Best reporting tools for agencies in 2026: 7 platforms compared
Agency reporting tools turn client data from ad platforms, analytics and SEO tools into reports your clients can read. This guide compares 7 options by pricing model, connectors and white-label, and separates client marketing reports from reports on the agency itself.
Disclosure: AgencyPro is our product. It does not connect to marketing data sources, so it is listed for operations reporting only.
How we compared these platforms
This is a criteria-based comparison, not a hands-on test or a scored ranking. We read each vendor's pricing and product pages on October 13, 2026 and recorded:
- Pricing model: per client, per source, per user, per dashboard or free.
- Connectors: listed integrations and whether non-native sources need paid connectors.
- White-label: custom domain, branding and which plan or add-on includes them.
- Delivery: scheduling, client portal or embedding.
- Report type: client marketing performance or agency operations.
Prices change. Confirm them on each vendor's pricing page before you buy.

The 7 platforms in detail
1. Google Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio)
Visit website →Free reporting for Google-heavy agencies.
Google renamed Looker Studio back to Data Studio in 2026. It is free for creators and viewers, connects natively to Google sources, and offers more than 1,300 Community Connectors from partners, many of which charge their own fees. Data Studio Pro is $9 per user per project per month and adds team content management, admin features and Google Cloud support.
Reports can be embedded on web pages, but there is no custom domain for hosted reports.
Pros
- • Free for creators and viewers
- • Native Google connectors
- • Embeddable reports
Cons
- • Most non-Google sources need partner connectors
- • No custom domain
Verdict: Hard to beat for Google-centric reporting. Price the connectors you need for other channels.
2. AgencyAnalytics
Visit website →Client-facing marketing reporting built for agencies.
AgencyAnalytics prices per client: $20 per client per month billed annually, with unlimited staff and client users and volume pricing from 25 clients. Every client includes unlimited reports and dashboards, a white-labeled client portal, custom domain, branding, custom email, scheduling, report approvals, API access and AI insights.
It lists 85+ integrations, including Google Search Console, GA, Semrush, Ahrefs, and social and ad platforms. Rank tracking is an add-on. It is reporting only, so you run it alongside your delivery and billing tools.
Pros
- • White-label portal and custom domain with every client
- • Unlimited staff and client users
- • 85+ integrations
- • 14-day trial, no card
Cons
- • Cost grows with client count
- • Rank tracking is a paid add-on
- • No delivery or billing features
Verdict: A natural default for client marketing reports.
3. Whatagraph
Visit website →Blended multi-source reports for larger agencies.
Whatagraph prices with credits, where each connected source costs one credit. The Max plan starts from €999 per month billed annually with 50 credits; Prime is custom. Both include unlimited users and reports, white-label reports and data blends.
A custom report domain is an add-on on Max and included on Prime. Sales is demo-led.
Pros
- • Unlimited users and reports
- • White-label reports on both plans
- • Data blends across sources
Cons
- • High entry price
- • Custom domain is an add-on on Max
Verdict: Fits larger agencies with many sources to blend.
4. Databox
Visit website →KPI dashboards, goals and scorecards.
Databox has a free plan (1 user, 3 data sources, 1 dashboard) and lists 130+ integrations. Agency plans start at $79/mo, include unlimited users and grow with client account packs and data sources.
White-label is an add-on on lower Agency tiers and included on the top tier, so price the plan you need for client-facing branding.
Pros
- • Free plan
- • Goals and scorecards
- • Unlimited users on Agency plans
Cons
- • White-label is an add-on on lower Agency tiers
- • Pricing structure takes some modelling
Verdict: Good for KPI tracking and goal dashboards, especially for internal or B2B reporting.
5. AgencyPro
Reporting on the agency itself, not client marketing data.
AgencyPro reports on your delivery: requests over time, per status and per service, average time to complete and to first reply, and response time by team member. With time tracking (Pro) you get timesheet reports with PDF export. Team performance and profitability reports are on Plus.
It does not connect to ad, analytics or SEO platforms. For client marketing reports, use a dedicated tool; portal extensions can embed external content per client, so test how your reporting tool's shared report displays inside the portal.
Pros
- • Request and turnaround analytics
- • Timesheet reports with PDF export (Pro)
- • Profitability and team performance (Plus)
Cons
- • No marketing data connectors
- • Profitability reports need Plus
- • Seats cost extra
Verdict: Use it for agency operations reporting, paired with a client reporting tool.
6. Klipfolio
Visit website →Custom KPI dashboards with calculated metrics.
Klipfolio Klips starts at $140/mo ($120 billed annually) for 3 dashboards, with unlimited users on every tier. Grow, Team and Team+ add dashboards and faster refresh. It lists 130+ integrations.
A custom domain ($90/mo), custom theme ($69/mo) and a White-Label Bundle ($299/mo) are add-ons, priced annually.
Pros
- • Unlimited users on every tier
- • Flexible calculated metrics
- • 14-day trial, no card
Cons
- • White-label costs extra
- • Dashboard building takes time
Verdict: For agencies with someone who will build custom metrics.
7. Tableau
Visit website →Enterprise BI.
Tableau licenses per user by role. Creator is $75 per user per month billed annually on Standard and $115 on Enterprise. Tableau Public is free for public data.
It suits agencies with an analytics team and custom data models, not a team that wants ready-made marketing reports.
Pros
- • Deep modelling and visualization
- • Free Tableau Public for public data
Cons
- • Annual per-user licensing
- • No agency report templates
Verdict: Consider it only with dedicated analysts.
Which reporting tool fits your agency
Google-heavy reporting on a budget: Data Studio. Add partner connectors only for the sources you need.
Multi-channel client reports with your branding: AgencyAnalytics, priced per client.
Many sources to blend for larger clients: Whatagraph.
Goal tracking and KPI scorecards: Databox.
An analyst who builds custom metrics: Klipfolio, or Tableau at enterprise scale.
Reports on your own delivery, time and revenue: AgencyPro, alongside a client reporting tool.
How to choose: 5 questions
1. Are your data sources mostly Google or mixed?
Google-heavy: Data Studio. Mixed: AgencyAnalytics, Whatagraph, Databox.
2. How does cost grow?
Per client (AgencyAnalytics), per source (Whatagraph), per dashboard (Klipfolio) or per user (Tableau). Model it at your client count.
3. How do clients receive reports?
Scheduled emails, a client portal, or an embed in a portal you already use.
4. Do you need a custom domain?
Included with AgencyAnalytics; an add-on on Whatagraph Max and Klipfolio; not available on Data Studio.
5. Are you reporting on marketing results or on the agency?
Marketing results: a reporting tool. Agency operations (turnaround, hours, revenue, margins): your agency platform.
When AgencyPro is not the right fit
- • You report marketing results to clients. AgencyPro has no ad, analytics or SEO connectors. Use AgencyAnalytics, Data Studio, Whatagraph or Databox for client marketing reports.
- • You want profitability reporting on a small plan. AgencyPro team performance and profitability reports are on Plus ($149/mo plus $30 per extra seat). Timesheet reports need Pro.
- • You need free dashboards on Google data. Google Data Studio is free for creators and viewers.
- • You have an analytics team building BI across many sources. Tableau or Klipfolio fit custom, calculated reporting better than an operations platform.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between agency reporting tools and BI platforms?
Agency reporting tools such as AgencyAnalytics, Whatagraph and Databox come with connectors for marketing sources (ad platforms, analytics, SEO tools) and report templates, so you can produce a client report quickly. BI platforms such as Tableau are general-purpose: you model the data and build dashboards yourself. Most agencies are better served by a reporting tool; BI fits agencies with an analyst and custom data.
Is Google Data Studio (Looker Studio) good enough for agencies?
For Google-heavy reporting, often yes. Google renamed Looker Studio back to Data Studio in 2026; it is still free for creators and viewers, with Google connectors and more than 1,300 Community Connectors from partners, many of them paid. Reports can be embedded on web pages. Data Studio Pro costs $9 per user per project per month and adds team content management and support.
How much do agency reporting tools cost?
As of October 2026: Data Studio is free (Pro $9 per user per project). AgencyAnalytics is $20 per client per month billed annually. Databox has a free plan and Agency plans from $79/mo. Klipfolio Klips starts at $140/mo ($120 billed annually). Whatagraph starts from €999/mo billed annually. Tableau Creator is $75 per user per month billed annually. Paid data connectors can add to the cost of free tools.
Should I use my agency platform's reporting or a dedicated tool?
Use your agency platform for reports about the agency: request volume, turnaround, hours, revenue and profitability. Use a dedicated reporting tool for client marketing performance such as ad spend, conversions and rankings. AgencyPro covers the first kind (timesheets on Pro, team performance and profitability on Plus) but does not connect to ad or analytics platforms.
How do white-label reporting features compare?
AgencyAnalytics includes a white-labeled client portal, custom domain, branding and custom email with every client. Whatagraph includes white-label reports on both plans, with a custom report domain as an add-on on Max. Databox white-label is an add-on on lower Agency tiers. Klipfolio sells a custom domain and a White-Label Bundle as add-ons. Data Studio does not offer a custom domain.
Which integrations matter most for client reporting?
List the sources your clients actually use, usually Google Ads, Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Meta and LinkedIn ads, plus SEO, email and ecommerce platforms. Then check each tool for a native connector rather than a paid third-party one. AgencyAnalytics lists 85+ integrations, Databox and Klipfolio list 130+, and Data Studio relies on Community Connectors for most non-Google sources.
How long does it take to set up agency reporting?
Expect most of the time to go into deciding what each client needs to see, not the connections. Build one template per service line (SEO, paid media, social), test it with one client, then roll it out. Tools with agency templates and native connectors are faster to set up than BI platforms, where you build from raw data.
Should reports be emailed or accessed in a portal?
Often both: a scheduled summary for senior stakeholders and an always-on dashboard for the people who work with you day to day. AgencyAnalytics includes report scheduling and a client portal. In AgencyPro, portal extensions can embed external content per client, so test whether your reporting tool's shared report displays the way you want before relying on it.
For client marketing reports, use a reporting tool. For your agency, try AgencyPro.
AgencyPro reports on requests, turnaround, hours and revenue across every client. Keep AgencyAnalytics or Data Studio for marketing performance.
