Switch from Polar Analytics to Causality Engine

Polar Analytics uses deterministic multi-touch attribution on its first-party pixel. Causality Engine uses causal inference on your GA4 export. There is nothing to migrate: the first read takes 1 to 2 minutes, and you can run both side by side.

€99 once, excl. VAT. Keep Polar Analytics running while you compare.

What Polar Analytics' terms say, before you leave.

Polar Analytics and Causality Engine, fact by fact

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.

How to switch, in five steps.

  1. No cancellation required yet

    Keep Polar Analytics running (its terms: monthly or annual (discount for annual terms)). Causality Engine reads your GA4 CSV export, so nothing conflicts and no data moves between the two.

  2. Upload your GA4 CSV (no integration required)

    Export 12 months or more of GA4 data and upload it. Longer reads better. No OAuth, no pixel, no code, no DNS changes. Shopify native is on the roadmap.

  3. Run your first analysis

    What each channel caused, next to last-click, with a data-health score on each, 1 to 2 minutes after the upload. Compare it with what Polar Analytics was telling you.

  4. Evaluate side by side

    Run both for a month and compare them channel by channel. Where they disagree is where a budget decision is at stake.

  5. Cancel Polar Analytics when ready

    Only if the side-by-side says you should. Nothing in Causality Engine depends on Polar Analytics being gone.

What to weigh before you leave Polar Analytics

Polar Analytics uses deterministic multi-touch attribution on its first-party pixel and is best for DTC brands wanting unified BI + basic attribution. Where it differs from a causal read:

  • BI dashboard first, attribution second
  • Deterministic MTA misses untracked journeys
  • Attribution runs on its pixel, which does not track retroactively
  • Attribution is not the core product

  • Can I run Polar Analytics and Causality Engine side by side?
