Where each one falls short

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

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.

Supermetrics

  • Every package includes only 1 core destination; sending the same data to a second destination is a paid extra
  • The Starter plan at 49 EUR per month billed monthly includes 1 user, 3 data sources and 3 accounts per data source
  • Data refreshes are weekly on Starter, daily on Growth and hourly on Pro; on-demand refreshes require Enterprise
  • Refresh scheduling on those tiers is stated for Google Sheets only
  • Snowflake and BigQuery data warehouse destinations require the Enterprise package
  • SAML SSO is Enterprise only; lower tiers get basic single sign-on
  • Data transformations, data residency and region control, multiple teams and Management API access are Enterprise only
  • Enterprise carries no published price and is quote only
  • The 20% saving is only available on yearly billing
  • AI credits are metered per plan at 4,000 monthly on Starter and 12,000 on Growth

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Yes. It is a supported primary channel with catalogue and template message support, though WhatsApp conversation fees from Meta are passed through and are separate from the licence.

Supermetrics: How much does Supermetrics cost?

Supermetrics offers three subscription plans: Starter at EUR 49 per month, Growth at EUR 199 per month, and Pro at EUR 499 per month. Annual billing provides a 20% discount. Enterprise plans require a custom quote.

Insider: Can we run it without vendor help?

You can, but the pricing assumes a managed relationship. Teams with strong in-house campaign operations often find they are paying for services they do not use.

Supermetrics: Can I add extra users or data sources to my Supermetrics plan?

Yes, additional features are available for all plans. Additional users cost EUR 29 to EUR 124 per month depending on plan tier, and additional data sources cost EUR 29 to EUR 37 per month. Additional destinations and ad accounts also carry separate monthly fees.

Source
Insider: Does it work for B2B?

Rarely a good fit. The segmentation, recommendations and channel mix are built around high-frequency consumer behaviour.
