Databox connects to dozens of sources and gives you powerful dashboards for monitoring performance. But a dashboard is something your client has to open — and most don't. What clients actually want is a clear summary in their inbox each month, with their numbers and nothing else to figure out. Reportly does that one job: connect a client once, and a branded report sends itself on schedule, automatically.

Databox is a trademark of its respective owner. Comparison reflects typical agency client-reporting workflows.
One OAuth click pulls live GA4 data. Reportly handles token refresh, API changes, and rate limits, so you never rebuild a broken report again.
Add your logo and brand color once. Every client gets a report that looks in-house, emailed on the schedule you pick: weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Clients get a clean summary they actually read, with every metric showing its number and direction. No logins, no 'is that good?', no dashboard to explain.
The math most agencies skip
Whatever you pay for software, building and sending a report for every client every month runs about 2 hrs each. Across 10 clients at $75/hr, that's $1,500/mo of your time, to do by hand what Reportly automates for $49.
If you use Databox primarily to deliver recurring reports to clients, yes. Reportly automates the build-and-send entirely. If you rely on Databox for internal KPI monitoring, scorecards, or team dashboards, that's a separate workflow Reportly doesn't try to replace.
A branded email and PDF report with your logo, brand color, and every metric showing its number and direction. Nothing to log into, nothing to learn.
Yes. Reportly pulls live from GA4, so the numbers match each client's own dashboard. Nothing is re-keyed or approximated.
About 5 minutes per client: one OAuth connection, pick a schedule, add your branding once. Then it runs itself every period.
Many agencies do: Databox for internal KPI monitoring and Reportly for the recurring branded report that goes to clients on schedule.
