Pricing breakdowns for attribution tools

Real plans and the hidden costs for each tool.

How to choose attribution software

  1. Match tool to business model

    DTC / Shopify: Triple Whale, Northbeam, Rockerbox. Mobile apps: AppsFlyer (dominant), Branch, Adjust. B2B SaaS: Dreamdata, Rockerbox, HockeyStack. Each vertical has specialists; don't cross-buy.

  2. Audit data sources

    Multi-touch attribution needs ad platform APIs, ecommerce store, server-side events. Verify integrations with your specific stack (Klaviyo, GA4, Meta CAPI, Shopify) before committing.

  3. Plan for the privacy environment

    iOS 14+ and cookie loss broke many attribution models. Tools that incorporate marketing mix modeling (Northbeam, Rockerbox) plus tracking (server-side) handle the new reality better than tracking-only attribution.
