Try AskBiz free for 14 days →Google Looker Studio is a capable free tool for teams with a data analyst to build and maintain reports. AskBiz is built for founders and operators who want answers without building dashboards — it connects your Shopify, Amazon, Xero, and ad accounts and tells you what's happening, every day.
Yes, Looker Studio is free. However, you need to build every report and dashboard yourself, which typically requires a data analyst or someone comfortable with data modelling. AskBiz has a paid subscription but does all the setup work for you — most SME founders are seeing value within minutes of connecting their first data source.
Not natively. You'd need to export Shopify data to Google Sheets and connect that, or use a paid third-party connector. AskBiz connects directly to Shopify, Amazon, Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, and advertising platforms out of the box.
AskBiz by a significant margin. Looker Studio requires you to understand data sources, dimensions, metrics, and chart configuration. AskBiz asks you a question and answers it in plain English using your actual business data.
Connect your first data source in under 10 minutes. No credit card required.
