7 Key Selection Criteria
Why Teams Replace Similarweb
Organizations typically move off Similarweb for the following reasons:
- Behavioral intent only—no actual purchase or spend validation
- No SKU, store, or transaction-level data
- Limited demographic and income segmentation
- Cannot support real-world revenue modeling or FP&A use cases
- Dashboard-centric delivery with minimal extensibility
- Mismatch for investment, strategy, or operations use cases
For teams seeking real, verifiable transaction data rather than inferred interest, Similarweb leaves critical gaps in visibility and precision.

Final Take
Similarweb provides excellent visibility into digital intent—but it stops short of telling you what people actually bought, when, and how. If you’re building operational benchmarks, real-time forecasts, or strategy decisions, that’s not enough.
Facteus offers the real-world behavioral signal Similarweb lacks: validated spend, SKU/store granularity, and safe, scalable delivery.
