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.

Popsixle fixes the data you're sending to Facebook and Instagram so it knows who your best customers are. Scale your revenue with better audiences and conversion tracking.

Both Elevar and Popsixle offer server-side tracking from Shopify's servers and identity resolution — so they're comparable on core data quality. However, there are meaningful differences:
Elevar supports Google Tag Manager and Shopify Markets natively, but following its acquisition by Buxton/Audiense, it has been absorbed into a broader analytics platform — meaning you may be paying for capabilities beyond pure conversion tracking, with potential product focus drift.
Popsixle is founder-owned, platform-agnostic, and focused primarily on Meta (Facebook/Instagram) audiences — useful if that's your primary channel, but narrower in scope.
Where Littledata wins over both:
Both alternatives have server-side tracking, so data completeness is comparable — but Littledata's ease of setup and trial offer reduce risk significantly.

Elevar and Littledata offer broad multi-channel server-side tracking across GA4, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Klaviyo, and Attentive — covering your full marketing and retention stack.
Popsixle is narrowly focused, supporting only Meta Ads as a server-side destination. It's essentially a Meta CAPI specialist tool, not a comprehensive tracking solution.
If you need server-side coverage across all your channels, Elevar or Littledata are the practical choices. The key differentiator between those two is that Littledata natively supports Segment as a destination, while Elevar does not — useful if you're routing data through a CDP.
