About
Black Crow AI
Black Crow AI places a predictive intelligence layer on top of your Shopify store that identifies which visitors are most likely to purchase, subscribe, or churn, in real time and without requiring any historical data to get started. It uses these predictions to trigger personalised interventions: showing a discount only to visitors who would not have converted otherwise, or suppressing offers for visitors who are already highly likely to buy. The economic logic is sound: stop discounting to everyone and reserve incentives for the customers who actually need them. It is a relatively new category and Black Crow is the most accessible entry point. Best suited to brands generating $2M or more annually where conversion rate improvements compound meaningfully against existing traffic volume.
Northbeam
Attribution has never been a solved problem in DTC, and Northbeam does not pretend otherwise. Instead, it gives brands the most granular multi-touch picture currently possible without full cookieless infrastructure. Every paid, organic, and social touchpoint is tracked and modelled, with customisable attribution windows that let you move between first-click, last-click, and data-driven models depending on the question you're trying to answer. It's positioned above Triple Whale in terms of sophistication and price point, making it better suited to larger DTC brands with complex media mixes and dedicated data teams who can interpret the output. Smaller brands may find the depth overwhelming without the analytical resources to extract value from it.
Key Features
Black Crow AI
Real-Time Visitor Scoring
Scores every anonymous visitor's purchase intent in real time so you can route your best offers to high-probability buyers before they leave.
Personalised Offers
Dynamically serves pop-ups, banners, and discount codes calibrated to each visitor's predicted LTV and price sensitivity, not a one-size offer.
Churn Prediction
Identifies existing customers showing early churn signals and triggers re-engagement flows before they stop buying, not after they already have.
Incremental Revenue Reporting
Measures revenue from every AI intervention against a holdout group so the ROI is always independently verifiable, not self-reported.
Northbeam
Multi-Touch Attribution
Models every touchpoint across paid, organic, email, and influencer channels to show true contribution to revenue, not last-click.
Media Mix Modelling
Statistical modelling shows how reallocating budget across channels will affect revenue before you spend — not after.
Real-Time Dashboard
Live ROAS, CPA, and revenue by channel and campaign refreshing every few minutes, not the next morning.
Incrementality Testing
Run geo-based holdout tests to measure the true incremental lift of any channel or campaign independent of attribution models.
