Overview
Adverity is a data integration platform designed for marketing and analytics teams. It provides over 600 connectors to advertising platforms, analytics tools, commerce systems, and file storage. The platform focuses on centralizing siloed marketing data, enabling transformation and harmonization workflows, and exporting data into BI tools or warehouses. It is positioned toward enterprise and agency teams managing large-scale campaign and performance data.
Wide range of marketing and commerce connectors (600+)
Transformation and harmonization features built-in
Data quality monitoring (e.g., anomaly detection, deduplication)
Designed for marketing workflows and campaign reporting
Enterprise clients include brands like Colgate, IKEA, and Porsche
Higher pricing tier; not ideal for small teams
Learning curve for full platform adoption
Visualization and reporting features are limited
Performance may degrade with large-scale datasets
Lacks reverse ETL and advanced orchestration features
A reviewer on Capterra:
“Ease of use, various data connection points readily available for integration and extraction, ranging from Social platforms to various DSPs. Users can easily set up a frequent data update and even connect with other dashboards like Data Studio.”
Overview
Matillion is a cloud-native data integration and transformation platform built for modern cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks, and BigQuery. It provides visual, low-code pipeline development with strong orchestration and transformation capabilities, making it suitable for enterprise-scale workloads. While powerful, it is often considered more complex and better suited for mature data teams.
Large library of connectors
Strong orchestration and transformation features
Suitable for large enterprises with complex data workloads
Supports both ETL and ELT patterns
Flexible, visual pipeline development
Can be expensive for smaller teams
Steep learning curve for non-technical users
Overkill for simpler or smaller data operations
A reviewer on G2 said::
“Built-in connectors to many systems, ability to create custom connectors, and an active community with quick responses to technical questions.”
“Some components feel clunky, and certain cloud features lag behind older versions.”
Side-by-side
Weld’s interface is built for clarity and speed, enabling users with varying levels of technical experience to manage data pipelines and models efficiently. Its built-in lineage and orchestration tools provide transparency across workflows.
Adverity offers a clean interface and no-code setup for ingesting marketing data, but configuring transformation logic and understanding data harmonization workflows may require technical onboarding.
Matillion offers a visual interface but still requires technical knowledge to use effectively, especially for more advanced transformations and orchestration.

Side-by-side
Weld offers a simple and predictable pricing model starting at $79 for 5 million active rows. This flat, usage-transparent structure makes budgeting straightforward for small and medium-sized teams.
Adverity is positioned toward enterprise teams with dedicated marketing analytics functions. Pricing typically starts above $500/month and increases with data volumes and advanced feature usage.
Matillion uses a consumption-based pricing model that can become costly as workloads grow, making it less accessible for smaller teams or early-stage companies.

Side-by-side
Weld provides ELT ingestion, SQL-based transformations, reverse ETL activation, data lineage, orchestration, and workflow management in a single platform. Its AI assistant accelerates modeling and transformation tasks.
The platform offers ELT, data transformation, and quality monitoring, with a primary focus on marketing data. It does not support reverse ETL or orchestration features typical of modern data stacks.
Matillion provides extensive transformation, orchestration, and data integration features with a large connector ecosystem. However, it focuses heavily on ETL/ELT and does not cover end-to-end data activation or reverse ETL.

Side-by-side
Users can model data using SQL enhanced by Weld’s AI assistant, automate workflows, and build custom connectors to any API. This provides strong flexibility for teams that want to tailor integrations and transformations within one platform.
Adverity allows some transformation scripting and customization, but lacks extensibility via open APIs or full developer tooling. The platform is more suited to structured marketing workflows than custom pipeline engineering.
Matillion is highly flexible for complex enterprise pipelines, but the platform’s depth can introduce complexity, making it less suitable for teams seeking a simple or lightweight solution.

CUSTOMER STORIES
“One of the biggest impacts has been unlocking new ways to buy media. Before, we didn’t have the data to back up strategic decisions – now we do.”
“Before Weld, we had to rely on custom Python scripts and manual processes that were time-consuming and error-prone.”
“We’re still a team of three, but we’re often doing far more than the equivalent of three full-time employees. That’s down to how we're able to leverage systems, data, and processes.”
“We’ve always been a KPI-driven company. But we wanted to scale that mindset across every team member, every team, every decision.”
“Before Weld, our data infrastructure was limited and we relied heavily on Excel files and custom Python scripts.”
“Weld has saved us a ton of time, from not having data ready to having a fully functional data warehouse and connectors.”
“By integrating Weld, Amazon S3, and Databricks, Soundboks built a modern data pipeline that automates data ingestion, improves reporting, and provides up-to-date visibility into sales performance”
“We didn’t have a good data setup, so we lacked the business insights we needed. Weld has allowed us to set up a structured data infrastructure and access insights quickly.”
