Datasources overview

Get an overview of supported datasources and their configuration within Equals

With Equals you can connect directly to datasources to query live data from your workbook. These datasources include popular SaaS tools, SQL databases and data warehouses.

There are 3 types of supported connectors on current pricing plans: Essential ($99/mo/connection), Standard ($299/mo/connection), and Enterprise (custom pricing).

Beyond supported datasources, import scripts can be used to build custom integrations with Equals pulling in data from outside sources such as third party API's.
