Pros & cons
Pros

- Genuinely helps brands shift budget toward highest-margin channels rather than highest-reported-revenue ones
- Strong adoption among leading DTC agencies as a trusted attribution layer
Cons
- Custom pricing with no published rates makes it difficult to evaluate without a sales call
- Implementation and data interpretation have a learning curve requiring analyst support
