Finally, MMM Without the Complexity
PhD-Level Statistical Analysis, Made Simple






Run your MMM as often as your business changes, not just once a year.
No consulting fees, no retainers, no waiting.
Quick answers to the most common questions from marketers.
No. Stella’s MMM is 100% proprietary. While we’ve taken inspiration from the best ideas in open-source models like PyMC and Google’s Meridian, our model architecture, optimizer, and UI are built from scratch. This ensures Stella is tailored to marketing teams, not engineers, and gives you enterprise-grade accuracy without needing custom code.
Stella’s MMM was built by our founding team after years of running custom models for mid-market brands. We combined those learnings with input from three independent PhD data scientists and statisticians who reviewed our methods for accuracy and statistical rigor. The result is a proprietary Bayesian MMM that captures variance well and consistently produces reliable insights.
Traditional MMM is a consulting engagement, custom builds run anywhere from $15,000 to $80,000 per model, delivered months later as a static report you can't touch. Stella is self-service software. Run your MMM yourself, re-run it whenever your budget shifts, and calibrate it with real holdout data, all included in the Professional plan at $3,000/month. No retainers, no waiting, no PowerPoint at the end.
We use a fully Bayesian framework with priors, posterior distributions, and uncertainty checks to ensure accuracy. Each model passes internal diagnostic checks including MAPE, R-squared, and R-hat convergence. Out-of-sample predictions let you validate model fit, while channel-level ROAS posterior curves give you confidence in the results.
Stella requires 24 - 27 months of weekly data (two full years plus one rolling quarter). You can upload via CSV or Google Sheets, no engineering integration required. We support DTC, Amazon, retail, and geo-level splits, and you can include confounding factors like promotions, holidays, weather, out of stocks, or any custom variable for your business.
Unlike most MMMs that stop at attribution, Stella goes further. Every model comes with a built-in budget optimizer and revenue optimizer. You can enter a budget or revenue goal, and Stella recommends the optimal spend allocation by channel. This turns your MMM from a rearview mirror into a forward-looking planning tool.
