Which one is for you

Pick Elevar if

  • Fits if you run a Shopify store with several ad platforms
  • Works for stores under 100 orders a month on the free plan

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free, as Base stops at 100 orders and 2 destinations
  • Pricey if your orders grow, since overage is $0.75 to $0.10 per order
  • Watch out: expert installation is $1,000 ($4,500 for headless) and analyst services $500 to $1,000 a month
  • Watch out: multi-storefront tracking, global markets and the API need Advanced at $650
  • Watch out: Elevar is now part of Audiense

Pick Littledata if

  • Fits if your ad platforms report fewer orders than your Shopify store records
  • Works for a Shopify brand that wants tracking set up without hiring a developer

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it only runs there
  • Tight if you're staying free: there's no free plan, only a 30-day trial
  • Pricey if you grow, since Scale goes from $159 a month at 1,500 orders to $219 at 2,000
  • Watch out: support SLAs and managed onboarding are only on Plus, from $792 a month

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
