Northbeam alternatives
Comparing options when Northbeam is on your shortlist — and when a payment-first revenue attribution tool like Adentra is a better fit for confirmed Stripe revenue.
Why teams look elsewhere
Why advertisers search for Northbeam alternatives
Stripe-led product or SaaS funnels
If checkout lives in Stripe rather than a pure DTC order pipeline, a payment-matched path can be simpler than a full multi-touch ecommerce suite.
Focused revenue questions
Some advertisers mainly need: which sources and campaigns produced paying customers — without adopting every layer of a large attribution platform.

Adentra as an alternative
What you get with payment-first attribution
Confirmed payments
Attribution starts when Stripe reports a real charge — not only when an order or model assigns credit.
Visit-to-payment path
First-party visitor context (UTMs, click IDs, referrers) matched back to the customer who paid.
Campaign & source views
See revenue by channel and campaign so you scale what creates customers and cut what does not.
Lighter decision surface
Built for the core advertiser question: which spend created real revenue?
