Why Enterprises Switch

Accurate by Default

Every answer comes from one governed semantic layer. No tuning, no trade-offs.

Built for Hard Questions

From simple metrics to multi-fact analysis, out of the box. No extra modeling.

AI and BI in One Flow

Ask, drill anywhere, and ask again. Spreadsheets write back to your warehouse.

One Predictable Price

No LLM token charges. Bigger models and longer chats don't raise your bill.

AI and BI. One Unbroken Flow.

Omni's AI is split between search, dashboards, and queries, and its spreadsheets can't write back. ThoughtSpot connects AI search, dashboards, and spreadsheets on one governed model, so users go from question to answer to action without switching tools.

ThoughtSpot
  • From AI to dashboards and back.Ask in Spotter, drill into any visual, and keep asking.
  • Spreadsheets that write back.Analyze live, governed data and write back to your warehouse from the same sheet.*
  • Spreadsheet work gets reused.New data, columns, and formulas feed other queries.
  • Monitoring that runs on its own.AI watches your metrics and flags anomalies proactively.
Omni
  • AI split across surfaces.In-dashboard AI is read-only Q&A, and drills follow preset paths.
  • No spreadsheet writeback.Input tables live on a separate surface.
  • Spreadsheet data stays put.It can't be used in other queries or analysis.
  • Alerts wait for thresholds.Anomalies surface only when someone sets a rule.
TS Customers
“Spotter makes it so much easier to run through a massive amount of data from thousands of reports over the last five years. Having this ability makes it possible to proactively identify opportunities to make improvements and potentially save a lot of money.”

Moa Eriksson, Head of Data and AI, Hemso

Accurate Answers. Even On Hard Questions.

In Omni, accuracy depends on how much context the AI receives and how much you pay for it, and complex questions need extra modeling first. ThoughtSpot answers from one governed semantic layer, from simple metrics to multi-fact analysis, accurately by default.

ThoughtSpot
  • Accurate by default.No accuracy settings to tune, no cost trade-off.
  • One governed semantic layer.Metrics, logic, and joins are defined once and used by every agent.
  • Hard questions, out of the box.Multi-fact analysis, forecasting, cohorts, and Python-powered analysis with no extra modeling.
  • Every answer explained.Plain-language logic with patented search tokens that anyone can check.
Omni
  • Accuracy is a setting.Query validation is off by default. Better answers mean more context and higher cost.
  • Governance is opt-in.AI answers aren't guaranteed to match governed definitions.
  • Complex questions need analysts.Multi-fact analysis requires YAML modeling and Composite Topics, still in beta.
  • The AI is a black box.Users can't see the reasoning behind an answer.
TS Customers
“Giving the team access to ThoughtSpot's AI has been an absolute game changer from my point of view. Everyone can self-serve to a level that they've never been able to before, on reliable data built by the data team.”

Bhav Patel, Director of Data, Huel

Predictable Spend at Any Scale.

Omni sends your entire data model context to an LLM with every query, so larger models, longer conversations, and more users all raise the bill. ThoughtSpot keeps that context in-house, so costs stay flat as usage grows, with no pass-through charges.

ThoughtSpot
  • Bigger models, same cost.Model context never goes to an external LLM.
  • Longer chats, same cost.Conversation length and question complexity don't add tokens.
  • Same question, same answer.Every query follows a deterministic path. No credit spikes.
Omni
  • Bigger models, bigger bills.The full data model goes to the LLM on every query.
  • Costs climb with usage.Longer chats, harder questions, and more users all add tokens.
  • Same prompt, different cost.Identical prompts can use very different credit amounts.
TS Customers
“The biggest business impact for us was when the executive leadership could go and ask their own questions, find the problem, and find a solution for it without having to wait for weeks or months to get a new report or data set prepared for them.”

AJ Rao, Director, Business Intelligence & AI, Intuitive Surgical
