Blotout focuses on restoring marketing signals in a post-cookie world, offering identity resolution and server-side tracking, but lacks a no-code setup. Aimerce emphasizes ease of use with a fully automatic, no-code setup for capturing high-quality customer data, but does not provide server-side tracking. Littledata stands out with a 30-day free trial, combining features from both competitors: identity resolution, server-side tracking, and automatic checkout step tracking, all with a no-code setup, making it a more comprehensive solution for data collection and tracking.

Example product review | "After using Blotout for a couple months, we decided to drop them... Blotout was taking credit for a lot of Klaviyo pixel events that would’ve happened anyway... Event match quality in Facebook was marginally better, but I don’t think it warrants the cost or complexity." | "Aimerce has been a total game-changer for our ad campaigns. The setup was incredibly easy, and we saw immediate improvements in both ad performance and event tracking accuracy." | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." |
Example support review | "It took weeks to get a reply regarding a refund... it seems they grew too fast to keep up with customer service." | "Aimerce's customer service is non-existent... no response to inquiries, leaving us frustrated and unsupported." | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" |

Littledata offers a comprehensive solution for tracking customers from Shopify to Klaviyo, emphasizing compliance with GDPR and CCPA through clear opt-out documentation. Unlike Blotout, which only ensures no new emails are added to your marketing list, Littledata enhances customer profiles by backstitching Klaviyo profiles onto previous events, providing a richer data history. Compared to Aimerce, which also uses marketing channel cookies for identity, Littledata's approach is more robust as it combines this with a focus on compliance and historical data integration, ensuring a more complete and legally sound customer tracking experience.
