Agency Reporting Tools 2026: 7 Options Compared

Andre Sottil
Founder & CEO, Admira

The best agency reporting tool depends on what you need to show clients: for white-label dashboards across many small clients, AgencyAnalytics (from $20 per client per month, billed annually) and DashThis (from $44 per month for 3 dashboards, billed annually) are the simplest; for flexible, low-cost reports, Looker Studio is free but needs paid connectors; for larger agencies with many data sources, Whatagraph and Databox fit; and if clients judge you on sales, not clicks, you need an attribution layer such as Admira that ties ads to CRM revenue. All prices below were checked on vendor sites in November 2026.

This comparison covers seven options, what each costs, how they differ, and how to choose based on your client mix.

What should an agency reporting tool do?

Before comparing tools, agree on the job. Most agencies need some mix of these five:

  1. Pull data automatically from Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, GA4, LinkedIn and others, so nobody copies numbers by hand.
  2. Send scheduled reports (weekly or monthly) with your branding.
  3. Give clients a live dashboard they can open any time.
  4. Explain the numbers with comments or AI summaries, so the report says what changed and why.
  5. Connect spend to business results, such as leads that became customers, which most dashboard tools cannot do on their own.

Points 1 to 4 are what classic reporting tools sell. Point 5 is where many agencies lose clients, because a dashboard full of CTR and CPL doesn't answer "did this make us money?". Our guide on how agencies prove ROI to clients covers that conversation.

Prices change often and several vendors show different numbers in different places. Databox's FAQ, for instance, listed a higher Agency price than its pricing cards when we checked. Confirm on the vendor's pricing page before you budget.

How do the main tools differ?

AgencyAnalytics

Built specifically for agencies. You get a branded client portal, scheduled reports and many native integrations. Its pricing page lists the Core plan at $20 per client per month on annual billing, so 10 clients cost about $200 a month. It is strong on presentation, weaker on anything that needs CRM revenue. See our comparison of AgencyAnalytics alternatives for more detail.

DashThis

The easiest learning curve on this list. DashThis pricing is by number of dashboards: Individual covers 3 dashboards, Professional 10 at $139/month yearly, Business 25 at $279/month yearly. Good for agencies that want clean monthly reports without building anything.

Whatagraph

Aimed at agencies with many clients and sources. Pricing is credit-based: each connected data account, such as one Facebook Ads account, uses one credit, and the Max plan starts at €699/month on annual billing with 50 credits. It makes sense once you are reporting on dozens of accounts.

Databox

More of a KPI and goals tool than a pure client report. It has a free plan with 3 data sources, and its pricing page shows an Agency plan with unlimited users and account packs. Useful if you also manage targets and alerts for clients.

Reportei

Popular in Brazil and across Latin America, with Portuguese and Spanish interfaces and a focus on social media and ads reports. Its English plans page currently shows only custom Enterprise pricing, while software directories list self-serve plans from about $24/month. Confirm in your account before choosing.

Looker Studio

Free and flexible, and the default for many agencies. The catch: non-Google sources like Meta or TikTok need a paid connector, and building and maintaining templates takes time. Our post on Looker Studio limits for marketing reporting covers when it stops scaling, and our list of Supermetrics alternatives compares the connectors.

Admira

Admira is an attribution platform, not a white-label report builder first. It connects Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and Click-to-WhatsApp leads to CRM revenue in HubSpot, Salesforce, Kommo or Clientify, and includes a report builder, unlimited dashboards and shared reports. Plans are Starter $199/month, Growth $399/month and Custom $1,500/month. It fits the clients where you need to prove sales, and less so a long tail of small accounts that only need a monthly PDF. Agencies can also join the partner program, which pays 50% of MRR for each referred client. More on attribution for agencies.

Example: what reporting costs for a 15-client agency

Example (hypothetical setup, list prices checked Nov 2026): an agency in Bogotá has 15 clients, each with Meta, Google Ads and GA4 (45 connected accounts).

OptionHow the math worksApproximate monthly cost
AgencyAnalytics Core15 clients x $20 (annual billing)$300
DashThis BusinessUp to 25 dashboards (annual billing)$279
Whatagraph Max45 accounts fit inside 50 creditsFrom €699
Looker Studio + connectorFree reports; connector cost depends on accounts per source, and entry plans may need add-ons for 15 clientsVaries; check connector pricing

The cheapest line isn't always the cheapest choice. Count the hours your team spends building, fixing and explaining reports. If one account manager saves 10 hours a month, that time is usually worth more than the price gap between tools.

How do you choose the right reporting tool for your agency?

  1. List your clients by what they buy from you. Awareness, ecommerce sales or qualified leads.
  2. Count connected accounts, not just clients. Credit and per-source pricing scales with accounts.
  3. Check the integrations your clients actually use, including regional ones like Kommo, Clientify or WhatsApp Business.
  4. Decide who builds reports. Templates in DashThis or AgencyAnalytics need little skill; Looker Studio needs someone who enjoys building.
  5. Test with two real clients during the trial, including one difficult account.
  6. Separate dashboards from proof. Use a reporting tool for the weekly view and an attribution layer for the clients who ask about revenue. Our guide to automating reporting without losing trust explains how to keep both honest.

Who each type of tool is for, and who it isn't for

  • Pure reporting tools (AgencyAnalytics, DashThis, Whatagraph, Databox, Reportei) are for agencies that need fast, branded reporting across many clients. They are not built to tie a lead in a CRM to a closed sale.
  • Looker Studio is for agencies with in-house data skills and tight budgets. It is not for teams that can't maintain templates.
  • Attribution platforms like Admira are for agencies serving lead-gen, B2B, real estate or WhatsApp-heavy clients who judge results on sales. They are not the cheapest way to send a monthly report to a small local client, and for a pure Shopify store an ecommerce tool may fit better.

FAQ

What is the cheapest agency reporting tool?

Looker Studio is free, but you'll usually pay for connectors to non-Google data. Among paid tools, DashThis and AgencyAnalytics have the lowest entry prices we found.

Can I white-label client reports?

Yes, in most dedicated agency tools. Check whether white-labeling is included or an add-on; Databox, for example, lists it as a paid add-on.

Do these tools show ROI?

They show ROAS as reported by each ad platform. To show real ROI you need CRM revenue matched to ad clicks, which requires attribution.

Is Reportei available in Spanish?

Reportei is widely used in Latin America and offers Spanish. Confirm current plans and pricing directly, since its English site shows only custom pricing.

How often should agencies send reports?

Most send a live dashboard plus a monthly summary. Weekly check-ins work well for clients with large budgets or fast sales cycles.

Do I need a reporting tool and an attribution tool?

Only if some clients judge you on sales from a CRM. For awareness or simple ecommerce clients, a reporting tool is usually enough.
