Example product review | "They continue to charge you after uninstalling and cancelling your plan...made absolutely 0 impact to my tracking." | "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." | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." |
Example support review | "Awful support. I am now $700 in charges without even using the stupid thing because it made absolutely 0 impact." | "It took weeks to get a reply regarding a refund... it seems they grew too fast to keep up with customer service." | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" |

Elevar's purchase tracking for Google Analytics ensures GDPR/CCPA compliance by allowing end-users to opt out without adding new emails to marketing lists. In contrast, Blotout offers server-side tracking for 100% accuracy but lacks specific compliance features. Littledata also provides server-side tracking with enhanced features like post-purchase upsells, recurring orders, order filtering by sales channel, refunds, user-provided data for better attribution, and custom mapping. While Elevar focuses on compliance and opt-out options, Blotout and Littledata emphasize accuracy and additional functionalities, with Littledata offering the most comprehensive tracking capabilities.

Littledata is superior for tracking customers from Shopify to Klaviyo due to its comprehensive approach to data privacy and identity resolution. It provides clear documentation for GDPR/CCPA opt-out, ensuring compliance. Unlike Elevar and Blotout, Littledata enhances customer profiles by stitching Klaviyo profiles to previous events, offering a richer historical context. Additionally, it leverages cookies from other marketing channels to improve identity matching, which is not a feature of Elevar or Blotout. This results in a more accurate and compliant customer tracking system, ultimately leading to better-targeted marketing efforts.
