Swydo vs DashThis vs Clearly

Three reporting tools, three billing units: per data source, per dashboard, or flat.

By Andrew McLeod · 5 min read

Swydo charges for data sources. DashThis charges for dashboards. Clearly charges a flat fee for the account. Most of what separates these three follows from that one difference.

The table sets them side by side on the things that usually decide it: what the bill is attached to, what you get without an add-on, and where each one stops.

At a glance

Checked against each vendor's own pricing page in August 2026. Each price is quoted in the currency that vendor publishes, with no conversion.

What each one charges for

The same year of reporting, billed three different ways.

Figure 1. What your bill is attached to

The model is the durable part. The figures move.

Swydo

Scales by

Data sources

Ten clients on four platforms is forty sources, so thirty of them are billed on top of the base. The rate per source falls as the count rises.

DashThis

Scales by

Dashboards

A dashboard per client walks up the tier ladder: 3, then 10, then 25, then 50. Sources rise with each tier rather than being billed one by one.

Clearly

Scales by

Nothing

One account fee whatever you connect. The ceiling is what the six connectors cover, rather than what the plan permits.

Where each one fits

Each model is generous to one shape of customer and expensive for another.

Swydo

Many clients across many platforms, where unlimited users and full white-label delivery matter, and the source count is predictable enough to budget for.

DashThis

Teams who want dashboards assembled quickly. Every plan carries all integrations and white-label, so the tiers are about volume rather than features.

Clearly

One business rather than a roster, where the monthly report needs to explain itself to somebody who does not read analytics.

What Clearly does not do

The gaps are in breadth and agency machinery.

Questions worth answering first

These four narrow it faster than a trial does.

  1. 1 How many data sources will you connect?

    Clients multiplied by platforms. That product is what a per-source bill is built on.

  2. 2 How many separate dashboards do you need?

    One per client is a different question from one for the business, and it is the axis a per-dashboard ladder prices.

  3. 3 Which platforms have to appear?

    Checking your list against each connector library eliminates options in two minutes.

  4. 4 Who reads the finished report?

    An analyst and an owner want different things: one wants a flexible canvas, the other wants the report to say what changed.

The short version

These three are priced for different shapes of business. Swydo suits breadth of platforms, DashThis suits volume of dashboards, and Clearly suits a single business whose source count would otherwise be the variable in the bill.

All three now include AI summaries, so that is no longer what separates them. What differs is how the summary is produced: Clearly computes its candidate factors in code and the model only ranks and narrates them, citing supplied numbers rather than generating any.

In Clearly: the free tier is a real report rather than a time-limited trial. Connect Search Console and GA4, pick a goal, and see whether the result reads like something you would forward.

Common questions

Which one is cheapest?

It depends on shape rather than headline price. A one-person business with four connected platforms pays least on a flat plan. An agency with ten clients on six platforms each is carrying sixty data sources, which is where per-source pricing adds up, though the rate per source falls as the count rises. An agency wanting one dashboard per client is climbing a tier ladder instead. Work out your own source and dashboard counts first.

Do Swydo and DashThis have more integrations than Clearly?

Yes, considerably. Swydo lists 32 or more and DashThis includes its full integration library on every plan. Clearly connects GA4, Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads and Google Sheets. If a report needs TikTok, Shopify, a CRM or call tracking, those are not available in Clearly today.

Do all three explain why numbers changed?

All three ship AI summaries now, so the honest answer is that the feature is common. Swydo includes AI report summaries with a monthly credit allowance and DashThis includes AI Insights with a Pro add-on above it. Clearly's difference is in the method: it computes around ten candidate factors deterministically in code, then the model ranks and narrates the top two or three, citing only numbers it was handed. That constraint means it cannot invent a figure, which matters more in a client-facing report than the presence of the feature.

Is a free tier the same as a free trial?

No. Swydo offers a 14 day trial with no card, and DashThis offers a trial whose length is not stated on its pricing page. Clearly's free tier is a permanent plan with one report on it. A trial answers whether you can build the thing in two weeks; a free tier answers whether you still open it in month three.

Are these prices current?

They were checked in August 2026 against each vendor's own pricing page, and both pages are linked above. Note that Swydo publishes in euros and DashThis in US dollars, and this page does not convert between them. Treat the billing model as the durable part and confirm the figures before you buy.
