Databox’s Analyst plan costs $64 a month and includes 5 data sources. Pro costs $159 and includes 3. Growth costs $399 and includes 3 — the same as the free plan. Data sources are the thing a dashboard tool connects to, and on the business tiers they do not scale with price at all. What the money buys is unlimited users and AI credits; extra sources are sold separately at $5.60 a month each — or $2.40 if you buy the identically priced agency plan instead.
- What it is: A dashboard and business analytics platform pulling metrics from many sources into one view.
- Best for: Teams needing unlimited users; agencies should use the agency tab regardless.
- Pricing: Free $0; Analyst $64, Pro $159, Growth $399 per month billed annually. Verified July 2026.
- The honest catch: Additional data sources cost 133% more on business plans than agency plans.
What Is Databox?
Databox builds custom analytics dashboards from data across many tools — marketing, sales, finance and support — viewable on any device, with AI features (Genie, an MCP server, forecasting) layered on top. It claims more than 20,000 companies and holds a 4.5-star average across 184 Findstack reviews.
The page splits into Plans for Businesses and Plans for Agencies, with a 14-day free trial of Growth to start.
How Databox Works
- Two meters — data sources and AI credits.
- Sources do not scale with the business tiers.
- Extra sources are sold per month, at two different rates.
- Unlimited users from Pro upward.
- Annual billing saves about 20%.
- Agency plans cost the same but include more.
Databox Pricing

| Business plan | Monthly | Annual | Saving | Sources | Extra source | Users | AI credits/mo |

What actually decides your cost:
- Included data sources go 3, 5, 3, 3 as the price goes 0, 64, 159, 399. The cheapest paid plan includes the most sources of any published business tier, and the $399 plan includes no more than the free one. Sources are the primary thing a dashboard product connects to, so anyone scanning the cards would reasonably expect them to rise. What Pro and Growth actually buy is unlimited users and larger AI credit pools; connecting more data is a separate line item.
- The same extra source costs $5.60 on business plans and $2.40 on agency plans — 133% more. Both tabs sell identical add-on capacity at different rates. Reaching 10 sources costs $198.20 a month on Pro ($159 plus seven at $5.60) against $175.80 on Agency Pro ($159 plus seven at $2.40) — a $22.40 monthly difference on the same $159 base.
- Agency Pro and Pro cost exactly the same and Agency Pro includes more. Both are $159 a month with 1,500 AI credits, 3 sources and unlimited users. Agency Pro adds unlimited client accounts and the cheaper source rate. If your work qualifies, there is no configuration where the business tab is the better buy at that price.
- Analyst is single-user, which is the constraint that defines it. Five sources and 500 AI credits for $64 is reasonable, but one seat. The jump to unlimited users is Pro at $159 — a 148% increase — and it comes with two fewer included sources, so budget the add-ons alongside it.
- AI credits scale properly, if modestly. 50, 500, 1,500 and 4,000 a month across the tiers works out at $128 per thousand credits on Analyst, $106 on Pro and $99.75 on Growth — a real but shallow volume discount of about 22% across the range.
- The 20% annual saving is essentially accurate. Pro saves 20.1% and Growth 20.0%; Analyst comes in slightly under at 19.0% ($79 to $64). Add-ons are quoted “billed annually” separately, including branding and white-labeling, 15-minute sync, a fiscal calendar and advanced security management.
Who Should Use Databox
- Agencies. The clearest case — unlimited client accounts and half-price sources at identical headline prices.
- Teams needing unlimited seats. Pro at $159 is where user limits disappear.
- Solo analysts. Analyst at $64 has the most included sources of any paid business tier.
- Heavy AI users. Growth’s 4,000 monthly credits are the cheapest per credit.
It fits poorly for businesses connecting many sources, where the per-source charge compounds; for buyers who assume higher tiers include more data; and for single users needing more than five sources, since Analyst publishes no add-on rate.
Honest Pros and Cons
Strengths
- A permanent free plan with 3 sources and 50 AI credits.
- Unlimited users from Pro upward.
- Agency plans at identical prices with more included.
- A 14-day free trial of the Growth plan.
- An MCP server and API on every tier including Free.
- Around 20% off for annual billing.
Limitations
- Growth includes the same 3 sources as the free plan.
- Analyst has more sources than plans costing 6× as much.
- Extra sources cost 133% more on business than agency plans.
- Analyst is single-user and publishes no source add-on rate.
- Datasets are limited on Pro despite being full on Analyst.
- White-labeling, fiscal calendar and 15-min sync are paid add-ons.
Databox Alternatives and How It Compares
- Klipfolio is the closest competitor on custom dashboard building.
- Geckoboard focuses on simple, TV-friendly team dashboards.
- Looker Studio is free and strong if your data is already in Google’s ecosystem.
- Power BI and Tableau are the enterprise BI platforms, deeper and considerably more complex.
The Verdict
Databox does something genuinely useful — pulls metrics from across a business into dashboards anyone can read, with a free tier that includes the API and MCP server rather than holding them back. Unlimited users from Pro upward is the right call for a reporting tool, since the people reading dashboards usually outnumber the people building them, and per-seat pricing punishes exactly the behaviour the product wants to encourage.
The structure worth understanding before choosing is that the price ladder and the data source ladder are unrelated. Free includes 3 sources, Analyst at $64 includes 5, Pro at $159 includes 3, and Growth at $399 includes 3. The cheapest paid plan carries the most included sources of any published business tier, and the most expensive carries no more than free. That is not a mistake so much as a deliberate separation — Pro and Growth sell unlimited users and AI credits, with connections priced separately at $5.60 a month each — but it inverts the natural reading of a pricing page, and it means the sticker price is not the cost. Ten sources on Pro is $198.20 a month, not $159.
The sharper point is the difference between the two tabs. Agency Pro costs exactly the same $159 as Pro, carries the same 1,500 AI credits, the same 3 sources and the same unlimited users — and adds unlimited client accounts plus extra sources at $2.40 rather than $5.60, a 57% lower rate for identical capacity. At ten sources that is $175.80 against $198.20 for the same underlying product. Anyone whose work plausibly counts as agency work should check the agency tab before buying from the business one, because at these prices the business tab is never the better deal.
FAQ
How much does Databox cost?
In US dollars captured July 2026: Free is $0, Analyst $64 per month billed annually ($79 monthly), Pro $159 ($199) and Growth $399 ($499), with Custom quoted. Agency plans run $79, $159 and $399 annually. All plans start with a 14-day free trial of Growth.
How many data sources does Databox include?
Three on Free, five on Analyst, three on Pro and three on Growth — so included sources do not increase with price on the business tiers. Pro and Growth sell additional sources at $5.60 per month each; Analyst publishes no add-on rate. Agency plans include three sources and charge $2.40 per additional source.
Should I use Databox’s business or agency plans?
If your work qualifies as agency work, the agency tab, without question. Agency Pro and Pro both cost $159 a month with the same 1,500 AI credits, three data sources and unlimited users — but Agency Pro adds unlimited client accounts and charges $2.40 per extra data source instead of $5.60, a 57% lower rate for identical capacity.
What do Databox’s AI credits cover?
Genie and the MCP server, plus generating insights, building dashboards and asking questions about your data — all drawing from a shared monthly pool. Allowances are 50 on Free, 500 on Analyst, 1,500 on Pro and 4,000 on Growth, which works out at $128, $106 and $99.75 per thousand credits on the three paid tiers. A credit top-up add-on is listed as coming soon.
Does Databox charge per user?
Only on the entry tiers. Free and Analyst are limited to one user; Pro, Growth, Custom and all three agency plans include unlimited users. That makes Pro at $159 the point where seat limits disappear — a 148% increase over Analyst, though it includes two fewer data sources.

Databox lets me mix together multiple data sources to keep track of activities happening across our clients' marketing and sales funnels. When we start a project and establish KPIs, I also set up internal and client-facing dashboards to track these measures and ensure that we are looking at the same information.
There are a lot of "hidden" features and capabilities that can be hard to learn.
We are able to get better and faster insights for our clients and ensure that we are all looking at the same information at the same time. This helps speed decisions and eliminates guesswork.
The easy that is to set up your dashboards
hmmm, well more documentation for custom dashboard that are not in the template page
providing data visualization to my clients, with databox I don't have to think about building my own interface
The ability to easily show data, to segment data properly, and to organize everything well. LOVE this!!
The zapier integration was a bit complicated to set up and not intuitive, i.e. entering the "|" character to separate title fields as well as needing to push a value w/no title field + a separate value with all title fields, taking up two zap steps, is unnecessary and should be simplified. But once this is solved, the software is AMAZING. All-time.
Visualizing all the data we're getting from multiple sources. Amazing, incredible product.
- Ease of Use - Design - Interaction - Flexibility - Integration - Incredible support
Nothing really. Although some features may be missing, the team is always working on adding them & growing the product.
Data visualisation. We have been able to extract data from platforms that were of no use before, and display them in a meaningful way.
I've used a few business intelligence tools that cost tens of thousands of dollars, but Databox is able to satisfy the needs my small business requires at the fraction of that cost - even free. We currently need to watch our performance on a few platforms and with Databox, we are able to do just this. We intend to add more platforms in the future. Databox already supports these platforms so we know this wouldn't be a problem when it's time to scale
I still can't find anything about Databox that I dislike. I recently introduced it to my team at RegDesk, and it's super convenient to build and use
As a small business, we use several tools, but we also want to be able to view reports in one place. Databox makes this all possible at an awesome price. The ability to carry our analytics on the go. Presenting marketing reports have become a breeze. And the fact that we can scale as we grow or require more is simply awesome.
You can easily integrate a lot of services to have a "bird view" of your online business. For instance, like to connect PayPal, Google Analytics and Facebook Ads to have a quick view of my incoming transactions and expenses. Comparing them to my Analytics Goals helps me to quickly understand my ROI.
It would be nice to have a free version with 4-5 connectors: this will help new customers to get confident with DataBox within a longer period of time.
As I said before, you can quickly have a "bird view" of your ROI on Ads and SEO.
I like the customisability and the simplicity in adding connectors and showing their data. It's really impressive that it took me about 30min's from i signup to everything was up and running. The system really proves that its a must have tool for all startups without a system in place and with ambition to reach a new high. And if you already have such a tool, but this is a cheaper option or solves the purpose betterit takes tops a few hours to setup, so its not even a big investment to get it up and running.
I think its a bit to complicated to make my own data connectors
We are solving a key problem, that being able to follow up on how we are performing in all possible ways, and have that great look into how the business is running, in all apspects. And they way to stream all our data into one board
I love all the different metrics this can track and the integrations. The dashboard is fully customizable and the ability to share & view on mobile phones is great! The integration with Zapier takes a little to understand it, but their support team setup an online meeting with me and walked me through the steps.
It would be great if we could embed the dashboard on our own sites. Not a deal breaker, but just a nice feature. Also, the connection with Zapier is a little cumbersome, but again the support was there to help me out.
Right now I needed a live leaderboard with some different metrics, and this provides it for me.
The out-of-the-box templates! I was able to get dashboards up and running the same day!
Nothing yet. Maybe, it would be nice to export dashboard to PDF for offline access in powerpoint. Not sure if this exists already.
Real time analytics to our marketing and sales team
The flexibility of dashboards and the ease of linking programs to dashboards
Not much really, I would love to see more apps such as coinbase or being able to watch market stocks added to this
Growing instagram followers and watching traffic to my website to refine the process
Databox allows us to have all the important information we need from a range of multiple tools and is so easy to setup. Ive been looking for a platform like this for a long time and have finally found it!
Nothing yet! so far we love everything about it!
We have a visual on all our key metrics instead of having to retrieve them from multiple sources.
Templates that inside them widgets that can be customized.
Wish they had Freshdesk, I'm sure it's coming.
Ability to see revenue from multiple products we sell quickly and easily.
I haven't signed up for the paid version -- yet. Only used the free product, and have found it very impressive for what it offers. I can gather a pretty good set of KPIs from readily available sources. My team can each set up their own databoards, concentrating on what they need to know. It's nice on the eye as well.
The only issue I have, which I don't know whether it's addressed in the paid version, is being largely limited to data from "last 7 days" and "last 30 days" -- with the occasional 14D and MTD windows. No quarterly, six month, this year, last year data. What I'm referring to are the dropdowns in the individual KPIs. It does seem, however, that the "Goals" feature supports some version of historical data, but I haven't used it, so can't comment on that.
Having a lot of what I need to know in one place so I can daily track specific KPIs in an easy-to-use, all-in-one package app. I look forward to hooking up our custom data sources so I'll have *everything* I need.
ability to create your own dashboards - BI
Not much yet. Still implementing the BI functionality but the out of the box reports are great.
Business intelligence, sales reports, google analytics and Mail chimp analytics.
I love the minimal design, the ability to connect multiple sources and have them on the same dashboard. Their existing widgets are really the ones you need, but I can create custom ones if I want, which is great. Overall, a very responsive experience!
Sometimes the app can be a bit buggy (like when I'm trying to update a time period, I have to play with it a little for certain widgets). There's a set grid you can put your widgets in, but it would be a bit easier if there were more squares, as sometimes widgets get too small.
I use it to keep track of my Marketing metrics, and to show the team well performing web pages, CTA clicks, and LinkedIn followers.
Databox is quite efficient and effective platform. Very easy to use and track all of the daily, weekly or monthly KPI's in one place. Analytics, Adwords, social, sales, content at one place gives me flexibility and enough hours to stay focused in getting those numbers correct and as per targets. Almost all connections available for a eCommerce guru like me. The databox team have nailed it by making my Life easier. I am in Love with this tool and started loving my JOB.
There is nothing to hate. There is just LOVE for databox. So what I am writing here is just a request that I need. Free to Paid costing is alot for me. They should provide atleast 1/4 of the pricing what they have listed. The reports color, graphs and customization should have been very easy for business users so they can run this intelligent tool without informing their managers that how and what do they track.
I monitor all the KPI's of the organization and steers my team into the right directions to get the right numbers. Databox have solved my data tracking issue at one place.
As a bootstrapped startup, I love being able to have a one-stop shop for all my metrics. We use them to let us know if we're spending our time and efforts in the right places!
I have a vertical screen (portrait orientation) that I like to display metrics on. Wish I could design for that!
Our startup, Omatum, is trying to tackle big problems in software. To validate our larger software PM product, we're validating with several consumerized micro-apps. Databox allows us to see metrics across these many different apps in one spot. Solves for messy reporting.
I really like the interface and the app is super simple to setup. They are constantly adding new integrations. However, If you are looking for a Google Analytics app that includes Social Media metrics, this is the best choice.
Nothing much. It works how I expected and if I need their customer support, they reply in very short time.
I run a lot of growth experiments. I used to log in to all services, with Databox I have all important metrics in one place. That saves me a lot of time. Consequently, I can focus how to improve results.
I love being able to get to and transfer files from anywhere
Need more people to know about it .and being able to customize a few features yourself would be nice
The main thing , I do things fast and save time! This is my life , I am getting older now and don’t like waisting time.
As a small company, DataBox allows us to quickly review our KPI's for GA, Google Ads, Bing Ads, Hubspot, etc. With minimal effort, we can check the health of our business.
The only dislike is that you need SaleForce Enterprise to view SalesForce metrics and we have SF Professional.
The biggest benefits are that we can quickly see Hubspot and Google/Bing PPC metrics which allows us to better understand what our agency is doing for us and the impact it has on our business.
The ability to create & store template KPI report data walls that can be shared with client accounts to save time in generating reports. The insight wall and alert function also save us a lot of time not having to review the boards and set the rules on which KPI's to be alerted on at certain levels bot positive or negative swings around a goal
Initially, there were bugs with some data cards when you created, so you had to sometimes rebuild reports to get the correct information. However, this has become less frequent, so seems to have been resolved.
Databox has solved essentially two problems for us 1) Helped Reduced our non-billable hours used to collect, collate and prepare monthly reports with screenshots to form multiple software tools. We now have more billable hours available. 2) Improved our internal team communication as with databox dashboards the whole team has access to insights to client campaigns without having to be a specific software tool expert or waiting for our internal meetings to be updated - our reaction to campaign insights is quicker an ultimately helps us add more value to
Our numbers are now dynamic showing percentage changes that help us better understand what's changing
More integrations with development applications so our commercial team can better understand the progress of the tech side of the application
The whole company can see the numbers and changes in marketing, sales, support and more. Helps everyone understand how the business is growing in a super clear way that drives everyone forward.
Databox has a large number of integrations with most of the apps used in sales, marketing and customer service. It's extremely easy to set them up and start pulling data for your dashboards and other reports. The power of doing this is that you get instantaneous views of all of your KPIs and you can customize them to include the most relevant from multiple data sources. This makes analyzing data much easier and a better for coming up with insights. I also really like the notifications and alerts based on goals and thresholds. This keeps you and your team accountable and aware as your efforts yield results or encounter challenges. That enables faster and more flexible response that can turn things around quickly and save both time and money.
There isn't much to dislike. From an agency point of view, Databox is working on custom reporting that would allow you to engage more directly in dashboards with text and graphics. When that capability matures, the tool will be a Godsend for agencies developing monthly or ad hoc reports for their clients.
Monitoring and analyzing sales and marketing data that enables flexible strategic adjustments on a much more timely basis than looking at snapshots once a month. This translates into more efficient use of manpower and budget and also enables faster growth.
All-In-One Reporting tool for SaaS. Super easy to get started and integrate. Data is normalized between data sets. The company leadership is focussed on user input. Strong commitment by full team to be helpful and go the final mile with you. The company is not focussed on selling the product. Their focus is having a product and having the user base get outcomes. It's not about quants. It's about improving action from reporting. So that cultural note is pretty important because this type of product is normally about features and not the true purpose.
The only thing I would like is more flexibility in the colors of the reports. I wish I could style them with CSS. Not a real big deal at this point and I haven't even let them know it. I'm pretty sure if I made the case they'd adjust if it made sense.
Can't stand all the logging in and out of various SaaS products to "cut and paste" reporting. So this saves time. It keeps us plugged into the success of any team we work with. Real Time, templated data sets, and mashups from various SaaS products and point and click integrations make it all happen.
I love the fact that we can quickly see both our agency analytics and our clients' analytics via Databox's mobile dashboards. The ease-of-use makes it realistic to be checking the data on a daily basis. The Datawalls also make it easy to provide our clients with real-time reports.
Overall, we're very pleased with the product and support!
Databox allows us to more efficiently review and report on our clients' analytics which makes our sales and marketing programs more effective because we can focus on continuous improvement.
Visual representation of data makes it much easier to have conversations with clients about their results.
The Databox team is always making updates to include new features or meet requests of users. If I ever have something I don't like, I just submit it to them and it is often changed or fixed!
This helps a lot with catching misconfigurations and aiding in conversations about results with clients.
As a sales manager, I need to be able to keep track of my team's daily, weekly, monthly, and annual sales performance and activity. I'm using HSCRM and Databox makes it easy to visualize the most important metrics from my phone or browser.
The product is always improving but sometimes there are slight delays in the refresh.
My reporting has always been manual and taken a lot of time. Databox has helped me automate my monthly sales reporting so I can spend more time analyzing the data instead of pulling together numbers into spreadsheets.
Easy implementation, all KPIs on one screen and super mobile app. It really helps us to improve our work and stay focused.
We need more than 3 connectors, so we can not use free plan any more.
1. Data visualization 2. Focus on our goals 3. Save time (money) on reports 4. Better customer support (we seen all our tickets, time spend, all statistics on closing tickets) 5. Access to all needed data and reports by phone, with only one app 6. Increasing motivation - our marketing and sales dept have know how successful are they, all the time 7. Saving money - it is easy to add new sources
Three things: 1. Databox is really easy to use and get started, meaning that you don't need to be Stephen Hawking to start visualizing your data and making good business decisions. But that doesn't mean that it lacks power. We've built large data walls using a large number of sources and it works perfectly. And with some of the new query tools, we have even more options. 2. Databox is constantly improving the system. There have been a few times when we needed a feature and they listened to our requirements and added the feature. You don't see a lot of that nowadays. 3. The team there is really helpful and really positive. It's a pleasure to work with them and they make you feel like you are part of their team.
We've don't have a lot to dislike as we are standardizing on them. This industry is in its infancy and the technology is changing fast, so if you are not comfortable in that environment, you may consider that a dislike. But for us, this is not an issue at all.
They help us take a large amount of data from different systems and make it visible and actionable for our clients. This helps both us and our clients make better decisions which helps ROI. It's a pretty simple and powerful value prop.
