Why choose Bridge over Domo.

Domo is the cloud platform your customers explore in. Bridge sits on your API and handles the one ask they made, in chat.

01Workflow

Handled in chat, not built in a BI platform.

Domo is where a BI team wires up connectors and builds the dashboards your customers explore. Bridge sits on your API. The CSM types the customer's ask in chat, Bridge builds the view, the link goes back in the same conversation. No pipeline to wire up.

02Custom dashboards

Built in chat, not piped in advance.

A new dashboard in Domo means a connector, an ETL flow, and a set of cards. Bridge builds the one your customer asked for once, in chat against your API, scoped to that customer and shared as a white-labeled link they open themselves.

In their format, not a card export.

Bridge writes a CSV in the shape your customer asked for, with custom and calculated columns included. Saved as a view they can re-run. Their format becomes the default, not yours.

Minutes, not a build cycle.

In Domo, a custom ask runs through the BI team: wire the connector, build the pipeline, ship the card. In Bridge, the CSM types the ask, Bridge calls your API and builds the view, and the link goes back in the same conversation.

Should you choose Bridge or Domo?

Bridge sits on your API and handles custom asks in chat. Domo is the cloud BI platform where analysts and customers explore data on their own. They cover different jobs.

Best for most teams

Choose Bridge

  • Custom dashboards
    The one your customer asked for once, built in chat and scoped to them.
  • Custom fields
    Calculated across every record, live, with no pipeline.
  • Custom exports
    A CSV in the customer's format, with calculated columns included.
  • One-off asks
    Anything that does not warrant a built dashboard, handled in minutes by your CSM.
Start a free pilot

14-day pilot. One customer. No card.

Different job

Choose Domo only if

  • Your customers want to explore their own data with cards and drill-down.
  • The dashboards they need repeat across accounts and warrant a pipeline.
  • You need broad connectors and data apps feeding one cloud platform.
  • You have a BI team to wire up the data and own the deployment.

Still deciding which tool fits the ask?

If your customers want a cloud BI platform to explore in, that is Domo. If you want a customer's one-off ask handled in chat, that is Bridge.

  • 14-day pilot on one customer
  • No card to start
  • Keep Domo for self-serve BI

The questions we get most.

Yes. They cover different jobs, so you can run both. Domo for the dashboards and self-serve exploration your customers run themselves. Bridge for the one-off asks they make through your CSM.

Yes. They type the ask in plain English. Bridge calls your API, computes whatever needs computing, and builds the view. No ETL. No Beast Mode formula. No BI team pulled in.

That is what Domo's cards and dashboards are for, and it is good at it across many connected sources. Bridge does something else. It handles the single ask a customer made once, scoped to that customer and shared as a white-labeled link, without sending them into a BI platform to find it. For self-serve exploration, use Domo.

No. A cloud BI platform with broad connectors, data apps, and executive dashboards is Domo's job. Bridge handles the customer-facing ask that does not warrant a built dashboard. If your customers want to explore, keep Domo. It is a strong, well-supported platform.

Domo is the right tool. Bridge generates a view from a single ask. It does not replace exploration. If your customer wants to pivot, filter, and slice for an hour, give them Domo.

Domo uses a consumption-based credit model, with credits burned by storage, table updates, workflows, and ML, and publishes no list pricing: the pricing page is a contact-sales flow. Reported annual costs start near $30,000 for small teams and run higher for mid-market deals, and there is a 30-day free trial with no card. Bridge is $199/month for up to 5 connected customers, with unlimited CS seats. Past 5, pricing moves to enterprise and we size it with you. The pilot is free for 14 days, no card. Different models. See the Bridge pricing page for detail.

Only what your API exposes. Queries are authenticated per session. Per-customer activity logs are on by default. We do not train models on your data.

Start saying yes to custom asks without a BI build.

14 days. One customer. Free. Then $199/month for up to five connected customers, enterprise past that.
