| Pricing | Starter shown as $1,500 (billing period not stated adjacent to the figure on the pricing page); Growth tier is custom · free tier: None published — no free trial or free tier on the pricing page | Not published — vendor pricing page contains no figures; G2's vendor-supplied table lists a $2,200/month Platform edition but is self-dated October 10, 2024 · free tier: No free trial; a free interactive product demo (live-demo.hockeystack.com) is a simulation, not a trial on your own data |
| Pricing model | Custom / quote-based subscription, informed by data volume (pageviews) | Custom |
| Best for | Ecommerce/DTC advertisers spending roughly $200K–$500K+ per month across three or more paid channels, on Shopify or with engineering capacity to integrate another platform, with a dedicated growth operator or analyst who will live in the tool daily and who needs deterministic view-through attribution plus creative-level analysis. | Mid-market and enterprise B2B software or IT companies with material paid spend, a clean Salesforce or HubSpot instance, and a named marketing-ops/revenue-ops owner who can drive a technically demanding attribution implementation. |
| Avoid if | You spend under roughly $50K/month, run nearly all spend on a single channel, have no analyst or dedicated media buyer, sell outside ecommerce (lead-gen or B2B SaaS), are on a non-Shopify platform and want a low-commitment monthly trial, or require a published refund/cancellation guarantee before signing. | You have no in-house attribution or analytics owner, a small or early-stage budget, messy non-standard source systems, or you need to compare published prices and trial on your own data before committing. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
