Northbeam review
Measurement platform with MTA, MMM and incrementality for high-spend brands.
By Dana Rourke, Lead reviewer. Reviewed by Campaign Buyer Editorial. Updated 8 September 2026.
Our verdict
Northbeam is the pick if you spend heavily across channels and have an analyst to own multi-touch attribution, media-mix modeling and incrementality.
Northbeam is the tool you graduate to when a percentage point of attribution accuracy is worth thousands of dollars in reallocated spend. It blends first-party click data with modeled and deterministic view-through data, and layers multi-touch attribution, media-mix modeling and incrementality on top. For a brand spending across Meta, Google, TikTok and more, that is a genuinely more complete picture than a Shopify-first dashboard gives you.
That power has a floor. Pricing starts at $1,500/mo and rises to $3,500 for Professional, so it only makes sense above a real spend threshold.
The bigger risk is not the price, it is adoption. The most common complaint is onboarding: one G2 reviewer described paying for Northbeam and being unable to get it usable. Without an analyst or a data owner to run the models and act on them, it becomes expensive shelfware. Buy Northbeam when you have both the spend and the person to own it. We do not earn a commission on Northbeam, so there is no button here, only the recommendation.

What works
- Combines clicks with modeled and deterministic view data for fuller paid-media attribution

- Built for the scale where measurement decisions move real budget
What to watch
- Starts at $1,500/mo, so it is not for small brands
- Onboarding is hard; one reviewer paid but could not get the product live
- Becomes expensive shelfware without someone dedicated to run the model
