Supermetrics Alternatives You Must Try

best supermetrics alternatives


What’s the best Supermetrics alternative?

Supermetrics is a great company. They do everything right and grow at a fanstastic clip. The latest numbers available in the ethers of the world wide web are that they are at an ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) of US$50 million (Podcast here). This is a huge success. To get to this massive amount of revenue they extended their connectors portfolio, which is great. Sadly a big part of the revenue growth comes from them increasing their prices. If market growth alone does not fuel enough growth anymore, then, increasing prices is a great way to find revenue growth. Thats why you probably landed here looking for an alternative.

In this article, we’ll examine the top 5 Supermetrics competitors in the market with all their pros and cons. If you find that any of the data below is not 100% up to date please do write to us on the chat and we’ll get it updated right away.

Why Look for a Supermetrics Alternative?

There are several reasons why someone might consider looking for an alternative to Supermetrics. Here’s what we hear from Supemetrics users out there:

  • Increasing pricesYour license is expiring and a friendly Supermetrics account executive is telling you to upgrade to a plan which is beyond what you are willing to pay.
  • You’re trying to add more users to your Supermetrics plan and because you’re on a legacy plan the only way to do so is to upgrade to a non-legacy plan, which breaks the bank.
  • You’re trying to add an additional data source and you noticed that you need to upgrade to an enterprise plan.
  • A new connector you’re trying to add to your configuration is on Supermetrics’ premium connectors plans which are not included in your current package. The next package is at 3x your current price.
  • Your data pipelines or dashboards keep breaking and support is not helping. Enough is enough, …
  • There is a super exotic connector which Supermetrics does not have and it’s a deal breaker for you.

 

Overall based on the discussions we have it’s pretty much 80/20 in terms of reasons to search for an alternative: 80% is because of pricing related issues and 20% is because of everything else.

*It’s your lucky day: You have to talk to a friendly sales rep.

 

Do let us know if there is another Supermetrics alternative we’ve missed out on (chat at the bottom right of the page).

Here’s a copy of this table in Google Sheets (including list of all connectors), in case you want to create a copy.

 

The table is sliced into 4 categories:

 

1. General

Free trial without talking to sales

Self-explanatory. We’re in 2024 and live in the age of product-led-growth (PLG). In our industry you’re at a real disadvantage (or have something to hide) if you don’t offer a free trial without sales interaction.

Only Adverity does not offer it.

 

Paid plans starting from

Here Porter Metrics technically wins. They offer a $12.49/month plan where the user can connect 1 account of 1 data source to Looker Studio or Google Sheets.

Windsor.ai offers a free plan for the same functionality, so technically it’s a win for Porter, but not really.

 

G2 review score

Here Dataslayer is tied with Windsor.ai at 4.8. Supermetrics and Porter come in last with an average score of 4.4. It is worth highlighting that all these scores are really good.

 

Data mapping feature

The user can create their own metrics and dimensions (e.g. user creates a new metric which sum together Facebook Ads link clicks with Google Ads clicks into a new metric called custom_clicks). These features are only offered by Adverity and Funnel. They are not essential as the metric can always be created downstream (e.g. you sum them up in your Google Sheets, Looker Studio or in your BigQuery table).

That’s at least we (Windsor.ai) did not implement such a feature.

 

Number of connectors

Here it’s close to a tie between Adverity with 363 and Funnel with 360. Then follow Supermetrics, Windsor.ai, Dataslayer and Porter is on the last spot.

 

2. Business intelligence and spreadsheet features

Looker Studio connectors

Here Supermetrics wins here with 124 listed Looker Studio connectors, followed by Windsor.ai with 68 listed Looker Studio connectors. Dataslayer comes in third with 32 connectors followed by Porter Metrics with 9 connectors. Funnel and Adverity each only have one connector.

 

Power BI connector

All vendors with the exception of Dataslayer and Porter have a Power BI connector.

 

Tableau connector

All vendors with the exception of Dataslayer and Porter allow users to pull data into Tableau. Supermetrics does not have a dedicated Tableau connector but the exports can still be achieved via it’s API product.

 

Google Sheets extension

All vendors have a Google Sheets extension.

 

Excel integration

All vendors with the exception of Dataslayer and Porter have Excel integration capabilities

 

API access

Here Windsor.ai and Dataslayer stand out as the only two vendors which allow self service API access. Supermetrics, Funnel and Adverity buck the PLG trend and want you to talk to a sales person before letting you test drive their API product (plus pricing starting from $1000/month. Why?).

Porter Metrics does not offer an API as a product.

 

3. Security features

SOC2 Type 2 compliant

If you’re an enterprise buyer this is a big one for you. All vendors except for the less established Porter Metrics and Dataslayer are SOC2 Type2 compliant.

 

Single sign on/MFA

Same as with SOC2 Type 2 Porter and Dataslayer don’t have it.

 

4. Database destination features

This is best summed up without bullet points. BigQuery is available for trial and a reasonable fee only from Windsor.ai and Dataslayer. With Snowflake, Azure, S3, MySQL, PostgreSQL only Windsor.ai offers it for a reasonable fee. I decided to call >$1000/month unreasonable.

Supermetrics, Funnel and Adverity only let you try their database destinations after talking to a sales. Again this goes against the trend of offering self service trials and product led growth. Let’s hope this changes.

 

 

Best 5 Supermetrics Alternatives

Below you’ll find 5 Supermetrics alternatives. Some of them provide more flexibility with data, make data more actionable, or provide alternative pricing and integrations.

So let’s dive deeper into each of them.

 

1. Windsor.ai

windsor homepage

Getting marketing tools running is never the hardest part. Getting data from all these tools into one place and extracting insights is where the real difficulty lies. Windsor.ai helps solve exactly this problem. 

 

Features

Windsor.ai supports more than 70 data sources. Most of them are marketing, CRM or ecommerce related. Think of Facebook Ads, Google Analytics, HubSpot, Instagram Insights, Shopify,…

Click here for the full list of available data sources. Data from all these sources is then pushed into a data destination. The data destinations come in four different categories:

 

BI PlatformsSpreadsheetsDatabaseDeveloper tools
Looker StudioGoogle SheetsBigQueryAPI
Power BIExcelSnowflakePython
TableauAzure SQL/Blob StorageR
Amazon S3
PostgreSQL/MySQL

 

When comparing Windsor.ai to Supermetrics there are a few key differences. With Supermetrics you buy packages for the different data destinations. Which means that if you want to get data into Google Sheets and Looker Studio you’ll need to buy a license each. Windsor.ai does not do that. This means that with every subscription you can use all of the data destinations listed above.

Another key difference is that with Windsor all connectors are treated the same way for pricing. With Supermetrics if you for example would like to get HubSpot data connected, you’re able to do so only on the  Super plan.  So even though the pricing starts at 39$/month if you need to get HubSpot connected you’ll need to fork out 499$/month.

When it comes to database destinations and the API product with Windsor.ai you’re able to get started without having to talk to a sales rep.

Pricing for all plans (including database streaming and API) starts at $19/month.

 

Summary:

  • > 70 data sources to 14 data destinations
  • G2 Review score average 4.8 out of 5
  • ETL (Extract – Transform – Load) functionality for all data destinations (incl. databases) available on all plans
  • All connectors available on all plans: No premium connectors
  • Extensive library of marketing dashboard templates
  • Database destination pricing independent of row count
  • SOC 2 Type 2 certified, supports single sign on and multi factor authentication

2. Funnel.io

 

funnel.io main page
Funnel.io offers an ETL functionality with 500+ sources you can pull your data from, data normalization, and integration with some popular reporting tools, like Looker Studio or Tableau.

 

Features

The transformation part means that Funnel cleans up, maps out, and groups your data before loading it to a reporting tool or data warehouse.

  • Funnel.io can build connectors for users that request custom integrations

 

Pricing

Funnel.io and Supermetrics provide similar functionality. But unlike Supermetrics, Funnel has a much clearer pricing model. At the same time, they charge based on your ad spend, which is not always the case.

Funnel.io offers different pricing plans, including:

  • Free
  • Business  from €1000/mo
  • Enterprise – talk to sales

 

Funnel.io vs. Supermetrics

These two tools offer similar ETL functionality. Funnel currently has in-product dashboards and advantage of integrating with 500+ sources, which can be a savior if you work with rare channels.

Funnel can be a better choice if:

  • You work with marketing channels only Funnel.io integrates with;
  • You need to pull your data into multiple destinations;
  • You’ll benefit from unlimited seats and ad accounts;

 

If you work with common marketing channels and pull your data to one particular destination, Supermetrics can offer you better pricing for this, regardless of your ad spend.

Other popular Supermetrics competitors

 

 

Supermetrics Overview

Supermetrics helps you to get your marketing and analytics data from more than 120 sources to destinations like Looker Studio, Google Sheets and Excel. It recently has also started offering an API where users can get data to other tools such as Power BI or embed it in their on applications. For enterprise customers it also does offer data streaming of all the >120 connectors into destinations like BigQuery, Snowflake or Microsoft Azure. It was founded on the 30th of May 2013 with a very simple offering: bringing data from Google Analytics into Excel. It got traction immediately and users loved it. Mikael Thuneberg, Supermetrics’ Founder, then scaled the company to become one of the fastest growing startups in Finland. As of 2024 it has an annual recurring revenue of US$50 million, making it one of the biggest companies in the data pipeline and ETL space. If you are interested in Supermetrics’ story here is a great podcast with its founder.

To sum it up: As of now Supermetrics offers you to bring data from 120 different sources, mainly marketing and analytics related, to 16 different destinations, which are categorized into Spreadsheet tools, BI tools and data base destinations.

 

Supermetrics features

Many of the features which Supermetrics offers are summarized in the table above. It’s essential a tool to help marketers bring data from A to B. They then frame the different destinations as different products. This then makes the Supermetrics offering look like this:

Supermetrics for Google SheetsSupermetrics for Google Sheets
Supermetrics for Looker StudioSupermetrics for Google Data Studio/Supermetrics for Looker Studio (same, proabably it was added twice on their website for SEO purpose)
Supermetrics for BigQuerySupermetrics for BigQuery
Supermetrics APISupermetrics API
Supermetrics for ExcelSupermetrics for Excel

 

Marketing Intelligence Cloud

Lately they have also added a new product to their website called “Supermetrics Intelligence Cloud”.

Supermetrics Intelligence Cloud is part of Supermetrics Enterprise offering (talk to sales, etc..) and allows users to connect all their data sources and then:

  • Modify the data before sending it into a destination of choice. Modify in this context means that as user I can create new metrics and dimensions so that for example the link “clicks” metric from Facebook Ads are summed up with the “clicks” metric from Google Ads into a new user defined metrics called “total_clicks”.
  • Assign access rights for different data sources and metrics to different team members so that e.g. performance marketers only get access to ad data and CRM folks only get access to CRM data.
  • Create queries: Users can then set up custom queries where they can select columns (dimensions in Google terminology) together with metrics. Metrics can then be aggregated as needed (average, sum, count distinct, …)

 

In essence the intelligence cloud is a glorified version of what you can also achieve with a database. However, Supermetrics might have a point in creating such a feature. Marketers are often scared of touching databases and like WYSIWYG UI. A BigQuery user interface can be scary for less technical users so having the transformation feature upstream has some merits.

 

Supermetrics Pricing

supermetrics pricing new

Supermetrics pricing for Looker Studio starts at $39/month. The pricing for Google Sheets and Excel starts at $69/month. For data destinations the pricing for BigQuery and their API pricing, which you’ll need for Power BI, Snowflake, .. destinations, is not public, meaning you’ll need to talk to sales. As of March 2024 Supermetrics does not offer a free plan but there is a free 14 day trial.

The price for Supermetrics depends on the final destination, the number of data sources, the number of accounts per data source, and the users.

Please keep in mind that these base pricing values increase quickly.

Supermetrics does not provide pricing on a monthly basis.

 

1. Let’s look at the pricing for Google Sheets, Excel, and Looker Studio in more detail.

Excel
Pricing PlanPriceAccountsData SourcesUsersData RefreshExtra
Essential$69/mo571Weekly1 more data source for $29/month
Core$199/mo10261Daily2 more data sources for $29/month each
Super$499/mo10743Daily
Enterprisetalk to SalesCustomUp to 105CustomHourly

You can see that in the Essential plan the subset of data sources available is only 7. These cover the following platforms:

  • Facebook Ads
  • Facebook Insights
  • Google Ads
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Analytics 4
  • Google Search Console
  • Instagram Insights

 

So if you want any other connector like for example LinkedIn Ads you’ll need to pay another $29/month if you would like to add that. If for example you’d like to add HubSpot you can only do so on a higher tier plan: Core with upgrade. Which then sets you back $199/month + $29/month = $228/month just to connect HubSpot to Excel. Connecting an additional data source to Google Sheets or Looker Studio involves the same scenario.

Which Supermetrics alternative are you choosing?

There are tons of data integration solutions. And while it was easy to find competitors of Supermetrics, each of them serves its purpose and can be a gem for a specific case.

We can only provide different aspects to consider as you determine the best fit for your needs. In case you have a complex buyer journey and need to match the CRM data together with the analytics data, Funnel.io and Improvado are probably not the best choices. In case you would like to get started without talking to a salesperson, your choice would be Supermetrics, Windsor.ai or Fivetran.

Some of the tools have vital features for enterprises, while a mid-size business won’t pay for them.

With some tools, you pay more for the integrations, with others – for the amount of data you send. Some of the tools provide the attribution modeling you might be looking for.
