Supermetrics vs Cervinodata

Supermetrics vs Cervinodata
Cervinodata logo large

Supermetrics has been around since a couple of years. First with Supermetrics for sheets and when Google Data Studio came along, also as Supermetrics for Data Studio. They recently launched Supermetrics for BigQuery. Each of these products will be taken into account in this Supermetrics vs Cervinodata comparison.

Cervinodata has been around since 2014 as the data engine behind Cervinoboard, a templating service for Klipfolio dashboards. In July 2019, Cervinodata was launched as a stand alone online product at https://app.cervinodata.com. The aim was to bring an alternative to Supermetrics, for those users that want to move away from Google Sheets.

A Supermetrics vs Cervinodata comparison makes sense, because many former Supermetrics for sheets users have found their way to Cervinodata. For multiple reasons: First, at bigger volumes of data, Supermetrics for sheets tends to reduce reliability and second, more and more users want more control over their data by centralising the data (in stead of spreading it around in Google Sheets)

A general comparison

Since Supermetrics offers multiple products, mainly one product per data destination, and Cervinodata offers one product with multiple destinations the comparison should be made on a product by product basis.

But there are also general similarities and differences that can be compared. Let's do the general comparison first.
