What is Piwik PRO?

Piwik PRO ships steady fortnightly fix releases with quiet integration improvements.

Recent releases (18.59 through 18.66) follow a tight bi-weekly cadence dominated by analytics bug fixes — chart tooltips, scheduled-report PDF rendering, sorting and pagination edge cases — interleaved with smaller integration improvements: Google Ads account-switching, expanded AI-referral domain detection, sequential-audience sort and filter, in-app contact form. No directional moves in this window.

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.

Piwik PRO vs Cluvio: editorial side-by-side

P
Piwik PRO
ANALYTICS
5.0

Piwik PRO ships steady fortnightly fix releases with quiet integration improvements.

◆ Current state

Recent releases (18.59 through 18.66) follow a tight bi-weekly cadence dominated by analytics bug fixes — chart tooltips, scheduled-report PDF rendering, sorting and pagination edge cases — interleaved with smaller integration improvements: Google Ads account-switching, expanded AI-referral domain detection, sequential-audience sort and filter, in-app contact form. No directional moves in this window.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is in maintenance-and-polish mode, focused on the edges where reports, exports, and integrations break. The most signal-bearing recent change is broader Google Ads account management plus more domains classified as AI-driven traffic — small hints at where buyers are asking for sharper analytics.

◆ Prediction

Expect Piwik PRO to keep shipping defect-density patches at this cadence, with what feature growth there is concentrated in AI-traffic attribution and Google Ads tooling rather than core analytics primitives.

Cluvio
ANALYTICS
5.0

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.
