Comparison FAQ
Why does MetricOra have on-device OCR when others don't?
Field workers often operate in areas with poor connectivity. Our Flutter app uses Google ML Kit for on-device OCR—zero API calls, zero latency, 100% privacy. Data syncs when they reconnect, offline-first.
What's the difference between append-only audit trail and a normal database log?
Normal database logs can be tampered with if someone gains admin access. Our audit trail is immutable: each entry references the previous entry's SHA-256 hash. If anyone alters a past entry, the hash chain breaks. Auditors can detect tampering instantly.
How does MetricOra's Scope 3 estimation work compared to competitors?
Competitors use historical industry averages (generic). MetricOra trains ML models on YOUR historical data—learns your facility's patterns, then estimates missing values. More accurate than one-size-fits-all factors, and it improves as you submit more data.
Why is open-source important for carbon accounting?
Auditors and regulators need to verify calculation logic. Closed-box tools hide formulas. MetricOra's code is public on GitHub. Auditors inspect it, fork it, verify it. That transparency builds enterprise trust.
Which platform should we choose based on this comparison?
Choose based on your workflow. Field-heavy operations (contractors, waste management, logistics) benefit most from MetricOra's mobile OCR and offline support. Enterprise audit-critical orgs (publicly traded, regulated) value our hash-chain immutability and compliance exports. Supplier-heavy companies (apparel, food, manufacturing) need our supplier portal and automated Scope 3 collection.
