Why teams look for a Funnel alternative
Funnel is a marketing data hub. Four limits sit on its own pages: no checks of metric values, read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, connectors on request and a bill that grows with usage (Funnel pages, read 30 October 2026).
Governance
Naming checks and failure alerts, no checks of metric values
Funnel's pages describe naming rules and alerts when a source or export fails, and no checks of metric values against your rules (read 30 October 2026). Improvado's Marketing Data Governance checks metrics against your rules, and the agent proposes the fix (product update, 8 September 2026).
- 64% Improvado, governance score
- 50% Funnel, governance score
The agent
Funnel's MCP tools are read-only
MCP connects an AI assistant to a data tool. Funnel's own MCP guide says its tools are read-only (read 30 October 2026). Improvado's AI Agent pauses campaigns and moves budgets on supported ad platforms after your approval.
- 84 MCP tools for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex
- Paused at creation, confirmed before each change
Connectors
A missing connector is built by Funnel's team, on request
Funnel's data requests service builds a missing connector on Business and Enterprise, and it may use extra flexpoints (read 30 October 2026). Improvado's AI Agent builds one with the Custom Connector Builder.
- 1,400+ data sources listed
- 4 to 8 weeks, a published estimate (support terms of 2023)
The bill
Every connector and account adds flexpoints
Funnel bills usage in flexpoints, units that each connector, account and destination uses (help center article of 11 September 2026, read 30 October 2026). Every plan starts at 400 flexpoints, sold in bundles of 100. Size your own bill.
- 50 a connector
- 5 an ad account
- 150 a dashboard destination
- 300 a warehouse destination
Power BI, Tableau and BigQuery need Business. Snowflake, single sign-on (SSO) and the audit log need Enterprise.
What Funnel.io does and who it fits
Funnel, sold at funnel.io, is a marketing data hub. It collects ad and analytics data, maps it to one model and sends it to dashboards, BI (business intelligence) tools and warehouses. It has no in-product SQL or dbt layer and exports to warehouse tables (help center, read 30 October 2026).

Ten buying questions, Funnel and Improvado side by side
Improvado leads on 6 of the ten questions below, Funnel on 2, and 2 are even (vendor pages, read 30 October 2026). Governed data and an agent that acts, against a lower entry price and a free trial. The full head-to-head is in Improvado vs Funnel.io.
| Question | Funnel | Improvado | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| How to try it | A 30-day free trial, no card | Its pricing page lists no free trial. MCP Only is self-serve at $100 a month | Funnel |
| Entry price of the managed data hub | Starter $300 a month in the US, €280 in Europe, billed annually, plus flexpoints | Starter from $20,000 a year, about $1,667 a month | Funnel |
| What the entry plan includes | 117 connectors on Starter. Warehouses, Power BI and Tableau need Business | Every connector and destination, 20M rows a year (a row is one record in a data table) and one workspace, a separate account area (pricing page) | Improvado |
| How many connectors | 600+ per funnel.io: 117 on Starter, 579 on Business | 1,400+ data sources | Improvado |
| Whether the AI can change campaigns | Funnel MCP tools are read-only | AI Agent pauses campaigns and moves budgets on supported ad platforms after you confirm each change | Improvado |
| Who builds a missing connector | Funnel's team, on request | The AI Agent with the Custom Connector Builder, or Improvado engineers on request. A published estimate of four to eight weeks (support terms of 2023), paid from professional services credits, which Starter does not include (pricing page) | Improvado |
| How campaigns are governed | Naming rules, and alerts when a source or export fails | Naming rules, metric checks and alerts, and the agent proposes the fix (Marketing Data Governance) | Improvado |
| How the bill grows | Flexpoints per connector, account and destination | Rows per year by plan. No fee per connector | Improvado |
| Security reports | A SOC 2 Type 2 report, an outside audit of how a vendor guards data, and ISO 27001 (security page) | SOC 2 Type 2, and a HIPAA BAA on Growth and Enterprise (trust page, pricing page) | Even |
| How detailed the data is | Campaign, ad group or ad level per data source (help center). Its multi-touch attribution (MTA) add-on needs event-level data from GA4 (Google Analytics 4), Segment or your CRM (customer records) (setup requirements) | User-level rows matched to your CRM (attribution page). Improvado's pages describe no click-level rows, so both score Partial here | Even |

Funnel.io pricing in 2026
Funnel sells Starter and Business, billed annually, plus flexpoints for every connector, account and destination (funnel.io, read 30 October 2026). The table lists each tool's entry and next plan, then the worksheets size a bill.
| Tool | Entry plan | Next plan | Billing note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Funnel | Starter $300 a month in the US, €280 in Europe | Business $600 a month in the US, €560 in Europe | Billed annually, plus flexpoints. Enterprise by quote |
| Improvado | MCP Only $100 a month, billed monthly | Starter from $20,000 a year with 20M rows, Growth from $41,700 a year with 60M to 200M rows | Rows per year by plan. Enterprise by quote |
| Adverity | Custom quote | Custom quote | No list prices, quote only |
| Supermetrics | Starter $44 a month in the US (archive, 5 October 2026), €39 in Europe, billed yearly | Growth $177 a month, €159 in Europe, billed yearly | Caps on sources, accounts and users. Enterprise by quote |
| Windsor.ai | Free plan | Basic $19 a month billed yearly, $23 monthly | Enterprise by quote |
| Coupler.io | Free plan | Starter $24 a month billed yearly, $32 monthly | Company single sign-on on Custom. Audit logs on request |
| Porter Metrics | Free-forever plan | $15 a month for one account billed monthly, $12.50 billed yearly | Volume bands down to $2 per account a month at 200+, billed monthly |
| Fivetran | Free up to 500K monthly active rows | Usage-based | $5 a month base charge per connection under 1M monthly active rows |
| Whatagraph | Max from €699 a month, billed yearly | Prime by quote | BigQuery, API (developer interface) and single sign-on are Prime add-ons |
| TapClicks | Prices by quote | Higher tiers by quote | The pricing page shows no prices |
Your Funnel flexpoints, by the rate card
| 14 connectors | 14 x 50 = 700 |
|---|---|
| 28 ad accounts | 28 x 5 = 140 |
| 2 dashboard destinations | 2 x 150 = 300 |
| 1 warehouse destination | 1 x 300 = 300 |
| Flexpoints used | 1,440 |
Buy 1,500 flexpoints by Funnel's rate card: 11 bundles of 100 above the 400-flexpoint minimum.
Business is needed for a warehouse destination. It costs $7,200 a year for the first 400 flexpoints, and the 11 extra bundles have no listed price (pricing page, read 30 October 2026).Funnel lists no price for Enterprise, so the first 400 flexpoints and the 11 extra bundles are by quote (pricing page, read 30 October 2026).
Improvado Starter is $20,000 a year, with no fee per connector. Ask Funnel for the bundle price.
Worked example: a 25-client agency
| 2 ad accounts a client | 2 x 5 = 10 |
|---|---|
| 1 dashboard destination a client | 1 x 150 = 150 |
| 25 clients | 25 x 160 = 4,000 |
| 2 connector types (Facebook Ads, Google Ads) | 2 x 50 = 100 |
| Flexpoints | 4,100 |
Separate client workspaces need Business, from $7,200 a year for 400 flexpoints, and the 37 extra bundles have no listed price (pricing page, read 30 October 2026). Connector flexpoints are counted once: whether each client workspace repeats them is not stated (rate card, read 30 October 2026). Improvado lists no 25-client price, and Growth stops at 10 workspaces: expect a quote.

Switching takes six steps: one scoping call, four setup steps, then a side-by-side run until totals match (setup docs, read 30 October 2026). No weeks are documented for steps 2 to 5, so the call sets the end date. Green marks a documented time.
List sources, accounts, destinations, reports, custom dimensions, rules and the renewal date. Agree history, the security review and who owns the switch-over day.

AutomaticSource for step 5

Your teamSource for step 6
Paid to renewalFunnel bills annually only, so its year is paid until your renewal date.
$20,000 a yearImprovado Starter, the only new cash. Ask whether it bills upfront or monthly.
Start Improvado a few weeks before your Funnel renewal, so only those weeks overlap. Agencies pay Funnel Business and an Improvado quote (pricing pages, read 30 October 2026).
- Backfill covers your history to each source's API limit (backfill docs). Whether backfilled rows count is not stated (read 30 October 2026). Ask for the backfill range per source on the call.
- Check your renewal date. Funnel's pricing page shows annual billing and no notice terms, and Improvado's lists none either (read 30 October 2026). Ask for both on the call.
- Agencies move in batches. Pilot two clients for one reporting cycle, then move the rest in batches. Ask on the call whether one workspace holds several clients and how your Looker Studio reports repoint.
