COMPARE // IMPROVADO
Improvado alternative with a blended ROAS dashboard and no data team
Improvado is a serious enterprise marketing data platform. It pipes data from a very large connector library (Improvado markets 500 or more, now over 1,000) into a normalized, governed data model, adds data-quality monitoring and an AI analytics layer, and carries SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. For a large enterprise or a big agency with a dedicated data team, it is a genuinely powerful pipeline.

Its pricing changed in 2026 and is worth understanding before you compare. Improvado now publishes two self-serve tiers on its pricing page: Free Limited at $0 a month (50 MCP actions a week, one workspace) and MCP Only at $100 a month (2M rows a year, daily sync, 300 MCP actions a week). Both are aimed at giving an AI agent access to your marketing data rather than at running a reporting stack. The actual platform, Advanced (600M rows a year) and Enterprise (1B rows a year), is still Custom and sold through a demo, and public reference points put those in the tens of thousands of dollars a year.
MixedMetrics is built for the team that wants the answer, not the pipeline. You connect read-only to GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Search Console, Shopify, Stripe, and Klaviyo or HubSpot, and a dashboard with blended ROAS, blended CAC, MER, LTV, and revenue by channel is ready in minutes, with an AI layer that flags what changed and where money is leaking. Pricing is a public flat $79 per month, there is no two-month implementation, and you do not need a data engineer or a separate BI tool to see the numbers.
The short answer
Improvado is an enterprise marketing data pipeline; MixedMetrics is a ready blended marketing dashboard. As of July 2026 Improvado publishes a $0 Free Limited tier and a $100 per month MCP Only tier, both built around AI agent access, while its real reporting tiers, Advanced and Enterprise, remain quote-only and are reported in the tens of thousands of dollars a year. MixedMetrics is a flat $79 a month, connects read-only in minutes, and arrives with blended ROAS, blended CAC, MER, and LTV already calculated, with no data engineer and no separate BI tool.
Last updated July 2026
Improvado is an enterprise ETL and marketing-data platform: 500 or more connectors, deep data modeling and governance, an implementation reviewers put around two months, and a real product that is still quote-only and reaches the tens of thousands per year, with new $0 and $100 per month self-serve tiers sold as AI agent access rather than as a reporting stack. MixedMetrics is the light, self-serve alternative that ships blended ROAS, CAC, and MER out of the box at a flat $79 per month. A data pipeline you implement versus a dashboard that is ready today.

In depth
Improvado pricing and fit, checked in July 2026
How much does Improvado actually cost?
There are now two answers, and mixing them up is the main way people get this wrong. On the published side, Improvado lists Free Limited at $0 a month (50 MCP actions a week, one workspace) and MCP Only at $100 a month (2M rows a year, daily sync, 300 MCP actions a week). Both are AI access tiers. On the platform side, Advanced (600M rows a year, 200 AI actions a day, up to 50 workspaces, creative analytics, multi-touch attribution, data governance) and Enterprise (1B rows a year, MMM, incrementality testing, SSO, white-glove services) are both listed as Custom and sold through a demo.
Public reference points for those quoted tiers put Improvado in the tens of thousands of dollars a year, which matches its enterprise positioning. If someone quotes you a $100 Improvado price for a reporting deployment, they are quoting the MCP tier, not the platform. Ask for the twelve-month figure for the row volume and workspaces you actually need.
Who should choose Improvado over a blended dashboard?
Choose Improvado if the job is data engineering. If you need 500 or more connectors normalized into a governed warehouse, SOC 2 and HIPAA coverage, multi-touch attribution and marketing mix modeling, creative analytics across dozens of brands, and a data team that will feed Tableau or Power BI from it, that is exactly what the platform is built to do and a $79 dashboard is not a substitute. The other serious platform in that bracket is Adverity, which is close in shape but publishes no pricing at all; the Adverity alternative page covers how the two compare on transparency and scope.
Choose a blended dashboard if the job is a decision. Most marketing teams do not need a governed warehouse to answer whether spend is profitable; they need total spend set against total revenue, reconciled to the store and the payment processor. MixedMetrics does that in minutes at a flat $79 a month. See how the wider category prices in our marketing reporting software pricing comparison.
What is the cheapest Improvado alternative?
It depends which half of Improvado you are replacing. If you want the pipeline, Supermetrics starts at about $44 a month on annual billing and Funnel.io at EUR 280 a month, both far below enterprise Improvado. If you want the reporting layer, Databox has a free tier and Looker Studio is free to build in, though both leave the blended marketing math to you.
MixedMetrics sits in a third place: a flat $79 a month with the blended ROAS, CAC, MER, and LTV already computed. It is the cheapest way to get the answer, and the wrong choice if what you needed was the warehouse.
