6 reasons companies choose Greenly
over Normative

No hidden costs

Where others like Normative lean on consulting-heavy models with variable costs, Greenly remains a pure-play SaaS platform. You benefit from a transparent, predictable pricing structure for the technology you use, instead of accumulating expenses for manual labor.

Advanced Climate AI with EcoPilot

While Normative relies on "behind-the-scenes" manual quality checks, Greenly’s climate AI automatically scans your entire carbon inventory. Our system triggers automated red flags to identify anomalies instantly, ensuring error-free reporting even for the most complex global datasets.

Product-Level Carbon Tracking (LCA & PCF)

Corporate footprinting is only the beginning. To drive real change, you need to look at your products. While Sweep lacks built-in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools, Greenly provides the granular data you need to track and reduce the impact of every product you sell.

Intuitive UX

Stop wasting time on steep learning curves. Greenly is built for speed, allowing your team to be fully onboarded in weeks, not months. Our intuitive platform empowers you to take action immediately, rather than getting bogged down in complexity or waiting for external consultants.

Global scale and ESG management

Normative’s reach is largely confined to regional markets. Greenly is built for global operations, supporting multi-entity management across 120+ countries. We handle the complexity of international regulations and diverse supply chains that local players simply can’t match.

Beyond generic regional data

Avoid generic regional data. Greenly’s infrastructure offers 300k+ emission factors and 10k+ product LCAs. This localised intelligence across all continents empowers your team to take high-precision action on Scope 3, regardless of your supplier’s location.

AI summary of G2 reviews
  • Ease of Use: Normative is designed for consultants, which can lead to a setup process that takes months. Greenly is built for the end-user, with a streamlined structure that allows for full setup in just a few weeks.
  • Accuracy and AI: Normative still relies on manual, "behind-the-scenes" checks, which leaves room for human error. Greenly uses automated alerts to scan data instantly, providing the speed and precision needed for large-scale reporting.
  • Product vs. Corporate View: Normative lacks a built-in tool for Life Cycle Assessments (LCA). Greenly includes thousands of product-specific factors, allowing for a level of granular detail that general carbon tools cannot reach.
  • Total Cost: Normative’s pricing often includes extra consulting fees for support. Greenly uses an all-inclusive model that covers both the software and expert guidance, leading to lower overall costs for the business.
