"Funnel makes my daily life easier"

Easy to navigate, fast support, so many connection options, currency management, multiple data export options.

“We were relying on Supermetrics to feed Google Sheets, which we then transformed and connected to Looker Studio. The data refreshes were constantly breaking, and the process was not efficient at all.”

“The Supermetrics API used to go out all the time and would cause all of our reporting to crash. We would have to reconnect everything.”

What makes Funnel better

Drawn from real customer conversations, including teams who switched from Windsor.ai to Funnel.

icon-checkmark-circle-black

Reliability and accuracy

Windsor.ai customers repeatedly cite reliability and attribution issues, and choose Funnel for accurate, trustworthy data.

icon-checkmark-circle-black

Transformation ability

Windsor moves data from A to B. Funnel also normalizes and transforms data automatically inside the platform.

icon-checkmark-circle-black

Built for scale 

Connector tools work until a certain level of complexity and scale. Funnel is built for what comes after.

icon-checkmark-circle-black

A platform, not a pipe

Windsor is a simple data pipe. Funnel adds governance, transformation and native AI/MCP access on top of managed connectors.

icon-checkmark-circle-black

Flexibility

Because Funnel sits above your stack, you can change underlying tools without re-plumbing everything, just point Funnel in a new direction.

More than a pipeline

Because Funnel stores and governs your data, it can do things most of our competitors can't. Windsor moves data to a destination. The analysis and planning still happen somewhere else.

Funnel AI

Ask questions in plain language and get answers, charts and summaries grounded in your own governed data, right inside Funnel.

Track planned versus actual spend across every channel, with pacing that flags when you're over or under, so you can adjust mid-flight.

Funnel MCP

When windsor.ai is the right choice, and when Funnel is better

FAQ

What is the difference between the Funnel MCP and the Windsor MCP? dropdown

With a connector tool like Windsor, the LLM uses the connector to pull the data, one source at a time, when you ask. There's no organized layer in between, so the model has to work out what everything means on the fly: which fields to grab, what a metric refers to, how one platform lines up with another. It does its best and answers confidently, but it's interpreting raw platform data in the moment.

With Funnel, the AI reads from data you've already collected, stored, and organized. The definitions your team agreed on, the history, the context around each number, which market and currency it belongs to, are all there before you ask a single question. So when ChatGPT or Claude queries Funnel through our MCP, it's working from the same trusted numbers your team already reports on, not a live guess at raw data.

Does Funnel store marketing data? dropdown
Yes. Historical, source-level marketing data is stored and maintained so you can change definitions without losing or redownloading it.
Is my data secure? dropdown
Yes, Funnel is ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR compliant.
