Quick answer

Shopify analytics apps fall into two groups. Marketing-measurement tools (Triple Whale, Polar, Northbeam) tell you which ads worked. Profit trackers (TrueProfit, BeProfit, Lifetimely) tell you what you earned. SmartSeller does a third job: it calculates the limits for every price, promotion and restock, and applies the decision in Shopify.
