What to look for in an Alteryx alternative in Hutchinson, Kansas
Most Alteryx alternatives convert your workflows and stop there. PlaidCloud imports your .yxmd workflows AND your .yxdb data in one click, turns them into fully editable visual workflows, and gives you the rest of the stack on day one: your own open Iceberg lakehouse, Apache Superset dashboards, and AI apps deployed on your governed data.
What to evaluate
- Does it import your workflows *and* your data, or just transpile the logic?
- Do nested macros and dependencies survive as editable steps, or become black boxes?
- Is there a lakehouse and a BI layer included, or do you still license those separately?
- Does per-seat pricing punish you for rolling it out beyond the original team?
- Are there SQL and Python escape hatches when the visual layer runs out of road?

How it works
How PlaidCloud Works
Connect, model, and deploy on one platform — no black boxes, no lock-in.
Connect directly to your source systems
ERPs, CRMs, warehouses, and files — 140+ connectors plus a unified REST step. Ingest financial and transactional data without a rebuild.
Prepare and blend data of any size
Pre-built standard steps sanitize, organize, and align data from multiple sources, with AI-assisted low-code transformation doing the heavy lifting.
Build driver-based models and allocations
Assign costs from sources to targets using real driver data, with activity mapping and a full traceback on every allocated number.
Build workflows and apps with AI
Describe what you need through your tenant’s MCP server. PlaidCloud builds and deploys it, and answers “what moved margin?” with attributed root cause.
Deploy apps and share results
Schedule runs, publish Apache Superset dashboards, and share governed results across the business under your existing roles and permissions.
Why teams switch
Better. Faster. Cheaper. Safer.
Most stacks make you pick two. PlaidCloud refuses the trade-off.
One platform, end to end
Your own open Iceberg lakehouse, a visual and AI workflow canvas, enterprise dashboards, and deployable AI apps — in one place, with no black boxes and no lock-in.
- One platform, end to end
- Your own open Iceberg lakehouse
- Enterprise dashboards built on Apache Superset
- AI-native via MCP, with margin analysis built in
Better
One platform, end to end
Your ERP does not measure true profitability.
Most finance teams still calculate profitability using spreadsheets built on top of ERP exports. This creates hidden cost allocations, slow reporting cycles, and limited visibility into margin.
- Manual Excel models
- Hidden allocation logic
- Slow financial reporting
- Incomplete profitability insights
