IndieAnalytics's answer

With each side-project I was launching, I always needed 3 things: analytics, waitlist, contact us forms. Instead of signing up for 3 different services and navigating between 3 services to check the status of my launch every day, I decided to build my own so I can see it all in one location.

Grapple's answer:

Jack, co-founder/CEO, had the idea for Grapple a couple years ago after spending almost a decade building in Tableau, Looker, Google Data Studio, Trevor.io, and the list goes on! Jack spent a lot of time collaborating with non-technical users in sales, marketing, bizops, finance on dashboards and after one particularly simple report that was still difficult to generate, he thought there must be a better way! Turns out, most data platforms require a ton of other tools and a ton of other people all of which are slow and expensive—delaying your time-to-insight. Jack had the idea to compress the data stack into a single tool, that maybe couldn't do everything, but would be the fastest, easiest way to pull the types of reports he pulled all the time over the last 10 years. Fast-forward to today, Andrew joined as co-founder/CTO and Grapple is now generally available and includes a suite of AI features to take Grapple's speed and ease of use even further. Let us know what you think!

IndieAnalytics's answer

Indiehackers and early founders who are just about to launch their first landing page. Users who have not yet started implementing analytics, waiting lists, and contact us forms benefit from using IndieAnalytics early on so that they spend less time shopping around or building, and more time launching.

Grapple's answer:

Grapple is great for data savvy operators who love working with data. We're particularly helpful for companies with 25 to 500 employees who serve other businesses (B2B) and are focused on improving their CRM analytics and SaaS metrics. If you're using apps like Salesforce, Hubspot, Zendesk, Stripe, or Asana, Grapple is for you!

If you want to write data notebooks in python or SQL and want under-the-hood control of your data stack, Grapple is not for you. We recommend you try Omni or Hex.

IndieAnalytics's answer

To get all the key information about your product in one spot, there is no alternative to IndieAnalytics. Don't sign up for 3 services and constantly check each one to see web analytics and then for waitlists and then for contact us messages. Just use IndieAnalytics and save yourself some time and some browser tabs.

Grapple's answer:

Grapple is built for small to medium-sized companies who haven't successfully implemented traditional BI software like Looker, Power BI, Tableau, or other solutions like DataRails and Domo. Traditional BI software requires a lot of technical knowledge to setup, maintain, and they often make it really difficult for less technical users to customize. This means your dashboards either 1) don't work, or 2) aren't flexible and easy to use enough to let operators adjust them as they need during the course of businesses.

Grapple is designed from the beginning for non-technical operators across marketing, sales, and finance.
