Northbeam review

The most credible attribution here, from $1,500 a month, with named customers and named people. Not an operating dashboard.

Verdict

The serious attribution product on this page, and priced like one. Starter is a $1,500 a month minimum for brands under $1.5 million of annual spend, month to month on Shopify and annual terms elsewhere. Professional is $3,500 a month up to $500,000 of monthly spend, on annual terms. Above that it is a quote. Northbeam sells first party tracking with infinite lookback windows and names its customers rather than counting them: Gardyn, Timex Group, HexClad, Kizik, Gruns, Dr. Squatch and Omnilux, each with a named person and title beside the case study. That is better evidence than a brand count. It ranks ninth because of what it is not. It is a measurement layer rather than the dashboard an operator opens on a Tuesday, and its own site states nothing about how often the numbers refresh.

What customers praise

Two of the four tiers carry a real figure, and the terms are stated: month to month for Shopify brands on Starter, annual elsewhere. The customer evidence is unusually checkable, seven named brands each with a named person and role. Incrementality and media mix modelling are sold as add ons rather than folded into a price nobody can read, and the spend band for each plan is printed.

What customers criticise

The floor is $18,000 a year, which rules out most brands under $5 million of revenue. Pricing is described as usage based and informed by pageview volume, so the printed $1,500 and $3,500 are starting points rather than a bill. Annual terms apply to everything except Shopify on Starter. The ad credits of up to $50,000 to $200,000 quoted across all plans come from platform partners and are not a reduction in what Northbeam charges. And nowhere on its site does it say how fresh the data is.

Best for

A brand spending more than $200,000 a month on ads, where a three percent misread of channel contribution costs more than the whole software bill.
