Windsor Gives Your AI the Data. Askalytics Checks the Work.
Windsor.ai is a no-code data platform. It connects 350+ sources and sends the data to tools like Looker Studio, BigQuery or an AI assistant such as ChatGPT. The assistant does the analysis, and Windsor does not check what it says. Askalytics reads your marketing data and writes the insight for you. Then layers of checks go over it: code recomputes the math and traces every figure back to your data, and a second AI from a different provider reviews every AI Insight. The AI is included in your plan, so there is nothing else to buy.

Where Windsor.ai Is Genuinely Strong
Credit where it's due. Windsor.ai is a great data pipe. It connects 350+ sources across ads, analytics, social, ecommerce and CRM. Askalytics connects a handful. Windsor sends that data where you want it: Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau, Google Sheets, BigQuery, Snowflake, or an AI assistant like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity through its MCP connector. Through that connector, your assistant can even make changes in some ad platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn and Microsoft Ads). There is a free plan for one source. For analysts and agencies who build their own reports, Windsor is a strong pick. The comparison below is about who does the analysis, and who checks it.
The Takeaway in Three Bullets
Layers of Checks, Not Just AI
With Windsor, your AI assistant reads the numbers and writes the answer. Windsor does not check that answer. Askalytics checks its work in layers. Plain code recomputes percentages and totals from your own data, corrects them when they are off, and traces each figure back to the query that produced it. On every AI Insight, a second AI from a different provider also reviews the reasoning (the Confidence Check). If the checks disagree, you see the more cautious result.
Windsor Wins on Breadth
Windsor connects 350+ sources. Askalytics connects Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Google Ads and Microsoft Clarity, with HubSpot and Mailchimp in Beta. If you need data from dozens of tools in one place, Windsor covers far more ground.
The Insight Comes to You
Windsor does not write insights or send alerts or scheduled reports. You open your assistant and ask. Askalytics sends one AI Insight a week for every website you connect, on every plan. AI Sentinel watches your data every night and flags real changes.
The Bloom & Measure demo property is included on every free trial account.

How We're Different
Four places the two approaches split.
1. Something Checks the Insight.
When you connect Windsor to ChatGPT or Claude, the assistant reads your raw numbers and writes an answer. AI models make two common mistakes with raw numbers, and they sound just as sure when they are wrong. They can add up a column wrong. They can also mix up "no data" and "zero." A day with no data is a gap in tracking. A day with zero sales is a real result. Read one as the other and the whole story changes. Windsor hands the data over, and nothing checks the answer that comes back. Askalytics runs code checks that recompute the math and trace every figure back to your data, and a second AI from a different provider reviews every AI Insight. If the checks disagree, you see it flagged.
2. Every Number Has a Source.
In Askalytics, every figure in an insight comes from a real query against your own data. Each one traces back to the query that produced it, and every insight shows the date window it covers. That gives both the code checks and the second AI something solid to check against. You can look at the queries yourself, too.
3. The Work Comes to You.
Windsor waits for you, or your assistant, to ask. That suits an analyst who knows what to look for. An owner with a business to run may not have time to ask the right question each week. Askalytics sends one AI Insight every Tuesday for each website you connect, on every plan. On the free trial and on Explore and up, AI Sentinel watches your data every night. Viewers (view only) are free and unlimited, so the whole team can read along.
4. One Tool, One Bill.
Windsor's paid plans start at $19 a month billed yearly, or $23 month to month. You also need your own AI assistant, and ChatGPT needs a paid plan to add connectors. Askalytics has the AI built in: no AI keys, no ChatGPT or Claude subscription, no usage bills. Plans run from $19 to $149 a month. Scout ($19) is the weekly insight email plus dashboards. Ask AI starts on Explore at $39. See pricing.
When Windsor.ai Is the Better Choice
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.
Pick Windsor.ai If You:
Need data from many sources in one place. 350+ is far more than we connect.
Build your own reports in Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau or Google Sheets, or load data into BigQuery or Snowflake.
Are an analyst or an agency who is happy to check the AI's math yourself.
Want your AI assistant to make changes in Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn or Microsoft Ads.
Only need one source and want to stay on a free plan.
Pick Askalytics If You:
Own the business or run the marketing, and want answers you can trust without becoming an analyst. Your data lives mostly in Google Analytics, Search Console and Google Ads. You want a checked insight in your inbox each week, and a nightly watch on your numbers. See how we compare to Luca AI too.
Common Questions
Yes, you can. Windsor sends your data to the assistant, and the assistant writes the answer. Windsor does not check that answer. Askalytics writes the insight for you, code checks the math, and a second AI from a different provider reviews every AI Insight.
AI models that read raw numbers can add them up wrong. They can also read "no data" as "zero," which turns a gap in tracking into a sales drop. A wrong answer sounds just as sure as a right one. Askalytics recomputes the math with plain code and traces every figure to your data, and the Confidence Check gives every AI Insight a second opinion from a different provider. If the checks disagree, you see it flagged.
That is a fair point, and Windsor wins on it. Askalytics connects Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Google Ads and Microsoft Clarity, with HubSpot and Mailchimp in Beta. We put our work into checking the answers. If you need data from dozens of tools, Windsor is the better fit.
Windsor has a free plan with one source. Paid plans start at $19 a month billed yearly, or $23 month to month. You also need your own AI assistant, and ChatGPT needs a paid plan to add connectors. Askalytics runs from $19 to $149 a month with the AI built in, so there are no AI keys or extra subscriptions to pay for. Scout ($19) is the weekly insight email plus dashboards, and Ask AI starts on Explore at $39. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial, no card required.
Yes. Every plan gets one AI Insight a week for each website, by email every Tuesday. AI Sentinel watches your data every night on the free trial and on Explore and up. Windsor itself does not write insights or send alerts or scheduled reports. That work falls to the assistant you connect.
It depends on how you work. If your team builds its own reports and wants data from many sources, Windsor fits well. If you want the insight written and checked for you, Askalytics fits. Growth covers 3 websites and Scale covers 5. Viewers (view only) are free and unlimited on every plan.
