Three platforms show you your Shopify data. Only one tells you what to change.
Polar Analytics, Peel Insights, and Trivas.ai all connect fast to Shopify. Where they diverge is how far that connection goes: a dashboard to read, cohorts to review, or a recommendation to act on.
Which one fits how you actually work
Skip the full breakdown if you just need a starting point.
You're a Shopify-only brand and want a broad, customizable BI dashboard across all your metrics, not just retention.
Polar AnalyticsRetention is your primary growth lever, and you want deep cohort analysis, subscription revenue tracking, and LTV modeling on Shopify data specifically.
Peel InsightsYou're a founder or lean team running multiple channels (Shopify, Amazon, marketplaces) and want the platform to tell you what to act on across attribution, margin, and retention, not just one slice.
Trivas.aiHow the three platforms actually differ
| Criteria | Polar Analytics | Peel Insights | Trivas.ai |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core model | No-code BI / dashboard builder | Retention and cohort analytics tool | AI intelligence layer that recommends actions |
| AI capability | Ask Polar: natural-language querying, MCP endpoint for Claude/ChatGPT | AI-assisted insights on cohort trends, no conversational assistant | Root-cause analysis + ranked "next best action" recommendations, not just Q&A |
| Attribution | Server-side pixel, model-flexible reporting | Not covered, cohort-based rather than channel attribution | Multi-channel attribution across paid, organic, email & marketplace |
| Profitability tracking | Custom P&L dashboards (build-your-own) | Not included, margin and ad spend are outside scope | COGS, contribution margin, and net profit out of the box |
| Integrations | 45+ native connectors | Shopify-first, minimal outside the Shopify ecosystem | 40+, including Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce & marketplaces from day one |
| Setup / time to value | Requires more configuration for custom dashboards | Under 30 minutes for Shopify connection, cohort reports live same day | Same-day, with 3 years of history back-populated automatically |
| Best team fit | In-house analytics/data teams | Subscription and repeat-purchase brands prioritizing retention | Founders and lean teams with no dedicated analyst |
| Pricing model | Scales with GMV / tracked orders, unlimited seats | Not publicly listed | Tiered, scales with business size |
Pricing snapshot
Ranges as publicly listed in 2026; all three vary with store size, so confirm current numbers directly with each vendor before deciding.
Priced by GMV/tracked orders with unlimited seats; MCP/AI tier and Enterprise quotes sit above this range.
Pricing isn't published; available on request. Best suited to Shopify brands where retention and cohort analysis, not attribution or margin, is the primary need.
Positioned to replace a separate BI tool + forecasting tool + attribution platform stack rather than adding to it.
The gap Trivas is built to close
One slice vs. the full picture
Peel goes deep on retention and cohorts. Trivas covers that same ground, plus attribution, margin, and forecasting, so you're not stitching together a second and third tool to see the rest of the business.
No analyst gatekeeping
Polar rewards teams with in-house data skills who want to build custom queries. Trivas is designed so a founder gets the same clarity without one.
One platform, not a stack
Running attribution, BI, and forecasting as separate tools adds cost and reconciliation work. Trivas consolidates that into a single source of truth from day one.
