The short version

  • Dagger has a free plan, then $50/mo; Reportz starts at $9.9/mo.
  • Only Dagger lists pipelines as code; only Reportz lists per-dashboard pricing.
  • Where Reportz falls short: there is no data modelling, SQL or warehouse layer, so cross-source analysis is limited to what the widget set already supports.
  • Prices and features on this page were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

  • An engineering organisation migrating off a CI provider that does not want to rewrite every pipeline as part of the migrationnot Reportz
  • A team whose engineers waste hours pushing commits to debug CI-only failures and needs to reproduce the exact run locallynot Reportz
  • A monorepo where most commits touch a small subset of services and cache-accurate step skipping cuts build minutes materiallynot Reportz

Reportz

  • A five-person SEO agency reporting to twenty five clients that cannot justify several hundred dollars a month for reporting softwarenot Dagger
  • A freelancer who needs one white-labelled dashboard per client and nothing elsenot Dagger
  • An agency giving clients a live link instead of a monthly PDF, without buying client seatsnot Dagger
  • A marketing team wanting a cheap always-on KPI screen fed from ad and analytics platformsnot Dagger

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dagger

  • Dagger is not a CI provider, so you keep paying for GitHub Actions or GitLab runners underneath it; the Dagger Cloud subscription is an addition to your CI bill, not a replacement for it
  • Writing pipelines in Go or TypeScript raises the barrier to entry: a release engineer who could edit a YAML step now needs to read code, and the people who can fix a broken build shrink to those comfortable with the SDK
  • The engine runs as a container on the runner and needs a persistent cache volume to deliver its main benefit, so ephemeral CI runners give you correctness without the speed, and provisioning durable cache storage is extra platform work
  • The Team plan caps at ten users and ten million events per month; an organisation of any size crosses that quickly and moves to Enterprise pricing that is not published, so cost at scale is unknowable up front
  • The module ecosystem is young and thinly maintained relative to the marketplace of a mature CI provider, so integrations that exist as a one-line Action often have to be written yourself as a Dagger function

Reportz

  • The connector library is smaller than the established agency reporting tools, and if a platform you report on is missing there is no practical route to getting it added
  • Four Dots is a small agency-owned business rather than a funded software company, so API breakages and platform changes can take longer to fix than at larger vendors
  • There is no data modelling, SQL or warehouse layer, so cross-source analysis is limited to what the widget set already supports
  • Per-dashboard billing means an agency that builds several views per client loses the headline price advantage quickly
  • Documentation and support are thin compared with larger competitors, and complex setups often need direct email support rather than self-service answers

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dagger: Does Dagger replace GitHub Actions?

No. Dagger runs inside GitHub Actions or any other CI. It replaces the YAML that describes your pipeline steps, not the trigger and runner layer.

Reportz: What does Reportz cost?

9.90 US dollars per dashboard per month, with unlimited users and data sources on every tier.

Dagger: Is the engine open source?

Yes, the Dagger engine and SDKs are open source and free. Dagger Cloud, the observability product, is what costs money.

Reportz: Is there a free plan?

No, but there is a fifteen day trial with no card required.

Dagger: What is an event in the pricing?

Dagger Cloud meters pipeline telemetry events. One million per month is free; the Team plan at 50 USD per month allows ten million.

Reportz: Who is behind it?

Four Dots, a digital marketing agency in Belgrade that built the tool for its own client reporting.

Dagger: Can I run the same pipeline on my laptop?

Yes, that is the main reason teams adopt it. The dagger CLI executes the identical graph locally, so CI-only failures become reproducible.

Reportz: Can clients view without a login?

Yes, dashboards can be shared as a public link under your own domain.
