What is Mode Analytics?

Mode resurfaces after almost five quiet months with per-user Snowflake sign-in

After the spreadsheet mode in April, this feed shows nothing until September, when Mode added OAuth and OAuth with PKCE for Snowflake. Each user now signs in with their own Snowflake credentials, including SSO, and queries run under that user's permissions. Earlier 2026 work still defines the product: spreadsheets with 70+ formulas beside SQL and Python, cross-source Data Mashup, and a refreshed SQL editor.

What is Tinylytics?

Tinylytics is cleaning its numbers and adding an AI-ranked SEO audit for Ultra customers

Tinylytics shipped a simpler embed script, moved widget setup into Settings, and now excludes hits from cloud hosting networks and Tor, after filtering a Singapore bot source in September that accounted for around 95% of traffic from that country. On Ultra, a new SEO audit has an AI model rank findings into a fix list, with weekly re-checks. Form tracking, Named Goals, stat cards, and timestamped hit imports fill out the period.

Mode Analytics vs Tinylytics: editorial side-by-side

M0.0

Mode resurfaces after almost five quiet months with per-user Snowflake sign-in

◆ Current state

After the spreadsheet mode in April, this feed shows nothing until September, when Mode added OAuth and OAuth with PKCE for Snowflake. Each user now signs in with their own Snowflake credentials, including SSO, and queries run under that user's permissions. Earlier 2026 work still defines the product: spreadsheets with 70+ formulas beside SQL and Python, cross-source Data Mashup, and a refreshed SQL editor.

◆ Where it's heading

Mode's 'one workspace for SQL, Python and spreadsheets' position stands, but the pace on this feed has slowed sharply. The Snowflake change is a governance move, replacing a shared service account with warehouse-level permissions per user, which continues the earlier admin work. It adds no analyst-facing capability.

◆ Prediction

The single entry since April gives little to project from. OAuth for other warehouses would be the natural follow-up, but the feed does not confirm it.

Tinylytics is cleaning its numbers and adding an AI-ranked SEO audit for Ultra customers

◆ Current state

Tinylytics shipped a simpler embed script, moved widget setup into Settings, and now excludes hits from cloud hosting networks and Tor, after filtering a Singapore bot source in September that accounted for around 95% of traffic from that country. On Ultra, a new SEO audit has an AI model rank findings into a fix list, with weekly re-checks. Form tracking, Named Goals, stat cards, and timestamped hit imports fill out the period.

◆ Where it's heading

Three lines are running together: data quality, tools that say what to do next, and agent access. Each filtering change makes the numbers more defensible, the SEO audit moves the product from reporting toward recommending, and the MCP and API keep gaining tools with most releases. The old-hit import, with its original timestamps, also courts users switching from other analytics tools.

◆ Prediction

Expect more audit-style features on Ultra and MCP tools that follow each new dashboard surface, as content issues and widget settings just did. Further traffic filtering is likely, given how often it has come up since September.
