What is NocoDB?
NocoDB is steadily expanding from a spreadsheet-database into a fuller project and data workspace.
NocoDB ships at a brisk cadence, alternating feature releases with bugfix point releases. Recent feature drops add a Gantt view, Shared Pages, Bookmarks, Smart Text, Mermaid diagrams, and richer form layouts, while interleaved patches fix groupby retries and a Monaco editor crash. Many headline features are gated to paid and Enterprise tiers.
What is Whatagraph?
Whatagraph is quietly building a data layer beneath its agency reporting tool.
Whatagraph remains an agency-focused marketing reporting platform, but recent releases push two fronts at once: deeper data infrastructure and broader visualization. The Data Storage destination and Snowflake source let it ingest and retain data rather than just pull live API calls each render, while a steady stream of widgets (GeoMap, Gauge, Heatmap) and table controls sharpen the reporting surface clients see. Integration breadth keeps widening with WhatConverts, Shopify collaborator access, and a rebuilt CallTrackingMetrics.
NocoDB vs Whatagraph: editorial side-by-side
NocoDB
6.3ANALYTICS
NocoDB is steadily expanding from a spreadsheet-database into a fuller project and data workspace.
◆ Current state
NocoDB ships at a brisk cadence, alternating feature releases with bugfix point releases. Recent feature drops add a Gantt view, Shared Pages, Bookmarks, Smart Text, Mermaid diagrams, and richer form layouts, while interleaved patches fix groupby retries and a Monaco editor crash. Many headline features are gated to paid and Enterprise tiers.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is broadening beyond its Airtable-style core toward project scheduling (Gantt), document features (Shared Pages, Mermaid), and form sophistication. Paid-tier gating of the marquee features suggests a deliberate push to monetize the open-source base.
◆ Prediction
Expect more view types and collaboration surfaces, with the newest capabilities continuing to land first on Cloud paid and Enterprise tiers before any community-edition trickle-down.
Whatagraph
5.0ANALYTICS
Whatagraph is quietly building a data layer beneath its agency reporting tool.
◆ Current state
Whatagraph remains an agency-focused marketing reporting platform, but recent releases push two fronts at once: deeper data infrastructure and broader visualization. The Data Storage destination and Snowflake source let it ingest and retain data rather than just pull live API calls each render, while a steady stream of widgets (GeoMap, Gauge, Heatmap) and table controls sharpen the reporting surface clients see. Integration breadth keeps widening with WhatConverts, Shopify collaborator access, and a rebuilt CallTrackingMetrics.
◆ Where it's heading
The center of gravity is shifting from a connector that visualizes marketing channels toward a data layer that stores and blends first-party and warehouse data. Storage, 24-month backfill, and Snowflake ingestion all reduce dependence on live API calls and position Whatagraph to own more of the pipeline. Visualization work continues in parallel but increasingly reads as table-stakes polish next to the infrastructure bets.
◆ Prediction
Expect the storage and warehouse thread to deepen, with more destinations, longer retention, and richer blended-attribution tooling on the Max plan. AI-assisted report creation (Create with IQ) is the likely next surface to expand.
