What each one is
EmpactAI
A dashboard for Shopify stores with eight AI specialists. It reads your eight sources, tells you what to fix first and, once you give the OK, applies it in your Shopify. We're behind it, Empact: you do it yourself or ask us, with a quote.
Polar Analytics
It describes itself as the AI data platform for commerce: it brings your sources into your own Snowflake instance, with metrics already modelled, and adds agents in Slack or Teams that answer and act with your approval.
polaranalytics.comapps.shopify.com/polar-analyticsWhere Polar Analytics wins, for real.
If your business goes beyond one Shopify store, or you have a team that lives in the data, Polar reaches where EmpactAI doesn't.
Your whole business, not just the store
Its directory passes 300 connectors, with Amazon, TikTok and much more. EmpactAI reads eight sources: the ones of a Shopify store.
polaranalytics.com/connectorsYour data, in your own warehouse
Each customer has its own Snowflake instance to query. EmpactAI doesn't come with a data warehouse.
polaranalytics.compolaranalytics.com/pricingAttribution with its own pixel
Its analytics plan includes a first-party pixel and multi-touch attribution.
polaranalytics.com/pricingIncrementality, with a data scientist
Geo tests on Google Ads, YouTube, Meta, TikTok (US) and TV, designed and read by its team. It's a separate product.

Where EmpactAI wins, if you sell on Shopify.
EmpactAI is narrower on purpose: one Shopify store, what to do this week, and doing it.
A public price, to get started
From €99 to €599 a month, excluding VAT and with no lock-in. Its pricing page shows no figures; on its Shopify App Store listing, Core starts at $750/month by online GMV.
polaranalytics.com/pricingapps.shopify.com/polar-analyticsIn Spanish and Italian too
EmpactAI comes in Spanish, English and Italian. Polar's listing states English, French and German.
apps.shopify.com/polar-analyticsIt applies it in your Shopify, and it can be undone
Collections, prices, SEO copy and redirects, with your OK and one click to go back. Polar acts with your approval on what you've set up; how to undo it isn't stated on its website.
polaranalytics.comA/B tests and competitors
EmpactAI brings A/B tests with Empact's method and watches your competitors. Neither is stated on the Polar pages we reviewed.

Before you choose
When is Polar the better fit?
If you sell on several channels, such as Amazon, if you want your data in your own warehouse, or if your team needs attribution and incrementality in depth. That's what it's built for.
When is EmpactAI the better fit?
If you sell on Shopify and want to know what to do this week, apply it in one click and start with a public price and no sales call.
How much does each one cost?
EmpactAI: Core €99, Pro €249 and Max €599 a month, excluding VAT and with no lock-in. Its pricing page shows no figures; on its Shopify App Store listing, Core starts at $750/month by online GMV, with discounts on annual plans.
Can I use both?
Yes. EmpactAI connects to your sources on its own and doesn't depend on any other analytics tool.
