| Schema Handling | Deterministic discovery & evolution | Schema replication |
| Data Cleansing | Built-in AI-powered cleansing | Basic transformations via workflows |

Notes
AI-Native vs Workflow-Based
Rivery uses visual workflows for data orchestration. Skippr uses AI to automate the entire pipeline — no workflow design required.
Automatic dbt Output
Rivery transforms data in workflows. Skippr generates standard dbt models — bronze, silver, and gold — automatically.
Deploy Anywhere
Rivery is cloud-only. Skippr is a single binary that runs on your infrastructure, in any cloud, or on-premises.
Beyond ELT
Rivery focuses on data movement and transformation. Skippr also cleanses, catalogs, and models your data.
