Who each one suits
Databox
- Small teams that want marketing, sales and finance numbers on one screen
- Agencies sending scheduled reports to a handful of clients
- People who want to ask questions about their metrics in plain language
Klipfolio
- Analysts who want full control over how each metric is calculated
- Teams pulling data from databases and APIs as well as marketing tools
- Agencies that want branded client dashboards on their own domain
Worth knowing
Databox
- Plans are capped by data sources, and each account or property counts as one: three GA4 properties use three of the Free plan's three sources.
- Agency covers 4 client accounts and 20 sources; each extra pack of 1 account, 5 sources and 50 AI credits costs $20 a month billed annually ($25 monthly).
- White-labeling is a $200-a-month add-on ($250 billed monthly), and 15-minute syncs cost $14 a month per source; standard syncs are hourly or daily.
- The Free plan has no custom data integrations, so spreadsheets, databases and APIs need a paid plan.
Klipfolio
- Dashboard caps are low on the entry plans; extra dashboards are $8 a month each billed annually ($5 on agency plans).
- White-labeling is a $299-a-month add-on outside Agency Pro and Premier; a custom domain alone is $90 and a custom theme $69 a month.
- Published links and scheduled reports start on Grow; SSO is a $63-a-month add-on below Team.
- These prices are for Klips; PowerMetrics, Klipfolio's metrics-based analytics product, is sold separately.
