Google Sales Channel offers a built-in connector for Analytics and Ads, providing seamless integration for Shopify users, but lacks advanced features like server-side tracking. Wetracked emphasizes 100% accurate data and identity resolution but may not have the same level of integration with Shopify. Littledata stands out with automatic tracking of checkout steps, enhancing data accuracy and user experience, while also offering identity resolution and server-side tracking. Overall, Littledata provides a more comprehensive solution for tracking and data collection compared to both Google Sales Channel and Wetracked.

| Example product review | "I have an online store that sells home decor products, but Google says that I sell products with adult content. It says I have policy issues and missing shipping information, but it's not specific or provides any further information, so it's impossible to fix without knowing what's wrong. What a nightmare!" | they got me in as they said it was better and cheaper then Triple whale, but really all it is, is some code on the back end you can not track or even see the results you still need to use the meta and good dash boards. | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." |
| Example support review | "Google support is robotic... they keep pointing us to articles after articles to read. This has become such a big headache." | Tracking looks improved the last 2-3 days. Support has never replied to me :-( even after days of waiting and 3 emails & reminders. | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" |
