Why choose Bridge over Sisense.

Sisense embeds the dashboards your customers explore inside your product. Bridge sits on your API and handles the one ask they made, in chat.

01Workflow

Handled in chat, not built into an embed.

Sisense is where a product team models the data and embeds 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 embed to stand up.

02Custom dashboards

Built in chat, not modeled in advance.

A new embedded dashboard in Sisense means modeling the data and shipping it inside your app. 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.

03Custom fields

Calculated live, not modeled in a cube.

Bridge adds calculated fields across every record without an ElastiCube to model or a dashboard formula to define. No modeling, no rebuild scheduled. The field is live the moment the formula resolves.

In their format, not a dashboard 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 Sisense, a custom ask runs through the product team: model the data, build the dashboard, ship the embed. In Bridge, the CSM types the ask, Bridge calls your API and builds the view, and the link goes back in the same conversation.

Different job

Choose Sisense only if

  • Your customers want to explore their own dashboards inside your product.
  • Self-serve analytics is a feature your product team owns and ships.
  • You need data modeling for analysis at scale across many tenants.
  • You have the product and data capacity to build and maintain the embed.

Still deciding which tool fits the ask?

The questions we get most.

Yes. They cover different jobs, so you can run both. Sisense for the self-serve dashboards your customers explore inside your product. 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 ElastiCube. No embed project. No product team pulled in.

Sisense embeds dashboards inside your product under your brand, and that is what it is built for. Bridge does something else. The view your CSM shares is also white-labeled, but it is the single ask a customer made once, handled in chat and scoped to them, without standing up an embed. For dashboards customers explore on their own, use Sisense.

No. Embedded self-serve analytics built into your product, with data modeling for scale, is Sisense's job. Bridge handles the customer-facing ask that does not warrant an embedded dashboard. If your customers explore analytics inside your app, keep Sisense. It is a strong, well-supported platform.

Sisense is the right tool. Bridge generates a view from a single ask. It does not replace embedded exploration. If your customer wants to pivot, filter, and slice inside your product, give them Sisense.

Sisense does not publish dollar list pricing. Its lower tiers are self-serve with a 7-day free trial and no sales call to start; larger embedded and enterprise deals are sized by sales, where reported annual costs start near $21,000 and commonly run six figures for embedded SaaS use, sized to user count, data volume, and deployment. 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.
