  • A marketing team wanting a cheap always-on KPI screen fed from ad and analytics platformsnot RAD Studio

Where each one falls short

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

RAD Studio

  • Professional edition costs $2,000 for the perpetual license plus $599 for year one maintenance, totaling $2,599 before tax
  • Enterprise edition steps up to $3,400 license plus $1,199 maintenance, and Architect edition to $4,416 license plus $2,183 maintenance
  • The perpetual license only entitles the buyer to updates for one year; continued access to new updates and upgrades requires an annually renewable Update Subscription

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
