The short version

  • Only Kissmetrics has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Kissmetrics overages are added automatically to the next invoice rather than blocked, so exceeding an event allowance bills without a decision point; Swydo pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.
  • They diverge on capability: Kissmetrics covers Customer analytics, Swydo covers Multi-platform connectors.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Kissmetrics

  • Overages are added automatically to the next invoice rather than blocked, so exceeding an event allowance bills without a decision point
  • The free plan allows 100,000 events a month
  • Per event rates fall with volume, from $0.20 per 1,000 events on Growth to $0.10 on Gold, so smaller customers pay double per event
  • The vendor states Growth, Silver and Gold are the identical product, so the paid tiers differ only in unit price and volume
  • Anything above 5 million events is custom priced

Swydo

  • Pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.
  • There is no data warehouse or SQL layer, so any calculation the interface does not offer natively cannot be built, and complex attribution reporting has to happen elsewhere.
  • Historical data lives with the connection, so removing a departed client destroys the reporting history for that account unless it was exported first.
  • The connector list is around forty sources and skews to mainstream ad platforms, so agencies serving niche verticals with bespoke platforms will still need manual data entry or Google Sheets bridges.
  • Report design is template-driven rather than free-form, so agencies that sell on the polish of their deliverables often find they cannot match a designed InDesign or Canva output.
