Reaktion vs. StoreHero

Don't just see your profit. Track it, and send it back to your ads.

StoreHero is a solid profit dashboard: it pulls your sales, ad spend and costs into one view. But it reads the numbers your ad platforms report. Reaktion does the tracking itself, recovers the orders pixels miss, and sends true profit back to Google and Meta so the algorithms optimize on it.

Where each tool stops The profit loop

StoreHero

1 Pulls platform-reported data into one dashboard ✓

2 Shows profit & contribution margin ✓

3 Tracks the conversions itself ✕

4 Sends profit back to the ad platforms ✕

Reaktion closes the loop

Server-side tracking captures the orders pixels miss → true profit is calculated per order → POAS is sent back to Google & Meta, so the bidding optimizes on profit, not reported revenue.

An honest framing

Both are profit-first. Only one owns the data pipeline.

StoreHero and Reaktion share the same ethos: run your store on profit, not revenue. The difference is where the numbers come from, and where they go next.

StoreHero

“See your profit, every single day.”

A unified profit dashboard: it connects your store and ad accounts, pulls the data the platforms report, layers in COGS and costs, and presents contribution margin with forecasting and goal pacing on top. What it works from is what the platforms say happened.

· Unified dashboard: sales, ad spend, COGS and contribution margin in one view

· Forecasting and goal pacing with a clear traffic-light system

· Reads the conversion data your ad platforms report — it doesn’t track independently, per public materials

Reaktion

“Track it right. Then make the ads act on it.”

Reaktion starts one layer deeper: first-party server-side tracking that captures the orders ad blockers and iOS hide, true profit per order on top of it, and POAS sent back into Google and Meta so the bidding algorithms optimize on profit.

✓ First-party server-side tracking — captures orders standard pixels miss

✓ True profit per order: COGS, shipping, fees, returns and refunds included

✓ POAS and profit signals sent back to Google & Meta, so bidding optimizes on profit

A profit dashboard on top of undertracked data is a clearer view of an incomplete picture. Fix the tracking first, and every profit number downstream gets more accurate — including the ones your ads optimize on.

Why the loop matters

Knowing your profit doesn't change your ads. Feeding it back does.

A dashboard can tell you Tuesday wasn't profitable. Your ad platforms still spent Wednesday optimizing for revenue, because nobody told them. Reaktion closes that gap twice: better data in, profit signals out.

✓ Better data in: server-side tracking recovers the 30–40% of conversions ad blockers and iOS hide from pixels

✓ Profit out: POAS flows back to Google and Meta as a bidding signal — one click, no scripts

✓ The result: algorithms chase your margin instead of your revenue, automatically

Average tracking uplift with Reaktion

Meta Ads +41%

Google Ads +34%

TikTok Ads +32%

These are orders your ad platforms otherwise never see. A dashboard reading platform data inherits the gap; the algorithms bidding on it inherit it too.

The basics

A fair comparison. You decide.

Where StoreHero is ahead, we say so. The question is whether you want a profit dashboard, or a profit engine wired into your tracking and your bidding.

Credit where due

What StoreHero does well, and what to weigh against it.

This isn't a takedown. StoreHero has real strengths, and if all you need is a daily profit view, it's a credible option. Here's the honest picture.

Strength

Forecasting & goal pacing

StoreHero’s forecast builder turns annual goals into seasonally adjusted monthly targets with a traffic-light system. It’s genuinely well done, and a reason finance teams like it.

Strength

AI & Claude MCP, live today

Their Claude MCP and AI insights are already shipping (on the Elite tier). Reaktion’s MCP and AI agents are coming soon — if that’s your deciding factor today, they’re ahead.

Weigh against it

It reports; it doesn’t track or act

Per public materials, StoreHero works from the data your platforms report and presents it. No independent conversion tracking, and no path for profit to flow back into bidding. The insight is yours to act on manually.

After trying profit dashboards

“The profit dashboards we tried were genuinely useful. We finally saw our margins daily. But the numbers underneath were still the platforms' numbers, and the ads kept optimizing for revenue. With Reaktion the tracking itself got fixed, and the profit goes back into Google and Meta. That's when the spend started behaving differently.”

Common questions

Honest answers, including where StoreHero wins.

Doesn’t StoreHero do everything Reaktion does?

There’s real overlap in the analytics layer: both show true profit, contribution margin, LTV, product-level profitability and creative performance. The difference is underneath and after: Reaktion does its own first-party server-side tracking (so the order data is more complete), and sends profit back to Google and Meta as a bidding signal. StoreHero, per its public materials, reads platform-reported data and presents it.

Does it matter where the data comes from?

More than most teams expect. Ad blockers and iOS privacy features hide 30–40% of conversions from standard pixels. A dashboard built on that data shows you an incomplete picture with great clarity. Reaktion’s tracking recovers those orders first, so the profit math runs on what actually happened.

What about StoreHero’s AI and Claude MCP?

Credit where due: their Claude MCP and AI insights are live today, bundled into their Elite tier. Reaktion’s Claude MCP and AI agents are coming soon. If AI analysis on day one is your deciding factor, StoreHero is currently ahead there.

How do the prices compare?

StoreHero prices by your store’s revenue (publicly listed from $179/mo, with AI and MCP features on the $299+/mo Elite tier). Reaktion prices by orders, and every module is in every plan — tracking, profit analytics, POAS bidding, feed optimization, reporting. Compare both against your own volume.

Who should honestly pick StoreHero?

Shopify brands and agencies that specifically want a profit dashboard with strong forecasting and goal pacing, are happy acting on the insights manually, and don’t need independent tracking or profit-based bidding. It’s a well-reviewed product with a real point of view.

Can I evaluate both at once?

Yes, and it’s the fastest way to decide. Reaktion’s 30-day trial includes every module and free onboarding. Run both, compare orders tracked and profit accuracy, and see what profit-based bidding does to your campaigns.

Don’t just know your profit. Make your ads bid on it.

Server-side tracking into Google, Meta, TikTok and Klaviyo, true profit after every cost, and POAS pushed back to the algorithms — every module, every plan, live in about 10 minutes.
