Elevar ensures that 100% of your conversions are tracked and delivered to your marketing channels using Google Tag Manager and server-side tracking. Since the company was acquired by Buxton (now Audiense) the product has been merged into a wider analytics and segmentation tool.
Addingwell is a fully-managed GTM server-side hosting + tooling (monitoring, adblocker bypass, Safari resilience) to improve data quality, performance and governance.

Littledata's purchase tracking offers superior accuracy and flexibility by tracking server-side, ensuring 100% accuracy and including comprehensive features like post-purchase upsells, recurring orders, and refunds. It enhances attribution with user-provided data and allows custom mapping to source/medium. In contrast, Elevar's tracking relies on the thank you page, which may miss critical data points. Addingwell's tracking is limited to the thank you page and only tracks checkout initiation, lacking depth. Littledata's checkout tracking captures all steps server-side, ensuring complete visibility and compatibility with checkout extensibility and accelerated checkouts, making it a more robust solution for comprehensive analytics.
