Getting started
If you’re like most businesses, data is everywhere, but syncing, storing, and accessing it is a challenge. An analytics stack is the answer, but deciding how to build one isn’t easy. To help, we’ve compared Xplenty and Panoply on key factors like price, ease of use, and compatibility so you can make an informed decision that fits your needs.
Xplenty is an ETL Tool for Non-technical Data Users
Xplenty is a data integration platform designed for non-technical users who may not have experience with SQL. The platform allows users to create data pipelines using a low-code or no-code visual interface. Xplenty’s pipelines work well for simple point-and-click connections, but users requiring more complex data transformations may be disappointed with Xplenty’s performance.
Panoply is a Data Warehouse + ETL Platform for Analysts
Panoply is the easiest way to sync, store, and access all your business data. The platform combines a powerful data warehouse with code-free ETL, which results in quick and easy setup and minimal upkeep. Users can query data directly in Panoply or connect their preferred analytical notebook or BI tool.

Pricing Structure
Xplenty Pricing
Xplenty’s pricing is calculated per connector, rather than data usage, with users paying a flat monthly rate based on the number of connectors they’re using. Potential users will need to contact the Sales team for specific pricing information as Xplenty does not list pricing on its website.
Panoply Pricing
Panoply offers both monthly and annual plans starting as low as $299 per month. Its pricing model is simple and transparent, based on how many query bytes users need. There are no extra fees for adding users or the number data connectors used so cost is more predictable than with pay-by-the-hour or pay-by-the-row models.
