Positioning

Lodwave — quantified decisions + RAG

The expert e-commerce AI agent. Reads your margin, break-even ROAS and catalog, and ships actionable decisions (scale, kill, iterate) in French, English and Spanish.

Why Lodwave as a complement (or replacement)

  • Quantified decisions in French / English / Spanish
  • Built-in RAG of 2,675 e-com expert lessons
  • Free to start, zero analyst setup

Triple Whale — Multi-touch attribution platform for Meta / TikTok / Google scaling.

From $129/mo → $329

Where Triple Whale shines

  • Mature multi-touch attribution model
  • Solid Meta / TikTok / Google integrations
  • Clean pixel-attribution dashboard

Where Triple Whale falls short

  • Dashboards only — no actionable recommendations
  • Doesn't read your real margin (only revenue tracking)
  • No conversational AI to interpret the numbers

Real scenarios

3 situations, 2 tools, 2 outcomes.

How each tool reacts to the same calls an ecom operator makes every week.

Scenario 1

Your Meta ROAS drops from 2.4 to 1.8 in 5 days

With Triple Whale

You see the drop in the dashboard. You figure out why on your own.

With Lodwave

Lodwave points to the saturated audience, drafts 3 hooks to test, and sizes the budget.

Scenario 2

You're preparing a 200 → 1,000 USD/day scale up

With Triple Whale

Triple Whale shows current CPA. You still decide CBO vs ABO yourself.

With Lodwave

Lodwave recommends CBO + 4 ad sets, computes break-even ROAS from your margin, and lays out day-3 / day-7 checkpoints.

Scenario 3

You want to brief UGC creators for your wellness product

With Triple Whale

Triple Whale has no creative module. You fall back to Google Docs.

With Lodwave

Lodwave generates 5 briefs (PAS, AIDA, problem-aware…) and 3 hooks per awareness level.
