# Polar Analytics: review and real cost

Ecommerce data platform with profit, attribution and LTV reporting, plus an AI operator.

Verdict: Read the fine print (3 of 8 checks). Rank 1 of 3 in Analytics and attribution. Developer: Polar Analytics. Listing: https://apps.shopify.com/polar-analytics

Install it if you want one warehouse-backed source of truth for profit, ROAS, CAC and LTV and can pay $750 a month or more [1][2]. The catch: there is no free plan or trial, and the price steps up with your revenue, to $1,125 a month at $5M to $7.5M a year [2].

## Overview

Polar is an analytics and data platform for ecommerce, listed on the Shopify App Store since October 2020 [1]. It brings Shopify, Amazon, Meta, Google, TikTok, Klaviyo and other data into one warehouse, with profit, ROAS, CAC, LTV and inventory defined once [1].

On top sits an AI Operator that answers questions, shows the definition behind each number and, once you approve, acts on ad budgets and stock [1]. The Core Plan also includes Klaviyo Audiences and Advertising Signals for sending data back to marketing tools [2].

## Pricing

There is one self-serve plan, the Core Plan, priced by your GMV over the last 12 months [2]. Stores up to $5M a year pay $750 a month, so both a $216,000 and a $1.44M store pay $750; a $7.2M store pays $1,125 [2]. Discounts are available for annual terms, and a custom plan is priced by quote [1][2]. There is no free plan or trial [1].

## Merchants

Polar is rated 4.9 from 116 reviews; 97% of ratings are five stars and 3% are one star [1]. Reviewers like having all marketing and sales data in one place, easy integrations and fast, hands-on onboarding and support [1][6]. The few complaints are about sign-up problems [6].

## Data

You can download any report as CSV, up to 100,000 rows per export, and ask support to schedule exports to Google Sheets on supported plans [4]. SQL access to the warehouse is sold as an add-on [3]. Polar's terms say the service is hosted and data processed in the United States in its Snowflake environment, with providers in the US and EU, and name no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification [5].
