Open-source / hosted event collection platform for capturing and forwarding product analytics-style events.
Jitsu is an open-source and hosted data collection platform in the Segment-compatible family. It ingests client and server events and can forward them to warehouses and destinations. It is a general event collector and router, not a dedicated multi-platform Conversions API client.
| Dimension | adscapi | Jitsu |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Ad conversion + audience fan-out only | Event collection and destination routing |
| How you run it | Library in your process (npm install) | Self-hosted or Jitsu Cloud |
| Billing model | Free / OSS (MIT); you bring platform tokens | Free/OSS self-host; hosted is usage/plan-based |
| Ad CAPI depth | Purpose-built multi-platform CAPI + hashing | General destinations; not CAPI-first |
| Secrets & data path | Stay in your env; direct to each platform | Through your Jitsu deployment or their cloud |
| Surfaces | Typed SDK, CLI, MCP, HTTP relay | Ingest SDKs, admin UI, destination connectors |
Billing is described by model only — check each vendor for current prices. adscapi is MIT-licensed open source; you bring your own platform tokens.
adscapi is free and open source. Set your platform tokens, call track() once, and every configured Conversions API receives the event — hashed the way each platform expects.
