Klar vs Northbeam: do you need a dedicated attribution platform?
Northbeam is a specialist multi-touch attribution platform, and on attribution science it is more sophisticated than Klar — we will not pretend otherwise. The question is whether you need that. Northbeam is built for brands spending enough on paid media that a few percentage points of attribution accuracy pays for a four-figure monthly bill. Below that, Klar shows you first, linear and last-touch side by side from $29/month so you can see how much the model choice actually moves the number.

When Northbeam is the better choice
Paid media spend is large enough that attribution precision materially changes budget decisions, and you have a team to act on it.
What they do well: Genuinely deep multi-touch attribution modelling. If attribution accuracy is your constraint, this is a serious tool and we are not a replacement for it.
When Klar is the better choice
You want to understand your channels without buying a four-figure-a-month model you cannot inspect, and you would rather see the spread between attribution methods than receive one number.
