Datadrew vs Lifetimely
Lifetimely (by AMP) does LTV projections and P&L reporting well, priced on your monthly order count. Drew is the AI ads agent that makes and executes the daily ad-spend decisions for a lean team — what you actually made, where spend is leaking, and what to scale, reduce or pause — with the same cohort depth underneath, priced on annual GMV from $99/mo.
Which platform is right for you?
Lifetimely is a solid LTV tool. Datadrew is an AI ads agent built on full-funnel business context. The right choice depends on what you need.
- You have outgrown LTV-only analytics and need full-funnel intelligence
- You want AI that queries across Shopify, Meta, Google Ads, GA4, and Klaviyo
- You need 4 types of LTV cohorts instead of 1
- LTV projections and P&L reporting are your primary use case
- You need built-in profit-and-loss dashboards with COGS tracking
- You prefer a simpler, LTV-focused tool without multi-channel analytics

Why brands outgrow Lifetimely
Lifetimely is great for LTV tracking alone. But growing brands need the full picture — acquisition, product intelligence, and AI that connects the dots across every data source.
Full-funnel, not just LTV
Repurchase and basket analysis, blended acquisition dashboards for Meta and Google, and profit after every cost — not just LTV.
Drew AI goes deeper
Drew AI queries Shopify, Meta, Google Ads, GA4 and Klaviyo together. Ask "which campaigns bring back high-LTV customers?" and get the answer with the evidence, not just data. On every plan — 1,000 welcome credits on Free, 3,000/mo on Essentials, 7,500/mo on Pro.
Segments that activate
RFM segments that push straight to Klaviyo and Meta, so a segment becomes a campaign instead of a dashboard view.
