Overview
How each tool is described
Triple Whale
What is Triple Whale?
Triple Whale is an ecommerce measurement and AI operations platform that brings marketing, sales, customer, and profitability data into one environment. It combines first-party tracking and attribution with business intelligence and Moby, its ecommerce-focused AI operator.
- Measurement: Triple Pixel provides cross-device and cross-platform first-party tracking, while multi-touch attribution and post-purchase surveys help reconstruct how customers reached a purchase. For more advanced measurement, Triple Whale's Enterprise-level Compass offering combines attribution with incrementality testing, GeoLift experiments, and marketing mix modeling.
- Business intelligence: Data from ecommerce stores, advertising platforms, retention channels, and other connected sources feeds customizable dashboards and reporting. Teams can create custom metrics, analyze profitability and customer cohorts, build behavioral customer segments, and query warehouse data directly through a SQL editor.
- AI operations: Moby can answer questions about live business data, investigate performance, generate reports, monitor KPIs, create image and video assets, work with customer segments, and turn recurring tasks into automations. On Automate and Enterprise, governed Actions can extend this into execution, including pausing or scaling Meta campaigns, updating audiences, triggering marketing workflows, and handling other recurring work within configured controls.
- Plans and scalability: Triple Whale currently offers Free, Foundation, Automate, and Enterprise tiers. Foundation adds multi-touch attribution, business intelligence, segments, SQL analysis, and Moby; Automate adds recurring AI workflows, governed Actions, creative tools, and specialist agents; Enterprise adds Compass, advanced measurement, multi-brand capabilities, custom integrations, and enterprise controls. Paid pricing varies with annual GMV and the selected package.
Triple Whale is most relevant to ecommerce teams that want attribution, business intelligence, and AI-assisted execution connected to the same underlying commerce data. Its value depends on integration coverage, advertising complexity, data quality, measurement requirements, and how much operational work a team is comfortable allowing Moby to automate.
Northbeam
What is Northbeam?
Northbeam is a marketing measurement platform for ecommerce and growth teams that combines first-party multi-touch attribution, cross-channel reporting, incrementality testing, media mix modeling, and ad-platform optimization signals.
- Attribution model: Northbeam combines its first-party pixel and order data with advertising-platform data and offers seven attribution models. Its proprietary multi-touch models are Clicks-Only, Clicks + Modeled Views, and Clicks + Deterministic Views. The last of these uses verified impression data from participating ad platforms rather than statistically inferring whether someone saw an ad.
- Cross-channel measurement: dashboards bring spend, attributed revenue, ROAS, CAC, customer journeys, campaign performance, and creative results across channels into one view. Native connections include platforms such as Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, Microsoft Ads, and Amazon Ads, with APIs and additional integration paths available for other data sources.
- Decision and activation tools: MMM+ models channel efficiency, seasonality, promotional effects, forecasts, and alternative budget allocations, with daily optimization scenarios rather than only periodic modeling. Incrementality adds automated lift testing. Northbeam Apex can send Northbeam-attributed conversion signals back to participating ad platforms for optimization; Meta currently has the most developed Apex workflow, while availability and optimization behavior differ by platform.
- Commercial considerations: Northbeam currently offers Growth, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise paths based largely on advertising scale and measurement requirements. Starter targets brands spending under $1.5 million annually on ads; Professional targets teams spending up to $500,000 monthly and adds unlimited users, exports, integrations, MCP access, and dedicated media strategy support. Enterprise is aimed at teams above $500,000 monthly and adds deeper data access, regional dashboards, and higher-touch support. Incrementality is optional from Professional upward, while MMM+ is listed as an Enterprise option.
Northbeam is most relevant to ecommerce and growth teams with meaningful paid-media spend that want an independent measurement layer for daily channel and creative decisions, while also connecting short-term attribution with causal testing and longer-range budget modeling.
