Moving off Domo? The migration is on us.
Knowi replaces the whole Domo stack, not one piece of it. We recreate your Magic ETL flows, Beast Modes and dashboards during onboarding, so migrating from Domo is not a project that lands on your team's desk.
Get your migration map
- A scoped map of what moves easily and what needs work.
- A three-step migration plan with dates that fit around your renewal, not a sales deck.
- An honest read on the pieces of your Domo instance that are hard to move.
You are less locked in than you think. The migration is the small part.
The best time to scope a migration is before your renewal
No drama, just planning. Knowing exactly what switching from Domo would take puts you in control of the renewal conversation.
What would actually move
Most teams overestimate how locked in they are. A scoped migration map tells you which datasets, dataflows, cards and alerts move across cleanly, and which ones are real work.
A real plan, not a threat
Walking into a renewal with a costed plan for leaving Domo changes the conversation, whether you switch or stay. You are negotiating with information instead of a feeling.
Months, not weeks
Migrations planned months ahead of a renewal date run calmly. Migrations started weeks before one do not. The assessment tells you which side of that line you are on.
Scoping the migration early is useful even if you never leave. That is the point of a free assessment: you find out what a switch would cost you before anyone asks you to sign anything.
What actually moves, piece by piece
Your Magic ETL logic exports as JSON and your raw data already lives in your own sources. Here is how each piece of a Domo instance maps across when you migrate.
Every migration has edge cases. The assessment call tells you which of yours are easy and which need work, before you commit to anything.
The rebuild is ours. That is what "on us" means.
Most migration projects stall for one reason. The replacement platform asks your team to rebuild the pipelines and the calculations by hand, on top of the day job, and nobody has that quarter free.
Knowi recreates the Magic ETL logic, the Beast Modes and the dashboards during onboarding on an annual contract. It is not billed as a separate services project, and it is not a partner you have never met.
Domo stays live until the numbers match.
Nobody should cut a reporting stack over one weekend and hope. Both platforms run side by side on the same sources through the cutover window, so your team can compare card against widget, number against number.
You switch when your team signs off, not when a migration plan says the date has arrived.
Three steps. No big-bang weekend.
One platform, plus a team that does the migration work with you. You validate as we go, and Domo stays live until you sign off.
We inventory your Domo instance: datasets, dataflows, cards and alerts. You leave with a scoped migration map whether you move forward or not.
Our team recreates the pipeline logic, the calculations and the dashboards in Knowi. You review each piece as it lands, not all of it at the end.
Both platforms run side by side until the numbers match and your team signs off. Then you switch, on a date you picked.
Understand your Domo bill before you renew it
Domo does not publish pricing, so here is what the public record shows. Knowing your own numbers is step one of the assessment.
Domo meters a pre-purchased credit pool. Data refreshes, dataflows, storage and AI usage all draw it down, so cost tracks usage patterns rather than headcount, which is why bills climb without new users. Domo ended fiscal 2026 with 84% of its ARR on this model.
Vendr's benchmark across 91 Domo purchases: a median around $50,000 per year, with deals ranging from $10,920 to $175,245.
Knowi is a flat annual platform fee scoped to your deployment. No per-refresh or per-query metering, so the number you sign is the number you pay for the year.
Pull your own credit consumption report before the renewal conversation starts. It is the number that tells you whether a migration is worth scoping at all, and it is the half of the picture only you can bring.

You picked all-in-one for a reason. Keep it.
Some teams replace Domo by assembling a stack, and a good data team can pull it off. But that is months of glue work before anyone sees a dashboard again. There is a simpler route.
The stack route
- A warehouse, an ETL tool, a visualization layer and alerting glue
- Three or four new contracts to negotiate instead of one
- Data engineering time to build it and then babysit it
- Months before dashboards are back in front of anyone
The Knowi route
- One platform: connectors, transformations, dashboards, alerts, AI
- MongoDB, Elasticsearch and REST APIs queried where they live, with no landing step first
- Cross-source joins without moving data into a warehouse
- AI agents that work inside the data layer, not bolted on top
Bring your current Domo contract to the assessment and we will be straight with you about how the two numbers compare.

Domo migration FAQs
What every Domo team asks before the assessment call.
How long does a Domo to Knowi migration take?
It depends on how many dataflows and cards you run, which is exactly what the free assessment scopes. Typical mid-market migrations complete in weeks rather than months, because your raw data stays in your existing sources and only the logic and the dashboards are recreated.
How do we migrate from Domo without rebuilding everything ourselves?
That is the part we take on. Leaving Domo usually stalls because the replacement platform asks your team to rebuild the pipelines and the calculations by hand. Migrating from Domo to Knowi works the other way round: our team recreates the Magic ETL logic, the Beast Modes and the dashboards during onboarding, both platforms run in parallel, and you only switch once your numbers match.
Do we need a data warehouse to leave Domo?
No. Knowi connects directly to SQL databases, NoSQL stores such as MongoDB and Elasticsearch, and REST APIs, and joins across them at query time. If you already have a warehouse, Knowi connects to it. If you do not, leaving Domo does not force you into a warehouse project just to change BI platforms.
What happens to our Magic ETL dataflows?
Magic ETL dataflows export as JSON definitions. During onboarding our team maps that logic into Knowi queries and transformations, and you validate the outputs against Domo before cutover. Because Knowi joins live sources at query time, several Magic ETL flows often collapse into a single query.
What happens to our Beast Modes?
Beast Mode calculations are recreated as calculated fields in Knowi. Most translate directly. The ones that do not are flagged in the assessment, so there are no surprises halfway through the migration.
Can we run Knowi and Domo in parallel?
Yes, and you should. Running both until the numbers match is our standard cutover practice, not an exception we make. You keep Domo live until your team signs off, then you switch.
What does the migration cost?
The assessment is free either way. For annual contracts the migration work is included in onboarding rather than billed as a separate services project. Knowi itself is a flat annual platform fee scoped to your deployment, quoted rather than published, so bring your Domo contract and we will compare like for like.
Is Knowi a full Domo replacement, or just the dashboard layer?
A full replacement. Knowi covers the same span Domo does in one product: native connectors, transformations, a semantic layer, dashboards, alerts and AI agents. That is why a switch from Domo to Knowi is one platform for one platform, rather than one platform for the three or four you would otherwise assemble.

Understand your Domo bill before you renew it
Domo does not publish pricing, so here is what the public data shows. Knowing your own numbers is step one of the assessment.
Domo meters a pre-purchased credit pool: data refreshes, dataflows, storage, and AI usage all draw it down. Cost tracks usage patterns, not headcount, which is why bills climb without new users. 84% of Domo's revenue now runs on this model.
Vendr's benchmark across 85 Domo purchases: median around $50,000 per year, deals ranging from $10,920 to $175,245, and enterprise deployments running $250,000 or more.
Knowi is a flat annual platform fee scoped to your deployment. No per-refresh or per-query metering, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Buyers who walk into a renewal with their own usage report and a live alternative save about 13% on average, whether they switch or stay. The free assessment gives you the alternative half of that equation.

Domo vs Power BI vs Knowi: the honest version
If you are weighing an exit, the real comparison is not feature checklists. It is what each path costs you in money, rebuild effort, and roadmap risk.
| Staying on Domo | Moving to Power BI | Moving to Knowi | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Consumption credits. Refreshes, dataflows, storage, and AI all draw down a pre-purchased pool, so cost tracks usage, not headcount. | Per-user licensing, with Fabric capacity required on top for embedding and Copilot features. Costs scale with seats and capacity tiers. | Flat annual platform fee scoped to your deployment. No per-refresh, per-query, or per-seat metering. |
| Migration effort | None today, but you are renewing into an ownership change with the roadmap still unsettled until the deal closes. | Your team rebuilds dataflows in Power Query and calculated fields in DAX. It is a different paradigm, and the work sits on your desk. | Our team recreates your Magic ETL flows, Beast Modes, and dashboards during onboarding, then runs parallel until you sign off. |
| Stack coverage | All-in-one: connectors, ETL, dashboards, and alerts in one product. That is why it is hard to replace piecemeal. | Visualization is the core. ETL, orchestration, and warehousing typically come from separate Fabric or Azure components you assemble. | All-in-one like Domo: 70+ native connectors, transformations, dashboards, alerts, and AI in a single platform. |
| Data sources | Broad connector catalog, cloud-first architecture. | Strongest inside the Microsoft ecosystem. NoSQL databases and REST APIs usually route through ODBC drivers or land in a warehouse first. | Native SQL, NoSQL, and REST API connectivity with cross-source joins, no warehouse required in between. |
| AI on your data | Domo AI features consume credits from the same pool as everything else. | Copilot is tied to Fabric capacity and works on modeled semantic-layer data. | AI agents run inside the data layer on governed datasets, included in the platform fee. |
Power BI is a reasonable landing spot if you are all-in on Microsoft and have the team to rebuild everything yourselves. If you want the all-in-one model you bought Domo for, without the rebuild landing on your team, that is the gap Knowi was built to fill. The free assessment shows you exactly what your migration would involve, whichever way you lean.
Compare against your actual setupWhat actually moves, piece by piece
Your Magic ETL logic is exportable as JSON, and your raw data already lives in your own sources. Here is how each piece of your Domo instance maps to Knowi.
| In Domo | In Knowi | How it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Magic ETL dataflows | Queries and transformations | Flows export as JSON. We map the logic into Knowi during onboarding. |
| Beast Modes | Calculated fields | Calculation definitions are recreated, with edge cases flagged in the assessment. |
| Cards and Pages | Widgets and dashboards | Rebuilt to match. You review everything before cutover. |
| Alerts and scheduled reports | Alerts and reports | Recreated with the same triggers and schedules. |
| Connectors | Native connectors | SQL, NoSQL (MongoDB, Elasticsearch), and REST APIs, often broader than the original. |
| Your data | Stays where it lives | Knowi connects directly to your sources. No forced warehouse project. |
Every migration has edge cases. The assessment call tells you which of yours are easy and which need work, before you commit to anything.
