Databox
One dashboard for numbers kept in nine places
Databox pulls figures out of the tools a creator business already runs and puts them on one screen, which is a different job from measuring a website. Analytics, a payment processor, an email platform and a social scheduler can all land on the same board. Data sources are the billing unit and they are what runs the bill up. The free tier is small enough to be a demonstration rather than a workflow.
Our note
List the tools you want connected before looking at the price, because five sources sounds generous until analytics, Stripe, a mailing platform and two social accounts have used them all. The free tier is a fair way to find out whether you will actually open the dashboard, which is the real question with any reporting product.
Simple Analytics
Website numbers on a single page
Simple Analytics is one dashboard with no setup behind it, aimed at somebody who wants to know what people read and has no intention of building funnels. No cookies, no consent banner and hosting inside the EU are the three things it leads with. Pageview volume sets the price and extra users cost the same again each. Hobby sites are free if the badge stays on the page.
