Triple Whale is built for Shopify-first DTC: blended metrics, creative and profit analytics, pixel-based attribution, and the Moby agent for anomaly detection and recommendations. The Ad Spend works one layer down and one step wider — a permanent, time-stamped record of every change across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and Reddit, with causal inference connecting a move to the exact change behind it, plus approve-then-execute action. Use Triple Whale to measure DTC outcomes; use The Ad Spend to know which decision moved them, on any platform.
