Example product review | "Tracking is inaccurate, ad spend wasted, and support is unhelpful...data doesn’t match up, making it impossible to optimize campaigns." | "It's disheartening to hear about the app developer's refusal to enable enhanced conversion tracking without additional charges... It almost seems like price gouging for Shopify merchants to compensate for losses from the BigCommerce side." | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." |
Example support review | "Cannot get anyone to follow through and help me... I get bounced around from tech support person to another." | "Customer support is non-existent, and responses take forever... very frustrating experience overall." | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" |
