Notes
AI Agent vs No-Code UI
Hevo provides a drag-and-drop UI for ELT. Skippr is an AI agent that automates the entire pipeline — including what comes after loading.
dbt Models Included
Hevo loads data into your warehouse. Skippr loads, cleanses, and generates production-ready dbt models automatically.
Self-Hosted Privacy
Hevo is SaaS-only. Skippr runs in your environment — ideal for regulated industries.
One Tool, Not a Stack
With Hevo you still need dbt, a data quality tool, and a cataloging solution. Skippr replaces all three.
