“I don’t actually get access to the system until you pay.”

Data Comparison
Whois Visiting and Lead Forensics’ process of IP Tracking and data collection are extremely advanced and intelligent. Both are similar, using unique tracking codes and sourcing from various databases to identify website visitors as accurately as possible.
Business identification rate will always vary from website-to-website, system-to-system, industry-to-industry. Identification rates can range between 8-20% across all website tracking platforms.
Company Identification Comparison - Monthly | ||
Unique Monthly Users | Lead Forensics | Whois Visiting |
Up to 1K Unique Visitors | 80-200 companies | 80-200 companies |
Up to 2K Unique Visitors | 160-400 companies | 160-400 companies |
Up to 4K Unique Visitors | 320 - 800 companies | 320 - 800 companies |
Up to 10K Unique Visitors | 800 - 2000 companies | 800 - 2000 companies |
We are continuously working to enhance the number of businesses we can identify and to then enrich the quality of that data.
We encourage you to run both platforms side-by-side for a two week period to get the clearest indication of results, functionality and experience.
Does Lead Forensics have a higher identification rate?
No. There is not a direct correlation between the amount of money you spend on website visitor tracking, and the quantity of website visitors you will identify. Identification rate is a constant. Therefore, it is actually the process of putting more money and intelligent efforts into research, marketing and advertising campaigns which will impact the traffic numbers on your website, consequently creating more potential identifications.
Can we compare our Lead Forensics Data with Whois Data?
We would encourage you to do so. In fact, please do not commit to any agreements until you have done so. It is highly-recommended that you run a Free Trial side-by-side to give the clearest indication of experience, functionality and data quality. Contact us to arrange a data comparison session.
Lead Forensics Pricing
Whois Visiting and Lead Forensics are similar tools which identify businesses visiting your website through installation of a unique tracking code.
Lead Forensics charge a higher price for their IP Tracking Solution – up to five times more.
Despite this, you will not receive five times the amount of business leads – or five times as much value from the tool.
With Lead Forensics, Whois, or any alternative tracking solution, the identification rate is a constant. The variable factor is the marketing output and how you choose to proactively follow-up with opportunities.
Adding the Lead Forensics tracking code to your website does not give you an external increase in traffic.
- It can’t improve your ranking in the search engine.
- It won’t give you a better click-through rate on your advertising.
- It is not a cold data / lead list service, where you pay more and get a bigger sample.
The intention of providing a more affordable solution is to give your business more budget to use on marketing activity and therefore have the potential to identify more businesses, generate more leads and increase sales revenue.

Why are Lead Forensics More Expensive?
Founded in 2009, Lead Forensics could dictate the cost of their product because there was no competition providing alternative value or functionalities. Whois has now delivered the market with an equally as (if not more) effective system, at a sustainable cost, with an ambitious data vision. We are more than just a website visitor tracking software.
Cost-per Business Identified
A different perspective when considering data and pricing of website visitor tracking software.
Average Cost Per Business Identified | ||
Unique Monthly Users | Lead Forensics | Whois Visiting |
Up to 1K Unique Visitors | £3.13 | 0.48p |
Up to 2K Unique Visitors | £1.30 | 0.27p |
Up to 4K Unique Visitors | 0.92p | 0.19p |
Up to 10K Unique Visitors | 0.51p | 0.13p |
Average Cost | £1.46 | 0.26p |
Cost-per Lead
Whilst we can calculate an average cost-per business identified, not every one of those companies is going to be a new business lead. Some of the website visitors will be current clients, returning users or non-relevant sessions. Still extremely valuable data and insights.
The cost-per lead will depend on how many of the businesses identified meet your lead generation requirements. Every business has their own lead scoring formula. There will also be different categories of leads and prospects who match in different stages of criteria in your sales funnel.
You can filter the company by creating trigger alerts which match the specific conditions you would consider as leads.
Using variables such as time spent on a website, number of pages visited, if they trigger a key page or if the business is from a particular industry.
Return on Investment
Return on Investment (ROI) is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. Understand the potential ROI and look at the quality and the impact of the data. Beyond the quantity itself which essentially means nothing without a result.
We can try to predict the ROI using a variable projection formula.
Free Trial Comparison
We offer a 14-day Free Trial. This is a full access period, with no restriction to any functionality, feature or service which is not available to a paying client.
In the trial period we will give you every support to take advantage of each day to the maximum potential. Firstly you can take some time to explore the platform for yourself. Then book in a demonstration to receive a complete overview of each area of the tool.
Lead Forensics Free Trial
Lead Forensics Do Not Offer Access To Their Dashboard During The ‘Trial’.
Therefore, it is less of a trial of the system but a process of receiving a sample of data and companies. This will be a well-polished document, displaying an excellent and possibly surprisingly positive identification rate of Companies VS Internet Service Providers.
There is no opportunity to utilise any features or to receive real-time visitor notifications.
For pure business identification purposes, this is fair enough. You want to see the number of leads you can collect over the course of a two week period.
But the transition between what you receive during the trial and then an alternative approach once you are a paying user, there is difficulty to guarantee a consistent level of quality.
