Swydo vs Reporting Ninja
Reporting Ninja is one of the cheapest reporting tools around: $25 a month covers 10 reports and 10 accounts of each data source type, plus connectors for Data Studio and Google Sheets. Swydo costs more and is built around monitoring every client, not just sending their reports.
