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.
The short version. What each one is for.
TikTok's default attribution is 7-day click + 1-day view. On a passive infinite-scroll feed, view-through credit inflates aggressively: a one-second autoplay impression on a phone in someone's pocket counts. TikTok is a self-attributing network with an ad budget to defend, and it doesn't deduplicate against Meta or Google.
Causality Engine has no ad budget. We show what each channel caused, deduplicate overlapping credit, and set it next to last-click.
Which one is the right call for your situation.
Choose TikTok's attribution when
you're optimizing TikTok creative inside Ads Manager. In-platform signal for in-platform decisions is a fair use of the tool.
Choose Causality Engine when
the question is whether TikTok's reported lift is incrementally real, especially given how aggressively view-through inflates credit on a passive feed. An independent causal read removes the would-have-happened-anyway revenue.
Take it to your CFO.
TikTok's attribution costs nothing because it's the seller scoring its own bids. A €99 independent causal read tells you what fraction of the platform-reported lift survives.

Does Causality Engine replace TikTok attribution?
No. Use TikTok for in-platform creative iteration. Use our causal read to check the platform's revenue claim across your full channel mix.Why does TikTok get so much less credit in my read?
Because passive-feed view-through over-credits, and the platform's reported number includes sales that would have happened through other touches anyway.
