polaranalytics.comWhat's different with Olympus
A free plan
Every connection and view, your whole history and your team, free. Polar starts at $750 a month after a 7-day trial.
What each product keeps after ads
Built in, with your break-even. Polar works out lifetime value from revenue, including shipping and tax.
Six specialists, built for Olympus
Polar has an MCP for Claude and ChatGPT too. Pantheon adds six specialists: Plutus on margins and prices, Ares on paid ads, Aphrodite on email, Athena on products and customers, Hephaestus on conversion, Demeter on search. Each was written for one job and for Olympus’s own data: it knows what Olympus collects from each platform, how every figure is defined, which tool answers which question, and when a number is too fresh to judge. So it goes straight to the right numbers instead of guessing at them. Each also knows your store from what you tell Olympus.
The Council: specialists who argue it out
When a question crosses lanes, Hermes convenes the Council. Each specialist answers from your numbers in their own lane, they say plainly where they disagree and argue it out, and Hermes closes with one decision: who owns it, and when to look again.

Questions
How much does Polar Analytics cost?
Its terms say Core starts at $750 a month for stores under $5M a year in sales and rises by sales band; paying a year upfront gives 12 months for the price of 10. Its pricing page shows no prices and asks you to book a demo.
Is Olympus a Polar alternative?
For a Shopify store that wants its numbers, what each product keeps after ads and its own AI: yes. If you need Amazon or Walmart sales beside your store, SQL, or multi-touch attribution, Polar is the better choice.
Do both work with Claude and ChatGPT?
Yes. Polar has an MCP connector; Olympus connects on the Pantheon plan, with Hermes, six specialists and the Council.
