What is Elevar?

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.

Elevar vs TrackBee

Both send customer data server-side directly from Shopify, bypassing browser limitations. Elevar uses Google Tag Manager (server-side) for routing, offering flexibility for technical teams, but following its Buxton/Audiense acquisition it has been absorbed into a broader analytics platform — meaning you're no longer buying a pure tracking tool. TrackBee is founder-led, no-code, supports a wider range of ad platforms (including TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, ChatGPT Ads), and offers a 30-day free trial plus an AI insights assistant.

Where Littledata wins over both

Littledata matches both on server-side Shopify data and adds identity resolution, native Shopify Markets support, automatic checkout step tracking, and a fully automatic no-code setup — all in one focused tracking product. Unlike Elevar (now bundled into a segmentation suite) or TrackBee (no native Markets support or identity resolution), Littledata delivers a complete, Shopify-native tracking solution without compromise.

The key differentiators by platform:

Elevar includes Attentive (SMS marketing), which TrackBee lacks.

TrackBee uniquely offers Snap (Snapchat) Ads and ChatGPT Ads — making it the strongest choice for emerging ad channels.

Littledata stands out with native Segment integration, ideal if you're running a composable data stack, and also includes Attentive like Elevar.

Bottom line: Choose TrackBee for cutting-edge ad platform coverage, Littledata if Segment is central to your data infrastructure, or Elevar if you prioritize a mature, well-documented server-side setup with Attentive support.

Elevar ensures compliance by never adding emails without consent, protecting list quality. TrackBee boosts identity resolution by leveraging cross-channel marketing cookies, improving Klaviyo tracking match rates.

However, neither is Littledata, which combines both approaches while adding a critical advantage: backstitching Klaviyo profiles onto historical customer events, creating richer customer timelines.

Since neither Elevar nor TrackBee sends data direct from Shopify servers, both share significant drawbacks:

  • Inflated Active Profiles from emailless profiles, increasing Klaviyo costs
  • Checkout events require manual tagging, adding implementation complexity
  • Product Viewed events capture under 50% of identified customers, severely limiting behavioral segmentation

Littledata's server-side Shopify connection eliminates these issues while delivering compliant, cookie-enhanced, historically complete Klaviyo profiles.
