washdata alternatives
The best washdata alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 17, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to washdata? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, washdata shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About washdata
washdata is a fixed survey dataset; eight years of releases have changed only its packaging.
A data package distributing the Urban Water and Sanitation Survey, on CRAN since January 2018. No release has altered the data. The 2018 pair added survey country, year and aim to DESCRIPTION and fixed a README link; everything since — 2020, 2024 and the January 2026 release — is documentation, formatting, badges, repository refreshes and updates for a new rhub version.
