Short version: Elevar is sold under the Audiense brand as server-side tracking infrastructure, from $225/mo on Core to $3,000/mo on Elite, per audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/ checked September 14, 2026. PixelProof is a detect/monitor that watches the Meta Pixel, GTM, and GA4 tags you already have: Monitor-Only $29/mo · Starter $99/mo · Agency $149/mo. They solve adjacent but different problems, and the price gap reflects that. PixelProof does not replace Elevar's server-side build-out. Honest PixelProof stack: Monitor-Only $29/mo · Starter $99/mo · Agency $149/mo.

Source for every Elevar figure above: https://www.audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/, checked September 14, 2026. Prices change without notice — check the vendor link before you buy. PixelProof prices are the live Monitor-Only $29/mo · Starter $99/mo · Agency $149/mo stack from PRICING_TIERS. Monitor-Only is on that grid.
If you are building server-side tracking infrastructure from scratch -- routing conversion events through a server container out to a set of ad and analytics destinations -- that is genuinely a bigger, more complex build than a monitoring tool covers. Elevar is priced and structured for that scope: its published tiers scale on monthly order volume and on how many destinations you connect, from 2 destinations on Core up to 25 on Elite (https://www.audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/, checked September 14, 2026). A store with a data team that wants raw event-level control is a reasonable fit for that $1,250-3,000/mo range. PixelProof will not pretend to be that pipeline.
Most Shopify merchants do not need a bespoke server-side event pipeline -- they need to know that the Meta Pixel, GTM container, and GA4 tags they already have are still firing correctly, especially through Shopify's Aug 26, 2026 checkout upgrade, which strips Additional Scripts and legacy checkout.liquid tracking from every non-Plus store automatically. PixelProof reads against Shopify's Web Pixels API and watches the public storefront HTML for loader presence. Monitor-Only at $29/mo is that watch: recurring storefront scans and email break alerts. Paste-ready fix snippets are Starter+ ($99/mo and $149/mo) for detectable storefront findings — not bundled into Monitor-Only, and not a substitute for Elevar's per-destination add-ons or one-time installation fees. If the question is "is my existing tracking still looking present," not "I need to build new tracking infrastructure," the cheaper, narrower tool is the right one.
How the scan works — public HTML only, no checkout X-ray, no Ads Manager login — lives on the methodology page. Limits, trial, and refunds are on the FAQ.
This is a hypothetical scenario, not a real customer case. Imagine a mid-size Shopify Plus merchant paying $1,250/mo for Elevar's Premium tier to route conversion events server-side to eight ad platforms. The infrastructure works exactly as designed. Then a theme update six months later accidentally strips a data attribute Elevar's client-side collector depends on, and because nobody is separately monitoring for that specific failure, it goes unnoticed for three weeks. The server-side pipeline was never the problem; nothing was watching the pipeline's input. A Monitor-Only $29/mo watch layered on top, purpose-built to catch storefront-visible breakage, would have flagged a loader/signature change the same cycle. If you also want paste-ready guidance for a detectable storefront finding, that is Starter or Agency — not Monitor-Only, and not Elevar's implementation desk.
It is worth being precise about what Elevar's (Audiense's) higher price is actually paying for. Server-side tracking routes conversion events through a server container instead of relying solely on a browser-side pixel, which helps recover data lost to ad blockers, Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention, and third-party cookie restrictions. For a large advertiser running dozens of campaigns across many platforms, that recovered signal can be worth thousands of dollars a month in better-informed bidding. It is genuinely different infrastructure than a client-side pixel, and it is reasonable that it costs more to build and operate.
PixelProof does not compete on that axis at all. It assumes you already have Meta Pixel, GTM, or GA4 tracking in place, whatever form it takes, and its job is narrower: tell you the moment that existing setup stops looking present on the public storefront. A store running Elevar's $650/mo Advanced tier still benefits from a separate monitor watching for the day a theme update or a Shopify platform change quietly breaks something the server-side pipeline depends on upstream. Neither tool substitutes for the other; they sit at different layers of the same tracking stack.
One detail worth calling out plainly: the Audiense Online (Elevar) pricing page prices installation separately from the monthly subscription — expert installation $1,000 one-time, headless or API expert installation $4,500 one-time — on top of the $225-3,000/mo recurring fee (https://www.audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/, checked September 14, 2026). A merchant comparing sticker prices between Elevar and PixelProof without accounting for that setup fee is comparing two different kinds of numbers. PixelProof has no equivalent setup charge. The whole PixelProof bill is Monitor-Only $29/mo · Starter $99/mo · Agency $149/mo — and Monitor-Only does not include the snippet library. Annual billing is 25% off (Monitor-Only $261/yr, Starter $891/yr, Agency $1341/yr). Live Stripe checkout is on /meta-monitor/pricing, including a Monitor-Only deep link at /meta-monitor/pricing?checkout=monitor_only&utm_source=site&utm_medium=shared&utm_campaign=pp_monitor&utm_content=monitor_checkout_shared.
The free storefront scan is a soft paywall, not a brick wall. This browser gets 3 free scans, plus 2 more if you leave an email, then a ~24-hour cooldown. When the budget is used we ask you to start Monitor-Only or come back later. We do not hard-lock the product, invent remaining seats, or call the next scan "premium locked." If localStorage is missing (private mode), the gate fails open so you can still scan. The standalone free-scan page also uses a short-lived session cookie (one scan per hour) as a separate abuse control — still not a paywall brick. Checkout attaches a 7-day trial on paid plans, including Monitor-Only. Cancel before day 8 and you should not be charged — see Account → Subscription.
PixelProof is a compliance monitoring service, not a certification or legal advice service. Monitoring cannot guarantee 100% detection of every pixel breakage or Meta API deprecation. Merchants remain responsible for their own tracking compliance.
Under the Audiense brand. The live pricing page at https://www.audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/, checked September 14, 2026, is branded "Audiense Online (Elevar)", and Audiense's own About page lists Audiense, Elevar and Buxton as its brands. We report what those pages say and do not speculate about the corporate structure behind them.
On https://www.audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/, checked September 14, 2026: Core $225/mo (up to 2,000 orders/mo, up to 2 destinations), Advanced $650/mo (10,000 orders, 4 destinations), Premium $1,250/mo (30,000 orders, 10 destinations), Elite starting at $3,000/mo (75,000 orders, 25 destinations), additional destinations $125/mo each, expert installation $1,000 one-time and headless or API expert installation $4,500 one-time. Prices change without notice — check the vendor link before you buy. PixelProof is the honest stack Monitor-Only $29/mo · Starter $99/mo · Agency $149/mo — no per-destination add-ons and no separate implementation fee — because it is a detect/monitor layer on the storefront tags you already have, not Elevar's server-side tracking infrastructure build-out.
Different job. Elevar (Audiense Online) sells server-side tracking plans that are metered on monthly orders and on the number of destinations you connect (2 on Core up to 25 on Elite, $125/mo for each additional destination, per https://www.audiense.com/products/audiense-online/pricing/, checked September 14, 2026) -- that is infrastructure, and it is priced like infrastructure. PixelProof does not replace that pipeline. It watches your existing Meta Pixel, GTM container, and GA4 tags and tells you when one of them stops looking present on the public storefront. Monitor-Only at $29/mo is watch-and-alert only. Paste-ready fix snippets ship on Starter ($99/mo) and Agency ($149/mo) for detectable storefront findings — not on Monitor-Only, and not as Elevar's implementation service.
No. PixelProof is a detect/monitor on storefront-visible loaders (Meta Pixel, GTM, GA4, and a few other public-HTML signatures). It does not build a server-side data layer, does not host a server container, and does not route conversion events to ad or analytics destinations. Plenty of stores run both: Elevar (or another server-side suite) sets the pipeline up; PixelProof watches whether the storefront-side tags that feed it still look present after a theme, consent, or campaign change.
No. Monitor-Only ($29/mo or $261/yr) has no fix snippets and no PDF reports — weekly storefront watch and email break alerts only. Paste-ready snippets for detectable storefront findings ship on Starter ($99/mo, 3 stores) and Agency ($149/mo, 15 stores). You or your developer paste and verify. Snippets are not a concrete fix path we run on your theme, not a magic auto-install, and not coverage for checkout surfaces the storefront scan cannot see. Monitor-Only is not a fix-pack.
PixelProof was built around that deprecation wave and Meta's parallel Marketing API changes. Aug 26 already removed Additional Scripts for non-Plus stores; theme, consent, and campaign edits still kill pixels with no storefront error after the cutover. A free scan verifies the public HTML; paid Monitor watches after. For what Elevar does or does not cover there, read Elevar's own site — we are not characterising it for them.
No. PixelProof uses a soft paywall: this browser gets a small number of free scans (3, plus 2 more if you leave an email), then a nudge toward Monitor-Only at $29/mo. After about 24 hours the free budget can reset. If localStorage is unavailable (private mode, blocked storage), the gate fails open — we do not brick the scanner. The /meta-monitor/free-scan landing also rate-limits to one scan per hour per session cookie. None of that is fake scarcity, a remaining-seat countdown, or a “locked premium” wall.
