The AgencyAnalytics alternative
built for freelancers
AgencyAnalytics is a powerful tool designed for agencies. If you're a freelancer who needs monthly GA4 PDF reports for your clients, NarratIQ is faster to set up and cheaper to run.
AgencyAnalytics: who is it for?
AgencyAnalytics is a Canadian all-in-one marketing reporting platform. It connects over 80 data sources (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mailchimp, SEMrush, etc.) and generates consolidated reports or dashboards for agency clients.
It's an excellent tool for full-service digital agencies with multi-channel clients. Its pricing model is designed for teams: each connected client costs a monthly fee, which can add up significantly for an independent freelancer with 5 to 10 clients.
What makes it awkward for smaller portfolios
Per-client billing
Monthly cost increases with every new client. This model works for agencies but is hard to justify for a solo freelancer.
Disproportionate complexity
80+ connectors is powerful, but if your clients only need their GA4 KPIs, you're paying for features you don't use.
Agency-oriented
The interface and features are designed for teams. A solo freelancer doesn't need all of that to deliver a monthly report.

How to choose between the two
✅ NarratIQ is for you if…
- → Your clients mainly need their Google Analytics KPIs
- → You want to send a branded monthly PDF
- → You're a freelancer or small agency (1 to 15 clients)
- → You want to get started in 5 minutes with no training
- → The GA4 report is your main monthly deliverable
AgencyAnalytics still makes sense if…
- → Your clients run GA4 + Ads + Social + Email campaigns
- → You manage a team and need multi-user collaboration
- → You want real-time interactive dashboards the client can access
- → You have 20+ clients and the per-client cost is amortised
Frequently asked questions
Can NarratIQ replace AgencyAnalytics for GA4 reports?▾
For standard monthly GA4 reports (traffic, acquisition, top pages, engagement), yes. AgencyAnalytics covers many more sources (Ads, Social, SEO) and remains relevant for multi-channel agencies. NarratIQ is better suited to freelancers who want a professional GA4 PDF report without paying for an agency-level tool.
Is my GA4 data protected with NarratIQ?▾
Yes. Read-only OAuth connection. No raw data stored in the database, encrypted cache TTL 6h only. AES-256 tokens. Infrastructure hosted in Europe (GDPR).
Does NarratIQ include branding on all plans?▾
Yes. Your logo, primary colour and agency name are available on all plans. The white-label option (hiding all NarratIQ mentions) is included.
Is it free?▾
NarratIQ offers a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. Plans start at €9.99/month after the trial.
Does AgencyAnalytics have an advantage over NarratIQ?▾
Yes: AgencyAnalytics consolidates many sources in one report (Google Ads, Facebook, LinkedIn, SEMrush, Mailchimp…). If your clients run multi-channel campaigns and you need to report everything, that's a real advantage. NarratIQ focuses on GA4 and offers a much faster experience for web analytics reporting.
