Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
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.
Wistia
Video hosting for video your own site depends on
Wistia puts video on your pages with a player you control and analytics counted per viewer rather than per view, which is the difference between hosting and uploading to YouTube. Heatmaps show the second people stop watching. It is priced for a company rather than for one person, and the step from free to $79 is where most creators make their decision.
