Common Glew pain points

Why teams look for a Glew alternative.

Limited data access on Pro tier

Glew Pro lacks full warehouse access and is limited to 40 integrations. Deeper data access requires upgrading to the custom-priced Glew Plus.

Undisclosed data freshness

No published freshness SLA — ask how refresh works by source and plan before committing.

SOC 2 Type 1 only

Glew has SOC 2 Type 1 (point-in-time design review), not Type II (operational effectiveness over a period). Type 1 is a weaker compliance signal for enterprise buyers.

Historical data limited to 2 years

Glew's warehouse page states access to 'up to two years of data,' which may not be sufficient for brands needing longer historical analysis.

Looking for a Glew alternative?

If you're evaluating Glew alternatives, you're likely hitting the Pro tier ceiling (40 integrations, no warehouse), facing unclear data freshness, or finding that Glew Plus custom pricing is opaque.

What to look for in a Glew alternative

All-inclusive pricing, not tier-gating. Warehouse access, SQL, custom metrics, and all integrations should be available on every plan — not locked behind custom-priced enterprise tiers that require consulting to implement. Your analytics bill should be predictable from day one.

Data freshness you can count on. Your team needs to know when data was last updated without guessing or manually refreshing. Look for a platform with a documented freshness commitment.

Full historical backfill, not a two-year window. Seasonal trends, multi-year cohort analysis, and long-term customer behavior require full historical data — not an arbitrary two-year cap. Ask any vendor: if we leave, what happens to our data, dashboards, and team's work?

Built-in analytics, no Looker required. Adding a Looker dependency for custom reporting adds cost, complexity, and another vendor to manage. Look for a platform with built-in dashboards, SQL, and AI-powered analysis.

How SourceMedium addresses these needs

SourceMedium includes full SQL access, all 40+ integrations, custom metrics, and an AI analyst on every plan. Reconciled daily data with full historical backfill into BigQuery. Pre-built dashboards and 20 analytics modules work from day one — no Looker or external BI tool required.
