There isn’t one single “best” retargeting platform for abandoned-cart recovery across ecommerce product pages—it depends on your stack, budget, and how much control you want over creative, audiences, and channels.
Best overall picks by use case
1) Google Ads / Microsoft Ads
- Best if you want broad reach and already have traffic from search/display.

- Best if your audience is active on social and your products are visual.
- Excellent for dynamic product ads that show abandoned items.
- Usually one of the strongest for ecommerce ROAS, especially for consumer brands.
3) Klaviyo
- Best if you want email + SMS abandoned cart recovery in one place.

- Great for Shopify and brands wanting lifecycle automation.
4) Criteo
- Best for commerce-focused retargeting at scale.
