Where each one falls short

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

Octoboard

The interface and documentation are visibly less polished than AgencyAnalytics or Whatagraph, and agencies often spend longer than expected getting a first report to look presentable.
Connector reliability is the recurring complaint in this price bracket, and a silently stale connection means a client receives a report with wrong numbers before anyone notices.
Support is email based with no dedicated onboarding on the entry tiers, so a broken integration during a month-end reporting crunch can sit unresolved for days.
Because pricing is per connected client, an agency serving few clients with many channels each pays for capacity it does not use compared with per-source pricing.
Data retention and export options are thinner on lower tiers, so leaving Octoboard means losing report history rather than migrating it.

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.
