Why Northbeam is Overkill for Most Stores
Northbeam is an incredible platform. It's got advanced MMM (Media Mix Modeling), custom attribution windows, and sophisticated incrementality testing.
But here's the thing: 80% of Shopify stores don't need any of that.
The Reality: Northbeam is designed for stores doing $1M+/month with dedicated analytics teams. If you're under $500K/month, you're paying for features you'll never use.
