Which one is for you
Pick Klipfolio if

- 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

Pick Octoboard if

- Works for small teams that want a white-label client portal cheaply
Look elsewhere if

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.
