Littledata is a strong alternative to Google Sales Channel for Shopify Plus brands due to its extensive integration capabilities and advanced features. While both offer a 30-day free trial and no-code setup, Littledata connects with a wider range of platforms, including Meta Ads, TikTok, Pinterest, Klaviyo, and Segment, enhancing marketing reach and data utilization.
Its identity resolution feature boosts audience targeting, and server-side tracking ensures more accurate data collection. Additionally, Littledata's public statement of privacy compliance builds trust with customers, which is increasingly important in today's data-sensitive environment. The automatic tracking of checkout extensibility further streamlines the ecommerce process, making it a comprehensive solution for brands looking to optimize their marketing efforts and improve customer insights.

Example product review | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." | "I have an online store that sells home decor products, but Google says that I sell products with adult content. It says I have policy issues and missing shipping information, but it's not specific or provides any further information, so it's impossible to fix without knowing what's wrong. What a nightmare!" |
Example support review | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" | "Google support is robotic... they keep pointing us to articles after articles to read. This has become such a big headache." |

50 orders / month | $39 | $0 |

Littledata's pricing is advantageous for stores with higher order volumes. While Google Sales Channel is free, Littledata offers valuable features that can enhance analytics and integration. For example, at 500 orders, Littledata costs $149, which is reasonable considering the potential revenue increase from better insights. As order volume rises, Littledata's pricing remains competitive, providing essential tools for growth. In contrast, Google Sales Channel lacks these features, making Littledata a better investment for scaling businesses.
