Causal's a bit like a spreadsheet and a bit like programming — you can use it to construct arbitrary models by creating "variables" and linking them together with "formulas".
Compared to Crystal Ball, it can do all the distribution stuff — variables can take on any kind of distribution you define. But we (try to) make it trivial to use these — you can write formulas like "5 to 10", and we map that onto a sensible distribution for you, so you don't need any probability/stats knowledge, whereas CB is a lot more technical. The CB suite also now includes some other tools that can do things like optimisation, which Causal doesn't do yet.
Causal works in most modern browsers, and we're working on handling non-Chrome browsers better :) Not sure what you mean by "coupled to the google ecosystem"!
