up to 1,000,000 events |
| Scale | $299/mo | up to 5,000,000 events |
| Start-up | $539/mo | up to 10,000,000 events |
| Agency | $799/mo | 25,000,000 events |

Klixsor — self-hosted licence
| Plan | Price | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $49/mo | 10 campaigns, 3 domains, 1 user |
| Professional | $99/mo | 50 campaigns, 10 domains, 5 users |
| Enterprise | $199/mo | Unlimited campaigns, domains and users |
Klixsor plans limit campaigns, domains and users rather than traffic. Clicks and data retention are unlimited on every paid plan, because the data sits in your own database. You also pay for the server, typically $5–$15/month for a VPS that handles ordinary affiliate volume.
Klixsor Cloud — managed
| Plan | Price | Server |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Starter | $59/mo | 4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM / 150 GB SSD |
| Cloud Pro | $85/mo | 6 vCPU / 12 GB RAM / 200 GB SSD |
| Cloud Enterprise | $120/mo | 8 vCPU / 24 GB RAM / 400 GB SSD |
If you want Klixsor without running a server, Klixsor Cloud provisions a dedicated VPS with automatic updates, daily encrypted backups and monitoring. A one-time setup fee applies and regional pricing varies.
What actually differs
| Klixsor | Voluum | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Your server, or a dedicated VPS you own via Klixsor Cloud | Cloud-hosted SaaS |
| Billing model | Flat monthly licence | Subscription plus per-event overages |
| Cost as traffic grows | Unchanged | Rises with event volume |
| Who holds the click data | You — it never leaves your infrastructure | The vendor's platform |
| Data retention | Unlimited; you control the database | Set by plan |
| Infrastructure to operate | Yes, unless you use Klixsor Cloud | None |
| Redirect path | Your own domain and server | Vendor infrastructure |
Where Voluum is the better choice
Being straightforward about this is more useful than pretending otherwise:
- Fully managed — there is no server for you to run, patch or monitor.
- A long track record and a large integration catalogue.
- Infrastructure scales without any action from you as volume grows.
Pick Voluum if you would rather pay per event than run infrastructure, and predictable ops matter more to you than predictable cost.
Where Klixsor is the better choice
- Your volume is high or unpredictable. At 20 million events a month, event-priced plans are in the hundreds of dollars; a flat licence plus a VPS is not.
- You want to own the click data. Self-hosted means the visit, click and conversion records live in your PostgreSQL and ClickHouse instances, on your machine.
- You need retention beyond a plan window. Historical data is bounded by your disk, not by a tier.
- You want the redirect on your own infrastructure — no third-party hostname in the click path.
What you give up by self-hosting
A server to keep alive. Klixsor ships a one-line installer and an in-dashboard updater, and Klixsor Cloud removes the work entirely, but a self-hosted tracker is still infrastructure you are responsible for. If that is unwelcome, a managed tracker is a reasonable trade and Voluum is a credible one.
Frequently asked questions
Is Klixsor a drop-in replacement for Voluum?
Functionally the core is comparable — campaigns, flows, landing pages, offers, postback conversion tracking and bot filtering. The migration work is re-creating campaigns and repointing traffic source and affiliate network URLs at your own domain instead of the vendor's.
Which is cheaper, Klixsor or Voluum?
It depends entirely on volume. Voluum starts lower in absolute terms on its entry plan, but its cost rises with events tracked. Klixsor's licence is flat, so the more traffic you run the more the flat model favours Klixsor. Add $5–$15/month for a VPS if you self-host.
Do I need to run a server to use Klixsor?
Not necessarily. The self-hosted licence installs on any VPS with a one-line command, but Klixsor Cloud provisions and manages a dedicated server for you, with automatic updates, daily encrypted backups and monitoring.
Does Klixsor limit how many clicks I can track?
No. Paid plans limit campaigns, domains and users, not traffic. Clicks and data retention are unlimited because the data is stored in your own database.
Can I try Klixsor before buying?
There is a publicly accessible live demo at demo.klixsor.com with no signup required. Klixsor does not currently offer a free trial licence; plans are billed from checkout and are month-to-month, so you can cancel at any time.
