Owned-data MTA stack. Or causal, with no stack to build.
Choose EYKData when you want to own the underlying data architecture (your BigQuery, your Looker, your server-side tracking) and you have the team and patience to stand it up and maintain it. Choose Causality Engine when you want causal inference as the default output, not the premium services tier.
€99 once, excl. VAT. Keep EYKData; use us as the causal second opinion.
Same question, different answer. Often the opposite answer.
Short answer: Keep Eyk. 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 Eyk's server-side tracking with multi-touch attribution, for €99.
Compatible with Causality Engine: Yes. It installs nothing on your site; the one condition is GA4.

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.

The short version. What each one is for.
EYKData is a Rotterdam-based server-side multi-touch attribution platform with a strong technical thesis: your tracking, your BigQuery, your Looker Studio, no vendor lock-in. Stape-powered GTM, server-side click capture, consent-aware CAPI, and a published €399 Core / €529 Premium entry band by trailing-12-month gross sales. For an EU D2C brand that wants to own its measurement stack end to end, it's a legitimate path.
By their own words it's correlation-based at the entry tiers. Causal MMM and incrementality sit in their quote-only Advanced / early-access tier, and confidence intervals aren't surfaced anywhere we can verify. The core product also assumes you can stand up and maintain GTM + BigQuery + Looker, which is a real engineering commitment even with their server-side stack.
Which one is the right call for your situation.
Choose EYKData when
you want to own the underlying data architecture (your BigQuery, your Looker, your server-side tracking) and you have the team and patience to stand it up and maintain it. The owned-data story is real, the EU backend coverage is solid, and there's a genuine upgrade path to their causal tier if you can absorb a quote.
Choose Causality Engine when
you want causal inference as the default output, not the premium services tier. You don't want to stand up GTM, BigQuery, and Looker Studio to get there. And you want it on your existing GA4 history for €99 a read, no subscription that scales with your sales.
Take it to your CFO.
No GTM build, no BigQuery, no Looker dashboards to commission. A €99 credit-card read versus standing up and maintaining a full server-side analytics stack just to reach the causal tier (which is quote-only).
The questions buyers ask about us vs EYKData.
Is Causality Engine an EYKData alternative?
For the causal question without standing up a BigQuery stack, yes. For owning your own server-side data pipeline end to end, EYKData is the explicit product for that.Do I need a BigQuery instance or GTM container?
No. We run on your GA4 export (CSV). No data pipeline to set up.Both are Dutch. Why pick one?
Pick by method and install cost. EYKData is correlation-based at the entry tier and assumes you can run a server-side analytics stack. We ship causal inference as the base product, with last-click beside it, on a CSV upload, for €99. Both are EU-resident, both are GDPR-aligned.
Your platforms guess.
We run the math.
Upload a GA4 export and see what each channel caused, next to last-click, in 1–2 minutes. The read is yours to keep.
The free finding runs in your browser. Your file never leaves it. The full read is €99, refundable within 30 days, no questions asked. Prices exclude VAT.
