What is Cluvio?
Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.
What is Geckoboard?
Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.
Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.

Cluvio
5.0ANALYTICS
Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.
◆ Current state
Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent work tightens existing surfaces rather than opening new ones — the product is maturing its core rather than chasing scope. The exception, querying files without a connected database, points to Cluvio positioning itself for ad-hoc analysis, not only dashboards over warehouses. Expect continued UX consolidation across settings, exports, and pickers, interleaved with occasional capability adds like new chart types.
◆ Prediction
Likely next moves are further build-out of Static Tables — more file formats or richer joins across uploads — alongside continued chart and alerting polish. The cadence reads as incremental shipping rather than a large directional pivot.
Geckoboard
5.0ANALYTICS
Geckoboard is refining the dashboard itself — more filtering control and faster data.
◆ Current state
Geckoboard's recent work targets the mechanics of building and reading dashboards: multi-value GA4 contains filters, cross-object HubSpot filtering, chart granularity decoupled from timespan, configurable week-start, and webhook-driven instant updates for Zendesk agent status. It also shipped a stacked column chart — its first entirely new visualization in years.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is steady refinement of the core dashboarding surface rather than expansion into new product areas. Most releases give analysts finer control over how existing metrics are filtered, bucketed, and refreshed — closing small gaps power users hit daily.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the same: incremental filtering, visualization, and integration-freshness improvements. The single new chart type may signal appetite for more visualizations, but the entries don't confirm a broader push.
