Evidence vs Tinybird
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Evidence and Tinybird — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Evidence vs Tinybird: at a glance
What is Evidence?
Evidence's last release was a February CVE sweep that also removed Evidence Cloud references.
Every tracked Evidence release is from a single day, February 6, 2026: a coordinated patch across the SDK, preprocessor, universal SQL layer and database connectors to pick up dependency updates for CVEs. The SDK patch also removes references to Evidence Cloud.
What is Tinybird?
Tinybird switches off Classic for Free and Developer plans, leaving Forward as the only path.
Tinybird ships a changelog every Friday, alternating between MCP tooling for LLM access and operational controls for its ClickHouse-based stack. On October 16 Classic stopped being available on Free and Developer plans, and Tinybird CLI 5.0.0 for Forward now requires Python 3.11. The prior weeks brought bulk member removal, cluster protection logs, secondary indexes and a configurable deduplication window.
Evidence vs Tinybird: editorial side-by-side
Evidence
0.0ANALYTICS
Evidence's last release was a February CVE sweep that also removed Evidence Cloud references.
◆ Current state
Every tracked Evidence release is from a single day, February 6, 2026: a coordinated patch across the SDK, preprocessor, universal SQL layer and database connectors to pick up dependency updates for CVEs. The SDK patch also removes references to Evidence Cloud.
◆ Where it's heading
Nothing has shipped in the eight months since, so the open-source BI-as-code framework looks to be in maintenance mode. Removing Evidence Cloud references suggests the hosted offering has been dropped or separated, though the entries do not say why.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from the entries whether active development will resume; the next release is more likely another dependency or security patch than new features.
Tinybird
5.0ANALYTICS
Tinybird switches off Classic for Free and Developer plans, leaving Forward as the only path.
◆ Current state
Tinybird ships a changelog every Friday, alternating between MCP tooling for LLM access and operational controls for its ClickHouse-based stack. On October 16 Classic stopped being available on Free and Developer plans, and Tinybird CLI 5.0.0 for Forward now requires Python 3.11. The prior weeks brought bulk member removal, cluster protection logs, secondary indexes and a configurable deduplication window.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is consolidating on Forward as its single platform while moving toward a managed data backend that developers and LLM agents both query. MCP tooling covers the agent side; secondary indexes, dedup windows and on-demand Copy Pipe compute cover operators; bulk member management points at larger, multi-team customers.
◆ Prediction
Classic access on paid plans is the remaining migration question; the entries show the Free and Developer cutoff but no date for higher tiers. Expect further organization-level and MCP refinements meanwhile.
