Littledata vs Google & YouTube app's customer reviews
| Littledata | Google & YouTube app | |
|---|---|---|
| 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." |
