Funnel.io Alternative

Funnel.io reports your data. ViVV Labs acts on it.

From reporting to execution

Funnel.io and ViVV Labs solve different problems. Funnel.io aggregates marketing data from your ad platforms into unified dashboards and reports. ViVV Labs is a tech-enabled media agency that actually executes and optimises campaigns across Meta, Google, and TikTok. If you adopted Funnel.io expecting it to manage your media — and discovered it only reports on it — this comparison explains the gap and how to close it.

What is the difference between reporting and execution?

This is the single most important distinction to understand before comparing these two. They sit at completely different points in the media workflow.

Funnel.io — Reporting

Sees what happened

Connects to your ad platforms, harmonises the data, and presents it in unified dashboards. It tells you how your campaigns performed. It does not change anything inside your ad accounts.

ViVV Labs — Execution

Changes what happens next

Runs your campaigns. Adjusts bids and budgets in real time, rebalances across channels, and optimises toward your targets — with senior strategist oversight at every critical decision.

Funnel.io is a genuinely strong product at what it does. For data teams that need to pull spend and performance data from dozens of sources into a warehouse or BI tool, it solves a real and painful problem. The issue arises only when a brand mistakes data visibility for media management. Seeing your CPA rise in a beautiful dashboard does not lower it. Something — or someone — still has to act on the data.

What does ViVV Labs cost?

ViVV Labs offers two tiers, both scaled per client by ad spend and number of channels: self-service starts from $750 per month, and fully managed engagements run up to around $12,000 per month. Pricing is confirmed on application.

Start self-service. Scale to fully managed.

ViVV Labs grows with you. Early-stage brands can start self-service from $750/month — using the operating system to run campaigns with light-touch support. As spend and complexity increase, brands move to fully managed engagements (up to around $12K/month) where senior strategists own the strategy and the system handles execution. You're never paying enterprise rates for a stage you haven't reached, and you're never capped when you're ready to scale.

Self-service

From $750/month

Run campaigns on the operating system with light-touch support, scaled to spend and channels.

Fully managed

Up to ~$12K/month

Senior strategists own strategy; the Glass Box Engine handles cross-channel execution.

What is the reporting tax growth brands pay?

Many brands assemble a stack that looks complete on paper but leaves a gap where execution should be. A common setup: Funnel.io for reporting, a freelancer or junior in-house hire to interpret the dashboards, and the native ad managers for actually making changes. Each layer adds cost and latency. By the time an insight travels from Funnel's dashboard, through a human analyst, into a decision, and finally into a change inside Meta or Google, the opportunity has often passed.

This is what we call the reporting tax — the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it, paid for in wasted spend and slow reactions. The more sophisticated the reporting, the more acute the frustration when nothing acts on it automatically.

ViVV Labs collapses that gap. The data, the decision, and the execution live in one system — with humans validating the strategic calls rather than manually pushing every button.
