Every ecommerce metric Polar shows you, plus the power to act on it.
Polar Analytics is a brilliant dashboard, but it stops at showing you the numbers. Reaktion gives you the same deep ecommerce analytics, and then it goes further. It feeds true profit, returns and new-customer value straight back to Google and Meta, so your ads actually optimize for them. Server-side tracking is included, at a price that scales with you, not against you.
“We loved Polar's dashboards but they only ever told us what happened. Reaktion gives us the same depth of ecommerce analytics and then pushes true profit back into Google and Meta, so the platforms optimize for margin, not just revenue. Same insight, plus action, for noticeably less.”
A fair comparison. You decide.
Both give you deep ecommerce analytics. The difference is what happens next: Polar reports the numbers, Reaktion sends them back to your ad platforms to optimize on.
Polar Analytics pricing is GMV-based and not publicly listed in full; figures shown are from Reaktion’s competitor research and are an estimate.
Where Reaktion goes further than a dashboard.
Polar reports the data beautifully. Reaktion reports it and acts on it, pushing profit, returns and new-customer signals back to your ad platforms.
Tell the algorithm to chase profit, not just order value.
Reaktion factors COGS, shipping, payment fees, pick & pack, returns and refunds into every order, then feeds true profit back to Google Ads and Meta. This is the line Polar doesn't cross, it shows you profit, but it never sends it back to the channels to optimize on.
Know your real cost to win a new customer, then optimize for it.
Polar shows you CAC, LTV and cohorts. Reaktion shows the same, then sends your true new-customer value back to Google Ads and Meta, so the platforms stop paying to re-acquire buyers you already own.
