Leavened facts: leavened.com home page and its SourceForge listing, read November 2026. Where Leavened does not state something publicly, the table says so.
Credit first: Leavened plans the next flight as well as measuring the last.
A model is most useful before the money is spent. Leavened lets a planner upload a flighted media plan and compare scenarios against it.
- A Scenario Optimizer where you set the objective, the budget and the mix and see the options
- Flighted media plans uploaded and compared before the spend is committed
- Minute-level response measurement for TV, streaming, video and audio, by its SourceForge listing
- Analysts with long experience working alongside the technology, for brands and for agencies
Where the data runs thin, the priors carry the answer.
Leavened does not say publicly how its model works. Odins is Bayesian end to end and shows its work: priors set with your team in working sessions, offline media in the same model, and forecasts stored before the actuals arrive. That matters most in a market with one national weekly series, where the priors decide much of the answer.
- Priors set in 2 to 3 working sessions from your spend history, digital saturation signals and structured interviews
- TV, radio, OOH and print modeled next to digital, with pricing and promotions in the same model
- Forecasts stored before actuals arrive and checked at each monthly retrain, so the model's record is on file
- Data flows in daily and scenarios run any time, in the platform or from Claude via the Odins MCP; the retrain and the reviewed recommendation come monthly

The choice
Who should choose which.
Both pair a model with people. Choose by how much of the method you want to see and who the model is for.
Choose Leavened if
- You are an agency that wants a measurement partner to offer your clients
- TV and streaming are your main channels and you want response measured to the minute
- You want a planner's tool for comparing media plans before they run
Choose Odins if
- Your market has one national weekly series, so how the priors are set decides the answer
- TV, radio, OOH or print carry real budget and belong in the same model as digital
- You want the data work, the model and a reviewed recommendation handled for you, and scenarios you run yourself any time
The honest overlap
Both of us model media and both have people behind the model. Ask each vendor to show a forecast made before the actuals came in, next to what happened.
Frequently asked questions.
Is Leavened a marketing mix model?
Yes. A marketing mix model with scenario planning is Leavened's core offer, with analysts alongside. Its site does not describe the method or say whether the model is Bayesian.
How much does Leavened cost?
Leavened does not publish pricing. Odins is a subscription priced for the budget it optimizes, with the team included.
How long until the first model?
Leavened does not state a timeline on the pages we read. Odins delivers the first verified model in 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff, data collection and structuring included. When you compare timelines, ask when the clock starts. 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.
Does Leavened work with agencies?
Yes. Leavened names agencies, brands and analysts as its audiences. Odins also works with agencies: the agency stays for strategy and buying and can have as much access to the model as the advertiser wants.
What are the best alternatives to Leavened?
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 Leavened alternatives. Odins is on the list, and we say so up front.
