Choose DataFeedWatch
When is DataFeedWatch the better choice?
DataFeedWatch is the better choice when the feed itself needs work or you sell well beyond Google.
- Your feed has errors, disapprovals or weak titles. Fix the data first.
- You sell on many channels beyond Google.
- You want a flat monthly price set by your number of products: $64 for 1,000 SKUs, $84 for 5,000.
Choose Product Metrics
When is Product Metrics the better choice?
Product Metrics is the better choice when the feed is clean but Performance Max spends unevenly.

- A few products take the budget while others never get impressions.
- You want labels based on performance and profit without writing and maintaining rules.
- You want a price that follows Shopping spend: the first €10K a month is free.
Together
Can you use Product Metrics and DataFeedWatch together?
Yes. DataFeedWatch builds the feed, and Product Metrics segments how the products in it perform in Google Shopping.
