Competitor pricing is each vendor's publicly listed pricing as read on the date shown, and it changes without notice: verify on the vendor's own site before relying on it. Vendors without a public price are marked as such. Comparisons set Causality Engine's one-time €99 analysis against subscription models.
Where Triple Whale falls short
- Pixel-dependent: needs its tracking script on every store page, and browser privacy controls limit what a pixel can observe
- GMV-based tiers: the subscription price rises as store revenue grows
- Correlation not causation
- Multi-touch attribution allocates credit across observed touchpoints; it is not a counterfactual estimate of what a channel caused
What Causality Engine does differently
- No pixel and no tag. It reads the GA4 export you already have, where Triple Whale needs its own tracking on the store.
- What each channel caused, next to what last-click gave it, with a data-health score on every channel.
- The first number 1–2 minutes after the upload, on whatever GA4 history you export; 12 months or more reads best.
- €99 once, excl. VAT. Pro is €299 a month, billed monthly, cancel any time.
- Full refund within 30 days, no questions asked. You keep the read.
