Causality Engine vs Wicked Reports: at a glance
Short answer: Keep Wicked Reports. Causality Engine is not a replacement for it: it installs nothing and reads the GA4 export you already have, so it adds a read of what each channel caused on top of Wicked Reports' click-based multi-touch attribution, for €99.

Causality Engine installs nothing on your site. It reads the GA4 export you already have, so it runs on top of any tool here without touching its setup. The one condition: GA4 runs on your store too. “Not stated” means we could not find it on the vendor's own pages or listings on 12 October 2026; it does not mean the feature is missing.

Why Wicked Reports Falls Short for Modern eCommerce
The Problem with Correlation-Based Attribution
Correlation does not equal causation.
Causality Engine: Causal Inference
Causality Engine, based in the Netherlands, is built on causal inference.
How It Works: A Technical Overview
Causality Engine uses causal inference on the GA4 history you already have to estimate what each channel caused.
For more details on our features, see our /pricing page.
Making the Switch
You can start with a one-time analysis for just €99 to see the power of causal inference on your own data.

- AttributionAttribution identifies user actions that contribute to a desired outcome and assigns value to each. It reveals which marketing touchpoints drive conversions.
- Causal AnalysisCausal Analysis identifies true cause-and-effect relationships in data, moving beyond correlation to show how marketing actions directly impact outcomes.
- Causal InferenceCausal inference is the set of methods for estimating how much an outcome changes because of a cause, rather than alongside it. It works by comparing what happened with an estimate of what would have happened without the cause.
- CausalityCausality is the relationship where one event directly causes another, essential for identifying specific actions that drive desired outcomes in marketing.
- CorrelationCorrelation is a statistical measure showing a relationship between variables; it does not imply causation.
- First Click AttributionFirst Click Attribution assigns all conversion credit to the first marketing touchpoint. Causal inference evaluates if first touchpoints truly drive conversions or if other interactions have greater causal impact.
- Last Click AttributionLast Click Attribution: Assigns all credit for a conversion to the final marketing touchpoint before that conversion.
- Linear AttributionLinear Attribution assigns equal credit to every marketing touchpoint in a customer's conversion path. This model distributes value uniformly across all interactions.
