Databox vs NinjaCat (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Databox if

• Fits if you want marketing, sales and finance numbers on one screen
• Works for small agencies with four or five clients on the Agency plan

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if your clients expect reports under your own brand, at $200 a month extra
• Tight if you're on the free plan with more than three accounts to connect
• Watch out: each account or property counts as a data source, and every plan caps sources
• Pricey if you need fresh numbers, as 15-minute syncs cost $14 a month per source on top
• Not for you if you want spreadsheets, databases or APIs on the free plan, as custom integrations need a paid plan

Pick NinjaCat if

• Fits if you run hundreds of client accounts and want agents to prepare reports
• Works for multi-location brands that report by location

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to see prices: the pricing address redirects to the homepage
• Skip it if you want to try it first, as only a demo is offered
• Watch out: it mentions token spend but publishes no usage rates
• Too heavy for a freelancer with a few accounts, since it is built for agencies and portfolios

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.

NinjaCat

• No prices are published; the pricing address redirects to the homepage, where the call to action is to get a demo.
• The site describes the platform as model-agnostic and mentions token spend, but gives no usage rates.
