Frequently asked questions

Is Sytrics a Stape alternative?

Sytrics solves a different problem than Stape. Stape is a server-side GTM hosting platform. Sytrics is a conversion event code generator — you select your sector and platforms, and get ready-to-use GTM code and CAPI guides. If you need that without managing sGTM infrastructure, Sytrics is the right fit.

Can I use Sytrics and Stape together?

Yes. You can use Sytrics to generate your GTM event code and CAPI configuration, then deploy the code through a Stape-hosted sGTM container. The tools are complementary.

Does Sytrics replace server-side tracking?

Sytrics generates the code for both browser-side (pixel) and server-side (CAPI) tracking. It does not host the server-side infrastructure — for that you can use Stape or any other sGTM host.

How much does Sytrics cost compared to Stape?

Sytrics starts at $0 free, then $12/month for Starter (3 platforms) or $29/month for Pro (all 8 platforms, CAPI guides, deduplication). Cancel anytime. Stape starts at approximately $20/month per sGTM container.
