By the Numbers: AI Analytics and Mipler — Advanced Reports both aim to provide Shopify merchants with actionable insights into their store data, but they approach this goal from different angles. By the Numbers positions itself as an AI-powered analytics suite focusing on customer lifetime value, retention, and personalized marketing, utilizing an integrated ChatGPT-style AI analyst and pre-built dashboards. Its strength lies in its ability to proactively surface insights and automate segment creation for marketing campaigns. Mipler, on the other hand, emphasizes custom report building and data visualization using a broader range of data points, including metafields and tags. Mipler caters to merchants who need highly customized reports and dashboards tailored to specific business requirements. Its feature that allows customers to request custom report creation from support is a significant advantage for merchants who lack technical expertise but have complex data needs. By the Numbers is suited to merchants who prioritize readily available insights on LTV and retention, and desire easy integration with marketing platforms like Klaviyo, Meta, and Google. It has integrations that Mipler does not offer and focuses on segments to improve marketing effectiveness. This approach is preferable if merchants are not comfortable building their own reports and prefer a guided approach from an AI assistant. By The Numbers’ lower review count should be viewed with the context of a more specialized product. By contrast, Mipler focuses more on offering a wider variety of reports.

For merchants prioritizing customer lifetime value, retention, and personalized marketing campaigns with ready-to-use AI-driven insights and seamless integration with marketing platforms, By the Numbers: AI Analytics is the stronger choice. The pre-built dashboards, AI analyst, and strategic guidance offered make it easier to quickly identify areas for improvement and implement targeted marketing strategies.
However, if a merchant's priority is deep customization of reports using metafields, tags, and other specific data points to meet specialized business requirements, then Mipler — Advanced Reports is the better solution. The ability to build custom reports, export data, and even request custom report creation from support offers unparalleled flexibility. The higher number of reviews for Mipler also indicates a broader appeal and potentially greater robustness of its reporting capabilities for diverse Shopify stores.
By the Numbers: AI Analytics integrates with Klaviyo, Meta, Google, and TikTok, enabling direct syncing of customer segments for personalized marketing campaigns. Mipler — Advanced Reports only integrates directly with Google Sheets.
By the Numbers: AI Analytics is generally easier to use for merchants with limited data analysis experience due to its pre-built dashboards and AI analyst that proactively surfaces insights. Mipler requires more user input and configuration to build custom reports, although the custom report creation service can mitigate this to some extent.
With Mipler, you can create highly customized reports that incorporate metafields, tags, and note attributes. This level of detailed customization is not available with By the Numbers: AI Analytics, which focuses on predefined metrics and customer segments.
By the Numbers: AI Analytics is explicitly designed to improve customer retention and LTV, with features like LTV tracking, retention analysis, repurchase rate monitoring, and AI-driven insights. While Mipler can be used to analyze data related to retention and LTV, it does not offer the same level of built-in functionality and proactive recommendations.
By the Numbers: AI Analytics does not focus on custom report creation in the same way that Mipler does. It provides pre-built dashboards and AI-powered insights but doesn't offer the same level of flexibility to build reports from scratch using various data points.
