Where Triple Whale falls short

  • Pixel-dependent (40-60% iOS data loss)
  • GMV-based pricing punishes growth
  • Correlation not causation
  • Can't measure incrementality

There's a third option

Both Triple Whale and Northbeam rely on tracking-based attribution. Causality Engine uses Bayesian causal inference — no pixels, no code, 2-minute setup, €99 to start.
