Transformation
You shape the data as you build the dataflow: filter, join, aggregate, name the columns, and describe what each dataset holds. The AI works from that structure, not from raw source tables.

AI that answers from your real data
Ask a question. Get an answer you can trace back to a real number, not a guess.
The AI Layer You Control
What sits underneath every answer
Context
Context is the dataset and column descriptions you write once that ship with every query. You write what your data means once, what each column represents and how datasets relate, and every AI query uses it.
Skills
Prebuilt templates for common questions, like revenue by channel or funnel drop-off, so the AI isn't reasoning from scratch each time.
Why teams choose Coupler.io as an alternative to Improvado
A real platform on the self-serve tier
Coupler.io's $24/month Starter plan includes all 400+ sources and real dashboards. Improvado's self-serve tiers cap at 2 million rows a year with no dashboards or governance.
No connector credit math
Coupler.io includes all data sources on every plan. Improvado bills customization credits separately, so building an unsupported source draws from a limited yearly pool.
Published pricing at every tier
Coupler.io lists exact prices for Starter, Active, and Pro. Improvado only publishes Free and MCP Only. Advanced and Enterprise are quote-only.
AI that scales with the plan you're already on
Coupler.io's AI Agent ships with every paid plan. Improvado's AI actions per day stay at zero until you reach Advanced, a custom-priced, sales-gated tier.

Coupler.io is a self-serve platform where every paid plan, starting at $24/month, includes all 400+ sources, unlimited data volume, and the AI Agent.

Yes. Every plan, including Free, is self-serve. You can sign up and connect your first data source without talking to sales.
No. Improvado - marketing analytics platform - has a larger catalog, at 1,000+ sources, compared to Coupler's 400+. Coupler includes all of its sources on every plan; Improvado's larger catalog is most useful once you're on a tier with real data volume, which means Advanced or Enterprise.
Coupler's Analytical Engine runs the calculation against your connected data before the AI responds, and hands the AI a verified number to explain. Every answer traces back to a SQL query you can check.
Yes, you can migrate – but you should consult our team before we move any data.
Yes. Coupler.io is SOC 2 Type II certified and also complies with GDPR and HIPAA, with infrastructure hosted on Google Cloud.
