Unlimited Scale vs Elevar
Elevar is a well-known server-side tracking and data layer tool on Shopify. Unlimited Pixel covers browser + server tracking on 12 platforms, included in the platform and connected to everything else.
Data specialist vs built-in pixel.
Elevar is very thorough on the data layer, monitoring and identity, with a number of destinations limited by plan. Unlimited Pixel doesn't limit the number of pixels, sends to 12 platforms, and shares its data with Analytics, email, pop-ups and landing pages.
- Proven data layer and event pipeline
- Identity resolution and session enrichment
- Tracking monitoring and alerts
- Profit optimization and predicted LTV on higher plans
- A free Base plan up to 100 orders/month

Tracking at the core, not on the side.
No destination limit
Several pixels per platform, one pixel per domain, browser + server mode, server only or browser only.
Every purchase, verifiable
Matching data, each platform's response, first and last source, the visitor's journey.
Attribution without another tool
Sales, revenue, add to carts and checkouts by platform, campaign or ad, with the URL parameters provided.
Email and pop-ups plugged in
Visitors identified through pop-ups are recognized by the pixel, and their actions trigger the flows.
Fast pages, tracking kept
On your landing pages and headless store, the visitor, their UTMs and their ad clicks follow through to checkout.
One install for everything
The same Shopify app powers the pixel, order tracking, the help center and live chat.
How a brand would use it.
Sample scenarios to illustrate how it works. These are not customer results.
Going from two destinations to six
A brand wants to add Pinterest, Reddit, AppLovin and GA4 to Meta and TikTok.
- Add each pixel in the “Your pixels” step, then “Test”.
- Turn off unneeded events for a specific pixel.
- Check the sends in the overview.
Avoiding double counting
Shopify's Facebook & Instagram app already sends the same Meta pixel.
- Unlimited Pixel detects the store's other Meta / TikTok pixels.
- Keep a single send per pixel.
- Coverage compares tracked purchases with Shopify orders.
