Agency client reporting software: 5 tools compared
Short answer: Client reporting tools pull numbers from ad and analytics platforms into a dashboard or PDF you send clients each month, replacing hours of manual copy-pasting. As of October 2026, AgencyAnalytics charges $20 per client a month with no feature tiers, DashThis prices by dashboard count from $44 to $429 a month, Whatagraph's Max plan runs €699 a month for unlimited users and reports, and Swydo runs a €69 a month base fee plus per-data-source charges above 10 connections. Looker Studio itself is free; its Pro tier adds team workspaces and is billed through Google Cloud, though I couldn't confirm its exact current per-user rate live, so check that directly before budgeting around it. The pricing model, per client, per dashboard, or flat, matters more than feature differences for most agencies.
You're spending real hours every month building client reports by hand, and want a tool that automates the pulling and formatting, not just makes the spreadsheet look nicer.

What a client reporting tool needs to do
Every tool on this list connects to your ad and analytics accounts and assembles the numbers into something a client can read. The real differences show up in three places: how the price scales with your client count, how much manual setup each report needs, and whether the tool adds any interpretation on top of raw numbers or just displays them.
The best agency client reporting tools, compared
AgencyAnalytics
AgencyAnalytics, a reporting platform built specifically for agencies that pulls from more than 90 marketing data sources into automated client dashboards, prices on a single Core plan at $20 per client a month (annual), with unlimited staff and client users included and no separate feature tiers. That includes white-labeled reporting, scheduled delivery and a branded client portal with an optional custom domain. Agencies with 25 or more clients can negotiate volume pricing directly.
- Best for: Agencies that want one simple, predictable per-client price with every feature included from the start.
DashThis
DashThis, a dashboard-building tool connecting more than 30 marketing platforms into client-ready reports, prices by dashboard count rather than client or user count: Individual at $44 a month for 3 dashboards, Professional at $139 for 10, Business at $279 for 25, and Standard at $429 for 50. Every tier includes unlimited users and white-labeling, so the cost scales with how many distinct report templates you need, not your headcount or client count directly.
- Best for: Agencies running many clients off a small number of shared, similar dashboard templates, where dashboard count stays well below client count.
Whatagraph
Whatagraph, a marketing reporting platform built around AI-assisted setup and monitoring, prices its Max plan at €699 a month (annual), covering unlimited users and reports with roughly 50 source credits included, and its Prime plan above that on custom pricing for higher-volume needs. This is a noticeably higher entry price than the other tools here, positioned more toward agencies that want automated monitoring and alerting handled by its "IQ Agents" rather than building reports manually.
- Best for: Larger agencies that want reporting setup and monitoring automated rather than built by hand, and can absorb the higher entry cost.
Swydo
Swydo, a reporting tool offering a single unified plan rather than feature tiers, charges a €69 a month (€62 on annual billing) base fee covering your first 10 connected data sources, then €4.50 each for sources 11 through 100, dropping to €3 and €2 each at higher volumes. Every plan includes the same feature set: unlimited clients, users, dashboards and AI-powered report summaries, so the only variable is how many total ad and analytics accounts you're connecting across all your clients.
- Best for: Agencies with many clients who each only need 1 or 2 connected data sources, since the per-source pricing can work out cheaper than a per-client model.
Looker Studio
Looker Studio, Google's free dashboard and reporting tool, connects natively to Google Ads and Google Analytics and to a wide range of other sources through connectors, and costs nothing to use at a basic level. Looker Studio Pro, billed through Google Cloud, adds team workspace management, content approval rules and support, but I wasn't able to confirm its current exact per-user rate live while researching this, since Google's pricing page kept redirecting during my check. Confirm the current rate directly in the Google Cloud console before budgeting around it.
- Best for: Agencies comfortable building their own report templates by hand in exchange for a genuinely free (or very low cost) tool, usually a better fit for agencies with some in-house reporting or data skill.
Whichever tool you pick, my guide to AI for marketing agencies covers where AI genuinely helps draft the written interpretation that should sit alongside the numbers, not replace the dashboard itself.
How do agency client reporting tools compare?
| Tool | Pricing model | Entry cost, roughly | White-label branding |
|---|---|---|---|
| AgencyAnalytics | Per client | $20/client/mo | Yes, included |
| DashThis | Per dashboard | $44/mo (3 dashboards) | Yes, included |
| Whatagraph | Flat tier | €699/mo (Max) | Yes, included |
| Swydo | Per data source above 10 | €69/mo base | Yes, included |
| Looker Studio | Free, Pro tier billed via Google Cloud | Free (Pro rate unconfirmed) | Limited |
Run a rough test before committing: divide your monthly budget by your actual client count for AgencyAnalytics, and by your actual distinct dashboard or data-source count, often lower than your client count, for DashThis or Swydo. The cheapest option flips depending entirely on how much your reports genuinely repeat across clients.
A worked example, at 8 and 20 clients
At 8 clients, each needing one dashboard: AgencyAnalytics runs $160 a month ($20 times 8). DashThis's Individual plan at $44 a month covers 3 dashboards, not enough for 8 distinct clients, so you'd need Professional at $139 a month for 10 dashboards, more capacity than needed at this size. AgencyAnalytics wins clearly here. At 20 clients, if several share near-identical dashboard templates by service line, say 10 distinct templates cover all 20 clients: AgencyAnalytics runs $400 a month ($20 times 20), while DashThis's Professional plan at $139 for 10 dashboards covers the same ground for a lot less. The crossover tends to sit somewhere between 10 and 15 clients, depending heavily on how much your dashboards genuinely repeat across clients versus needing individual customization per account.
What none of these cover
All five tools display numbers. None of them hold the brief the work was done against, the approval trail for the content behind those numbers, or an invoice tied to the retainer. A client reading a dashboard in isolation can also misread a normal month-to-month dip as a problem if nobody adds a line of written context explaining what moved and why, which the automation itself won't do for you. The same gap shows up building a KPI dashboard for your own team's numbers, not just a client-facing one. Some agencies pair a reporting tool like the ones above with a broader client portal that holds briefs and approvals alongside the numbers, specifically built for agencies, so a client isn't checking one tool for results and emailing you for everything else.
How I'd approach this
For most agencies, AgencyAnalytics' simplicity and predictable per-client pricing is the right starting point, and DashThis becomes the better deal specifically once your dashboard count is reliably lower than your client count. Swydo is worth a serious look if most of your clients only need 1 or 2 data sources connected. Where a custom dashboard becomes worth the conversation is when a client needs a metric none of these pull cleanly from your specific data sources, or when reporting needs to sit next to billing status or project progress in one view rather than as its own separate tool.
Questions people ask
What's the cheapest agency client reporting tool?
For 3 or fewer clients, DashThis's Individual plan at $44 a month or AgencyAnalytics at $20 a client ($60 for 3 clients) are both inexpensive. Past roughly 10 clients with similar dashboard needs, DashThis's flat per-dashboard pricing usually pulls ahead of AgencyAnalytics' per-client rate.
Does AgencyAnalytics charge per user or per client?
Per client, at $20 a month each, with unlimited staff and client user accounts included at no extra charge, which is a meaningfully different model from a per-seat reporting tool.
Is Looker Studio really free?
The base product is free to use. Looker Studio Pro, which adds team workspace and content management features, is billed through Google Cloud, though I couldn't confirm its current per-user rate live while researching this, so check the Google Cloud console directly before assuming a price.
Can these reporting tools white-label for my agency's branding?
Yes, across AgencyAnalytics, DashThis, Whatagraph and Swydo, white-labeled branding with custom domain options is included rather than gated to a higher tier.
Why is Whatagraph so much more expensive than the others?
Whatagraph's Max plan at €699 a month is positioned toward larger agencies wanting AI-assisted setup and automated monitoring across reports, rather than a simple dashboard builder, which is reflected in its entry price being well above AgencyAnalytics or DashThis.
Roughly what does a custom reporting dashboard cost?
As a broad reference, fixes and finishes start at around $1,500, and new builds start higher, always a fixed price agreed in writing before I start, never an hourly rate. My AI app cost guide explains what actually drives a quote up or down.
Is my agency too small for this?
No. Most of the owners I work with have no tech team at all, that is the whole point. If the smarter move is a cheap software subscription instead of custom software, I will tell you that on the first call, even though it means I do not get paid.
