Which one is for you
Pick DashThis if
- Fits if you build one dashboard per client and want your brand on it
- Works for marketers who mostly report on Google, Meta and LinkedIn ads, with the whole team logged in
Look elsewhere if

- Pricey if you want custom questions in AI Insights Pro, at $19 a month or $15 billed yearly
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as dashboards lock when the 14-day trial ends until you pay
Pick MetricsWatch if
- Fits if you send monthly Google Analytics reports to clients by email
- Works for agencies that want alerts when a site's traffic drops
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a live client dashboard, as reports go out by email
- Tight on Startup: 2 reports for $41, and the next step is 25 for $124
- Pricey if you want alerts too, because they are a separate subscription from $66
- Watch out: Reports and Alerts have no combined plan
How we grade them

That is inside the category's usual spread. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. The 14-day trial gives you 10 dashboards with no credit card. When it ends, your dashboards stay saved but locked until you pay. | C14-day free trial with no card needed. No free plan. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
