A Supermetrics alternative with attribution built in
Supermetrics moves marketing data from 170+ sources into BI tools, warehouses and AI chats. Grower is one AI system that plans, optimizes and attributes marketing across 17 connections. This fact-checked comparison shows where each fits.
Choose Supermetrics if you want marketing data from 170+ sources piped into Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Power BI, a data warehouse or an AI chat, and your team is happy to build its own reports. Choose Grower if you want planning, budgets, recommendations, approvals and a de-duplicated attribution count in one platform, without building the reporting layer yourself.
What is Supermetrics and who is it best for?
Supermetrics connects marketing, sales and ecommerce data sources to the tools teams already use. Its pricing page lists 170+ connectors, from Google Ads, Facebook Ads and TikTok Ads to Amazon Ads, Criteo, Adobe Analytics and Salesforce, and destinations including Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Excel, Power BI, Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Enterprise plans add warehouses such as BigQuery and Snowflake.
Supermetrics now goes beyond moving data. Supermetrics Studio builds dashboards from a prompt and keeps them on live data. Campaign management lets you ask an AI chat what is happening across Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn, Snapchat and ChatGPT Ads, then change bids and budgets, pause ads or launch campaigns in the same conversation.
It suits data and analytics teams, agencies that report on many client accounts, and marketers who already work in a BI tool or spreadsheet. Supermetrics says 200,000+ companies in 120 countries use it.

When to choose Supermetrics
- Your analysts live in a BI tool. If reports already run in Looker Studio, Power BI, Excel or Google Sheets, Supermetrics feeds them without rebuilding anything.
- You need breadth of sources. The catalog covers retail media, affiliate networks, SEO tools, CRMs and ecommerce platforms that Grower's 17 connections do not list, such as Amazon Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Criteo and Salesforce.
- You own a data warehouse. Enterprise plans load data into BigQuery, Snowflake and other warehouses, so data teams can model it however they like.
- You want to work from an AI chat. Supermetrics connects your data to Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot, and its campaign management applies changes after you confirm them.
- You need a small starting budget. Starter begins at €39 per month billed yearly for one user and two data sources, with a 14-day trial and no card required.
When to choose Grower
Grower suits marketers who want decisions, not a data project.
- You don't want to build the dashboards. Grower reads every connected ad channel, web and app signal and ranks channels by ROAS, conversions, cost, CPA, impressions and CTR in one leaderboard.
- You plan before you report. The AI marketing planner covers market sizing, competitors and personas with ready-to-use targeting per channel, and compares your budgets with live spend every month.
- You need attribution, not just rows of data. The attribution engine de-duplicates conversions across channels and apps into one count and credits each touchpoint with last click, first click, linear, time decay, position-based or a custom model.
- Recommendations should come with evidence. The recommendation engine labels each weekly recommendation by risk. Approve it and Grower pushes it to the channel; autopilot covers low-risk changes only if you switch it on.
- You run an agency. Separate organizations and permissions per client, soft labels per client, automated reports and AskGrower summaries are covered on the agencies page.
The trade-off: Supermetrics connects far more sources and destinations than Grower. If your stack depends on a source outside Grower's 17 connections, or your data team wants raw tables in its own warehouse, Supermetrics fits better.
Switching from Supermetrics or running both
The two tools can sit side by side. A common pattern is to keep Supermetrics feeding the warehouse and finance reporting, while marketers plan, approve changes and read attribution in Grower.
If you run both, agree on one conversion definition. Grower de-duplicates conversions across channels before it credits them; a spreadsheet that sums each platform's own numbers will show more conversions than actually happened. Write down which number goes to leadership.
To switch, list the reports people actually open each month and the sources behind them. Check each source against Grower's 17 connections. In a demo, a specialist connects one of your channels and shows the recommendations it produces, so you can compare that with your current reporting before you change anything. Our analytics platform checklist helps you score both options.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Supermetrics alternative?
If you want another data pipeline, look at other connector tools. If you want to stop assembling reports and get planning, recommendations, approvals and attribution in one place, Grower is built for that. It connects 17 sources, including Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Snapchat Ads, Google Analytics and HubSpot, plus mobile attribution partners such as AppsFlyer and Adjust.
Is Supermetrics an attribution tool?
Supermetrics documents blending CRM and first-party data with channel spend and loading it into warehouses and BI tools, where teams can run their own analysis. We could not verify built-in attribution models on its public pages (checked October 2026). Grower de-duplicates conversions from every channel and app, then applies one of six attribution models, including a custom one.
How much does Supermetrics cost compared with Grower?
When we checked in October 2026, Supermetrics showed prices in euros: Starter from €39 per month billed yearly or €49 billed monthly, Growth from €159 or €199, and Enterprise on quote, with extras for more sources and users. Grower publishes Starter at $199/month for 3 users, Growth at $499/month for 10 users, Enterprise custom, and agency plans from $750/month.
Can I use Supermetrics and Grower together?
Yes. Nothing stops you from keeping Supermetrics for warehouse loads and BI dashboards while your marketing team uses Grower for plans, budgets, recommendations and attribution. Decide which tool owns the conversion number leadership sees, and keep campaign changes for each account in one tool so two systems never edit the same budget.
