  • Only Cabin has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cabin the analytics are deliberately shallow: no funnels, no cohort retention, no session replay and no user-level journeys, so anything beyond traffic and event counts requires a second tool.; Domo pricing is not published; contracts start around $30,000 per year minimum, making budget planning difficult without a sales conversation
  • They diverge on capability: Cabin covers Cookieless tracking, Domo covers 1000+ Connectors.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Cabin

  • The analytics are deliberately shallow: no funnels, no cohort retention, no session replay and no user-level journeys, so anything beyond traffic and event counts requires a second tool.
  • Carbon figures are modelled from bytes transferred using CO2.js assumptions about grid intensity and device energy, not measured, so they are directionally useful and should never be presented as audited emissions data.
  • Cabin is a product of Normally, a design studio, rather than a company whose sole business is analytics, which puts a reasonable question mark over long-term roadmap investment and support depth.
  • The 30-day retention on the free tier and 12 months on Plus mean year-on-year comparison needs the $45 Scale plan, which is a large jump for a small site that only wanted longer history.
  • Because it does not use cookies or cross-site identifiers, returning-visitor and multi-session attribution are approximations, which matters if anyone in the business is trying to reconcile it with an ad platform's numbers.

Domo

  • Pricing is not published; contracts start around $30,000 per year minimum, making budget planning difficult without a sales conversation
  • Visualization customization is limited compared to specialized tools like Tableau, with rigid chart types and restricted pixel-level dashboard layouts
  • Version control and merge options for dataflows are very limited, making multi-developer projects prone to conflicts and overwrites
  • Workflows cannot be edited once deployed; any changes require rebuilding from scratch
  • Semantic layer lacks code-based governance, with metric definitions scattered inside individual cards rather than in a centralized governed location

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Cabin: Do I need a cookie consent banner with Cabin?

No. It sets no cookies and collects no cross-site identifiers, and data is stored in the EU, which is the specific reason most buyers switch to it.

Domo: Does Domo offer a free tier or trial?

Domo does not publish pricing on its website and does not offer a standard free tier. The platform uses a consumption-based credit model with minimum viable deployments starting around $30,000 per year. A free trial may be available upon request from the sales team.

Source
Cabin: How accurate is the carbon measurement?

It is an estimate derived from data transfer using the CO2.js model. It is reliable for tracking change over time on your own site and unsuitable as an audited emissions figure.

Domo: What data sources can Domo connect to?

Domo connects to over 1,000 pre-built connectors covering cloud applications, databases, advertising platforms, file services, spreadsheets, enterprise systems, and data warehouses. Custom integrations are possible via API.

Source
Cabin: Who makes Cabin?

It was built at Normally, a research and design studio in London, out of work on data, privacy and the carbon footprint of digital products.

Domo: Can I self-host Domo or is it cloud-only?

Domo is a fully cloud-native, SaaS platform with no self-hosted option available. All data and applications run on Domo's cloud infrastructure.

Source
Cabin: Can it replace Google Analytics entirely?

For traffic, referrer and event reporting, yes. For advertising attribution, audience building and funnel analysis, no.

Domo: What does the credit-based pricing model mean?

Domo charges credits based on data consumption and platform activity. One credit roughly equals processing one million rows of data, though actual burn rate varies with workflows. Users purchase credit packages providing team access with unlimited user seats; only activity consumes credits, not dashboards or team size.

Source
Domo: Does Domo include AI features and what do they cost?

Domo AI features are free as part of your contract, including DomoGPT for AI chat queries. Premium AI capabilities are available through Domo AI Pro, which uses consumption-based pricing on a per-use basis.

Source
Domo: Can multiple teams collaborate on the same dashboard in Domo?

Yes, Domo supports team collaboration on shared dashboards and datasets. However, version control and merge capabilities for dataflows are limited, which can cause conflicts when multiple developers work on the same project.
