    what improvado is.

    Improvado is a marketing data platform. It pulls data from more than a thousand sources across marketing, sales and finance into one model, and lets you ask questions of it through its AI Agent, its MCP server or your BI tool.

    It has a free plan and an MCP-only plan; the Advanced and Enterprise plans are quoted after a demo and include professional services. It is built for organisations with many sources to unify and a team to run reporting on top.

    Cogny starts from a different end. It connects to the tools you change things in, finds one concrete next step, ships it once you approve, and comes back to measure whether it worked.

    when to pick which.

    Pick Improvado if

    1. You need hundreds of sources unified, including sales and finance, not only the marketing tools.
    2. You want professional services to model and maintain your data.
    3. Your analysts already work in a BI stack and want a managed data layer under it.
    4. Your main job is reporting across many sources, not shipping changes in them.

    Pick Cogny if

    1. You want the next change shipped, not only found.
    2. You want changes measured and closed with a verdict, misses included.
    3. You work from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex, and want your marketing tools there too.
    4. You'd rather start at $0 or $9 than book a demo.
    5. You're an agency: one workspace per client, the same measured loop in each.
