Pricing comparison

Affordable full-business coverage

Full-business analytics at 1/6th the price.

Northbeam charges $1,500+/month for marketing attribution alone. Niblin starts at $299/month and covers your entire business — revenue decomposition, customer health, product performance, and marketing performance monitoring. You get broader coverage for significantly less.

  • $299/mo Growth tier vs $1,500+/mo for Northbeam
  • Revenue, marketing, customers, products, and finance included
  • No annual contract lock-in required
  • No enterprise sales process — sign up and connect your data
Self-serve setup

Zero onboarding friction

Live in 15 minutes. No sales call, no CSM, no waiting.

Northbeam requires onboarding sessions, pixel setup coordination, and often weeks before you see full data. Niblin connects to your Shopify store and ad accounts through standard OAuth, syncs your historical data, and starts surfacing insights the same day.

  • OAuth connections — no pixel setup or tag management
  • Historical data synced automatically from your platforms
  • Anomaly detection active from the first day
  • No dedicated CSM needed to get value
Cross-domain analysis

Beyond marketing measurement

Ad performance is one piece. Niblin gives you the whole picture.

Northbeam answers "which ad drove this sale?" Niblin answers "is marketing actually working?" and also "why did revenue drop?", "which customer segment is declining?", "what products need reordering?", and "what should leadership focus on this week?" — all from one agent.

  • Revenue root cause analysis decomposes Traffic x Conversion x AOV
  • Customer health tracks RFM segment transitions and LTV:CAC
  • Product analytics flags stockout risk and variant underperformance
  • Monday briefing synthesizes the top signal across all domains
