Where each one falls short

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

Mode

Free tier limited to 4GB RAM and 1 CPU for SQL notebooks, insufficient for large datasets
Requires SQL knowledge for most analysis tasks, creating dependency on technical resources
Paid plan pricing not publicly listed; requires sales consultation
Recently acquired by ThoughtSpot in 2026, creating product direction uncertainty
Limited customization options for visual aspects and embedded analytics

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.
