The honest read

Credit first: research craft built into the product.

Citrus was built by market research and polling veterans, with a PhD in AI as CTO and, as data science advisor, an econometrics professor who worked on marketing modeling at Kantar.

Survey analytics and market modeling from one team, for agencies and insight teams
External drivers supplied with the model, so you bring only your internal data
A Bayesian MMM for budget decisions across channels and markets
Fusion, an AI survey analysis tool its makers describe as a glass box, not a black box

The difference

Where the budget decision is the whole product.

Citrus serves research agencies and insight teams, and Optimize is one module in a wider analytics offer. Odins is built for one decision: how much to spend on marketing and where, with the data pipeline, the model and a reviewed recommendation run as one service.

Data collection and structuring included, with data flowing in daily from your sources
Priors set with your team in 2 to 3 working sessions, from spend history, digital saturation signals and structured interviews
TV, radio, OOH and print in the same model as digital, next to pricing and promotions
A monthly retrain with a reviewed recommendation and forecasts checked against actuals, plus scenarios any time from the platform or Claude via the Odins MCP

Channel contribution, 80% ranges

Search 14 to 16% optimize

Social 9 to 13% optimize

Display 2 to 9% test first

A tight range is a decision. A wide range is a test plan, with cost boundaries.

The choice

Who should choose which.

Both build Bayesian models of what drives sales. The choice depends on whether research or the media budget sits at the center of your work.

Choose Citrus Analytics if

You are a research agency or insight team, and survey analysis is the core job
You want market modeling from the same vendor as your survey tooling
You want to build modeling skills in-house, with training from the vendor

Choose Odins if

The decision is how much to spend on marketing and where to put it
You want data collection, the model and a reviewed monthly recommendation as one service
You want forecasts stored before actuals arrive and checked at every retrain

The honest overlap

We are both Oslo companies, and we both talk about transparent, Bayesian modeling. Ask each of us who collects the data, how often the model is refit, and how the last forecast compared with what happened.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Citrus Analytics?

Citrus Analytics is an Oslo-based analytics company founded by market research veterans. It sells Fusion, an AI tool for survey analysis, and Predict, for sales and market modeling, which includes the Impact driver model and the Optimize marketing mix model.

Is Citrus Analytics a marketing mix model?

Partly. Its Optimize model is described as built on a Bayesian MMM for budget decisions across channels and markets, while most of its product and pricing pages are about survey analytics. Odins is a marketing investment platform where the Bayesian MMM is the whole product.

How much does Citrus Analytics cost?

Citrus publishes prices for Fusion, its survey product, from a free trial to agency packages. It does not publish pricing for Predict or Optimize. Odins is a subscription priced for the budget it optimizes, for companies with a marketing budget from EUR 1M to several hundred million a year, with the team included and no data science hires needed.

How long does a first model take?

Citrus does not state an onboarding timeline publicly. Odins delivers a first verified model 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff, data collection and structuring included. Vendors who quote shorter timelines usually count from the day your data is already collected and prepared, and often do not offer data collection at all.

Can Odins use our incrementality tests?

Yes. Results from lift tests, geo tests and other incrementality tests are taken into the model. Where the data still cannot resolve a channel, the reviewed recommendation proposes a structured test, such as a pulse test, with the expected cost stated up front.

What are the best alternatives to Citrus Analytics?

It depends on what you need from the model. We compared five options, with sources and who each one fits, on a separate page: the best Citrus Analytics alternatives. Odins is on the list, and we say so up front.
