The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Funnel.io available connectors are gated by plan, at 113 on Starter against 579 on Business, so which sources can be used depends on the tier rather than on need; Insider delivery depends heavily on the assigned account team, so results vary by region and a team change mid-contract can be felt immediately in campaign output.
  • They diverge on capability: Funnel.io covers Multi-channel data aggregation, Insider covers Architect journeys.
  • 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.

Funnel.io

  • Available connectors are gated by plan, at 113 on Starter against 579 on Business, so which sources can be used depends on the tier rather than on need
  • Export destinations are rationed the same way, at 13 on Starter and 46 on Business
  • The entry plan starts at $300 a month billed annually and the next at $600
  • SSO, SAML, audit logging and an enterprise SLA are Enterprise only with no published price
  • Funnel Measure is an add on available only on Business and Enterprise

Insider

  • Delivery depends heavily on the assigned account team, so results vary by region and a team change mid-contract can be felt immediately in campaign output.
  • The suite is licensed by module, so the platform fee quoted at the start typically excludes the channels and predictive features that make the business case work.
  • Template-driven web personalisation targets the rendered DOM, which breaks on single-page applications that re-render after the template applies unless a developer wires in the framework hooks.
  • Reporting exports are limited compared with warehouse-native tools, so teams that want campaign data alongside finance data end up pulling it through the API on a schedule.
  • Contracts are annual and negotiated per traffic band, so a seasonal spike in visitors can push you into a renegotiation rather than a metered overage.
