Improvado alternative
Including when to stay where you are.
Improvado is an enterprise marketing data platform: heavy on extraction, governance and warehouse delivery, with a free tier and a $100 a month MCP-only plan as entry points. The tiers that do the real work are custom-quoted. The usual reason to look elsewhere is that you want answers rather than infrastructure.

Enterprise marketing data platform
What Improvado actually is.
A marketing data platform aimed at mid-market and enterprise teams. It extracts from a very large catalogue of sources, applies data governance and transformation, and delivers into warehouses and BI tools. Recent releases lean heavily on an AI agent and MCP access for querying that data.
What it costs
Verified on their pricing page: a Free Limited tier at $0, an MCP Only tier at $100 a month covering 2M rows a year and 300 MCP actions a week, then Advanced and Enterprise, both custom quote. Advanced is described at 600M rows a year and up to 50 workspaces; Enterprise at 1B rows a year and unlimited workspaces.
How it scales: Priced by data volume in rows per year, actions per day and number of workspaces, with the meaningful tiers custom-quoted. Multi-touch attribution, creative analytics, incrementality and marketing mix modelling are add-ons rather than included.
The part most comparison pages leave out
Where Improvado beats us.
This is our page, so treat everything on it with the scepticism it deserves. Here is what we would tell you if you asked us directly:
- A vastly larger connector catalogue than our 12, and genuine depth in obscure and regional ad platforms.
- Real enterprise data governance: HIPAA compliance, SSO, workspace-level controls and white-glove onboarding services.
- Warehouse delivery and transformation, so a data team can own the model. We deliberately do not do this.
- Marketing mix modelling and incrementality testing as add-ons, neither of which we offer.
Side by side
Improvado vs Agentcroft.
| Improvado | Agentcroft | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Mid-market and enterprise with a data function | Teams with no data function, and agencies |
| Core job | Extract, govern and deliver data | Answer what happened, why, and what next |
| Connectors | Very large catalogue | 12, the mainstream ones |
| Pricing visibility | Free and $100 tiers public; the useful tiers are custom quote | Fully public, flat |
| Setup | Implementation and modelling | Connect and it reports |
| Warehouse delivery | Yes, a core strength | No, deliberately |
| Governance and compliance | HIPAA, SSO, workspace controls | Not at that level |
The difference
What we do differently.
- We are an answer layer, not a pipeline. Nothing needs modelling before it produces something useful, and there is no data engineer in the setup path.
- Pricing is public and flat. You can see what it costs without a sales call.
- Our memory is client-visible and correctable, and it drives the reporting rather than sitting behind an API.
- We are viable at one small business. Improvado's shape assumes a marketing data function exists.
The verdict
Which one should you actually pick?
Look at us if
- You do not have a data team, and the tool needing one is the blocker rather than a detail.
- You want to know what to do next, not to own a governed pipeline.
- You want to see the price before you speak to a salesperson.
- You are a small business or a small agency, where enterprise data platform economics do not work.
Stay with Improvado if
You have a data function, dozens of sources including regional platforms we do not connect to, and real compliance requirements. Improvado is built for that and we are not. Our 12 connectors would be a downgrade for you.
Still working out what you need rather than which vendor? The buyer's guide covers the five questions worth asking any of us on a demo, and what marketing intelligence is starts further back than that.
Common questions
Improvado vs Agentcroft, answered
Is Improvado too much for a small team?
Usually, yes. Its architecture assumes somebody owns the data model, and its meaningful tiers are custom-quoted enterprise contracts. The free and $100 MCP tiers are real, but they are entry points to that platform rather than a complete reporting solution for a small marketing team.
Does Agentcroft connect to as many sources?
No, and it is the clearest gap. We connect 12 mainstream platforms: the major ad networks, analytics, search, three CRMs and the main email tools. Improvado's catalogue is far larger. If your stack includes regional or niche platforms, check our list before anything else.
What do I lose by moving?
Warehouse delivery, data governance features, the long tail of connectors, and marketing mix modelling. What you gain is reporting that works the day you connect it, without an implementation project or a data engineer, at a price you can see up front.
