A Polar Analytics alternative without the data warehouse
Polar Analytics copies your store, ads and email data into your own Snowflake warehouse, priced by GMV. Replo reads Shopify, GA4, Meta, Klaviyo and more where they already live, tracks every page you publish for free, and acts on the answer. If your team runs SQL and BI on a warehouse, Polar fits better.
