Where Calatrix wins
Only tool that pulls real Shopify order data
Birch and Revealbot use Meta's attribution (which notoriously undercounts conversions). Calatrix reads your actual Shopify orders and calculates real profit. That difference compounds when managing six-figure ad budgets.
Spend-qualified kill thresholds
"Pause if 0 sales after $40 spend" — this combination (spend + conversions) is unique to Calatrix. Birch can do basic conditions, but not this spend-qualified logic. It's what separates reactive kill rules from predictive ones.
Per-product COGS tracking
Know the exact margin on every campaign. Birch doesn't track COGS at all, so you can't calculate real profit per ad. Calatrix bakes this in.
Where Birch / Revealbot still wins
Works with any ad platform
Birch and Revealbot support Google Ads, TikTok, and other platforms. Calatrix is Meta-only.
More mature product with larger user base
Birch and Revealbot have been around longer and serve a wider audience. If you need broad feature set or agency tools, they're proven.

FAQ
Can I import my Birch/Revealbot rules into Calatrix?
No direct import, but our rule builder is simpler. Rules take 5 minutes to recreate in Calatrix. You'll find it's easier to manage than Birch because you can see real profit data instead of guessing on ROAS.
What if I run ads on Google, TikTok, and Meta?
Calatrix is Meta-only. If you need multi-platform automation, Birch or Revealbot are better choices. They support Google Ads, TikTok, and Pinterest in addition to Meta.
How does Calatrix handle attribution differently?
Birch and Revealbot rely on Meta's pixel data (which undercounts conversions). Calatrix reads your actual Shopify order data directly — no attribution guessing. We know exactly which orders came from which campaigns.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 14 days free on any plan — no credit card required. You get full access to all features during your trial. After 14 days it converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel.
