## Which one should you pick?

**Choose Triple Whale if:**

- Your main question is attribution: which channel really drove the sale, with its own pixel, multi-touch models, and MMM and incrementality on Enterprise.
- You sell on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon or TikTok Shop and advertise on many channels it integrates with.
- You want a free plan to start, or SQL access to your data.
- You are fine letting its AI act inside guardrails you set, on the Automate plan.

**Choose Tempomat if:**

- Your main job is buying media: analysis, briefs, creatives and paused launches on Meta, TikTok and Google Ads.
- You want a price that doesn't rise with your store's revenue.
- You sell on YouCan or Lightfunnels, or run cash-on-delivery orders you want tracked to delivery.
- You want every turn-on and budget increase approved by a person, with no auto-execute option.

People search for a Triple Whale alternative for two different reasons: they want cheaper attribution, or they want a tool that does the media buying. This page, by the Tempomat team, is for the second group. Triple Whale facts come from its own pages, checked on October 4, 2026.

## What is Triple Whale?

Triple Whale is an analytics and attribution platform for e-commerce brands. It calls itself "the AI operating system for ecommerce". At its core is the Triple Pixel, which tracks visitors so Triple Whale can attribute sales to channels, from first and last click on the free plan to multi-touch models, and media mix modeling and incrementality on Enterprise. Its AI, Moby, answers questions in the app and in Slack.

## What is Tempomat?

Tempomat is an AI media-buying copilot. It reads the numbers your ad platforms and store report through their APIs, then helps you act: reports, briefs, images and videos, and campaigns built paused on Meta, TikTok and Google Ads. It has no tracking pixel of its own. See the [features page](https://tempomat.tech/features).

## Attribution vs media buying: are they the same job?

No. Attribution answers "which ad or channel caused this sale?". Media buying answers "what should we run, at what budget, with which creative?". A good attribution tool makes buying decisions better, and a buying tool needs trustworthy numbers, but they are different products.

The line is blurring. Triple Whale's Automate plan now lets Moby adjust budgets, pause ads and launch campaigns, either after you approve each action or on its own inside guardrails you set. Tempomat has gone the other way from the start: no auto-execute option at all, and campaigns are always created paused.

## How much does Triple Whale cost?

Triple Whale has a free plan with no credit card. Paid plans are priced by your annual GMV and the package you choose. On the default tier its pricing page shows, $1M to $2.5M of GMV, Foundation is $549 a month and Automate $1,349 a month. Under $250K of GMV they are $219 and $749. Enterprise is custom, and above $20M of GMV prices go through sales. Paid plans are 12-month subscriptions.

Tempomat's plans are Starter $49, Growth $149 and Agency $399 a month, whatever your revenue or ad spend, with a 7-day free trial. See [pricing](https://tempomat.tech/pricing).

## Triple Whale vs Tempomat: what else differs?

- **Measurement.** Triple Whale has its own pixel, attribution models, MMM and SQL. We report what the platforms and your store say, and compute ratios in code; see our [ROAS formula guide](https://tempomat.tech/blog/roas-formula).
- **Channels.** Triple Whale pulls data from 21 ad platforms. We read and build on Meta, TikTok and Google Ads.

- **Control.** Triple Whale's Moby can act inside guardrails. We always wait for a person whose role allows the change.

## Who should choose Triple Whale?

Choose Triple Whale if attribution is your biggest gap: you spend across many channels, you don't trust platform-reported numbers, and you want your own pixel, attribution models and a data warehouse with SQL. Its free plan is a low-risk way to start.

## Who should choose Tempomat?

Choose Tempomat if your bottleneck is doing the work, not measuring it: answering questions fast, briefing and producing creatives, and launching tests safely. It is a strong fit for cash-on-delivery stores and agencies that need brand-scoped workspaces. More on our approach in [Facebook ads automation](https://tempomat.tech/blog/facebook-ads-automation).
