MetriQuill

Free$0 forever, no card needed
Solo$49 one-time, lifetime access
Agency$99 one-time, unlimited clients

Google Data Studio

$0

the free tier is genuinely unlimited; a paid Pro tier runs $9/user per project/month for team features

cost stays low, but so does the reporting-specific tooling — you're assembling a report builder, not buying a finished one

Free, or per-seat subscription for Pro · White-label: none — reports carry Google's own interface, and there's no one-click branded PDF export

Google Data Studio pricing reflects publicly listed rates we found as of September 2026 — SaaS pricing changes often, so confirm current numbers on their site before you decide.

To be fair

Where Google Data Studio genuinely does well

Free, with no meaningful usage cap
Deep native access to GA4, Google Ads, Search Console, and BigQuery
A huge community connector ecosystem

Why agencies look elsewhere

Common reasons agencies switch

—Built for internal analysis, not client-ready deliverables — no white-label, no polished PDF export out of the box
—Renamed twice in four years (Data Studio → Looker Studio → back to Data Studio in April 2026) — confusing to bookmark or explain to a client
—Meta Ads needs a paid third-party connector to pull in cleanly
