Elevar offers identity resolution, server-side tracking, and customer data integration with marketing platforms, but its focus has shifted since the acquisition by Buxton, losing some original capabilities for Shopify marketing. In contrast, Littledata provides a 30-day free trial, is founder-led, and emphasizes a fully automatic, no-code setup, making it easier for DTC brands to implement. Littledata also features automatic tracking of checkout steps, enhancing its usability for Shopify merchants. Overall, Littledata excels with its user-friendly setup and strong focus on Shopify, making it a more attractive option for ecommerce managers.

For an online store with 50 orders per month, Elevar is 413% more expensive than Littledata. At 500 orders, Elevar and Littledata are equal, but Littledata's second option is 25% cheaper. For 5000 orders, Elevar is 29% more expensive than Littledata. At 20000 orders, Elevar is 19% more expensive than Littledata. Overall, Elevar consistently costs more, with significant price differences at lower order volumes, while Littledata offers more competitive pricing as order volume increases.

Elevar and Littledata both offer server-side tracking solutions for Shopify Plus brands, but their data destinations differ slightly. Elevar supports a broader range of integrations, including Yotpo Email & SMS and Postscript, which are not available in Littledata's offerings. Littledata focuses on core analytics and marketing platforms, integrating with Segment for enhanced data management. Both solutions cover major platforms like Google Analytics, Meta Ads, TikTok, Pinterest, Klaviyo, and Google Ads, but Elevar provides additional options for email and SMS marketing, making it more comprehensive for brands looking to leverage those channels.

Littledata's purchase tracking offers enhanced features such as user-provided data for improved attribution and custom mapping to a source/medium, which Elevar lacks. Additionally, Littledata's checkout tracking captures all steps server-side, ensuring comprehensive data collection. This contrasts with Elevar's reliance on the thank you page for tracking, which may miss critical interactions. Compared to its own previous version, Littledata's current offering maintains server-side tracking while enhancing data accuracy and flexibility. Overall, Littledata provides a more robust solution for tracking user behavior and purchases, ensuring better insights and attribution for Shopify Plus brands.

Littledata is superior to Elevar for Klaviyo integration because it not only provides GDPR/CCPA opt-out documentation and avoids adding new emails to your marketing list, but also enhances customer identity through cookies from other marketing channels. Additionally, Littledata's ability to backstitch Klaviyo profiles onto previous customer events allows for a more comprehensive view of customer interactions, improving segmentation and targeting. This holistic approach ensures better data accuracy and customer insights compared to Elevar's offerings.
