Which one is for you

Pick Klipfolio if

  • Fits if you want control over how each metric is calculated, with formulas
  • Works for teams whose data sits in databases and APIs as well as marketing tools

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you don't want to learn formulas just to build a chart
  • Pricey if you want white-labeling on a small plan, at $299 a month extra
  • Tight if you need more than 3 dashboards on Base, with extras at $8 a month each
  • Watch out: published links and scheduled reports start on Grow at $190, and SSO is $63 a month extra below Team
  • Watch out: a custom domain alone is $90 a month and a custom theme $69, and PowerMetrics is sold separately

Pick Octoboard if

  • Fits if you want to pay for one module, like PPC or e-commerce, rather than a bundle
  • Works for small teams that want a white-label client portal cheaply

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you use several modules, since each carries its own price and cap
  • Watch out: prices are in euros and yearly billing is shown as 30% off
  • Watch out: the free plan's limits aren't stated on the pricing page
  • Watch out: the agency tab's prices could not be read

  • These prices are for Klips; PowerMetrics, Klipfolio's metrics-based analytics product, is sold separately.

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.
