Reaktion vs. Stape

Server-side tracking, plus the profit Stape never shows you.

Stape hands you an empty server you still have to wire up in GTM. Reaktion is plug-and-play server-side tracking that also turns your data into true POAS, profit and CLV, then feeds it back to Google, Meta, TikTok and Klaviyo. Live in minutes, no developer required.

Switched from Stape
"We came to Reaktion to replace Stape for server-side tracking, and got far more than we expected. Setup took minutes instead of a full GTM project, the event quality is excellent, and now we actually see POAS and true profit, not just events firing into a server."

“Using Reaktion feels like having Triple Whale, Stape and SuperMetrics rolled into one. It’s also more affordable, on far more platforms, and the agency module manages every client from one login.”

Common questions

Everything you need to switch with confidence.

Is Reaktion’s tracking really server-side?
Yes. Full server-side tracking on your own first-party data, Consent Mode v2 compliant, with around 37% more orders tracked on average versus pixel-only setups.
Do I need a GTM developer like with Stape?
No. Stape gives you a server container you configure yourself in Google Tag Manager. Reaktion is plug-and-play — most stores are live in under 10 minutes, and every plan includes a free onboarding call.
What does Reaktion track that Stape doesn’t show me?
Stape moves events, it doesn’t surface them. Reaktion turns the same data into true POAS, profit after returns, CLV, product and new-customer metrics, and sends profit back to Google Ads and Meta.
Can I migrate from Stape?
Yes. Connect your store and channels, keep your existing setup running alongside Reaktion, and switch once you trust the event quality and the new metrics.
How does pricing compare?
Stape pricing scales with server usage and requests. Reaktion is an all-in-one platform — tracking plus profit optimization, reporting and BI — priced by stores and monthly orders.
Is my data secure and compliant?
Yes. First-party, server-side data, fully aligned with Google Consent Mode v2, hosted in EU data centers in Stockholm and Frankfurt.
