Swydo
Automated client reporting priced per connected data source, not per client
Swydo is an automated marketing reporting and monitoring platform for agencies and in-house marketing teams. It pulls performance data from advertising, analytics, SEO, social, and email platforms into white-labeled PDF reports and live dashboards, schedules them to clients on a recurring cadence, and monitors KPIs against targets with email alerts. It is billed per connected data source rather than per client or per user, so clients, users, dashboards, and reports are all unlimited on every plan.
Overview
Client reporting is the part of agency work that consumes the most hours and produces the least defensible value, because the labor of assembling the numbers is invisible to the client who receives them. Swydo exists to remove that labor. It connects to the platforms a campaign runs on, renders the data into a branded report or live dashboard, and sends it on a schedule so nobody on the team has to remember. The company name is an acronym for Show What You Do Online, which is a fair statement of the whole product thesis.
The commercial decision that distinguishes Swydo from most of its category is the pricing axis. Competitors typically meter by client count, by user seat, or by both, which means an agency pays more when it hires a junior analyst or takes on a client with a single small campaign. Swydo meters by data source, defined as one connected account on one integration. Ten clients running both Google Ads and Facebook Ads is twenty data sources. Everything else is uncapped: unlimited clients, unlimited users, unlimited reports, unlimited dashboards. For an agency with many people looking at a moderate number of accounts, that arithmetic lands well; for an agency with hundreds of thin accounts each connected to six platforms, it lands badly, and the bill grows in a way the headline price does not signal.
Swydo is Dutch, founded in Hilversum in 2011 as a digital agency and relaunched as SaaS in 2013. It was acquired by the American call analytics company DialogTech in January 2018, then bought back in May 2021 by co-founder Jeroen Maljers together with former Google Benelux managing director Marc Duijndam, which returned it to independent ownership. It is a deliberately small company, roughly two dozen people, and the product reflects that: a tight set of about thirty to fifty integrations covering the mainstream paid, organic, and analytics channels rather than a sprawling connector catalog, with a Google Sheets bridge as the escape hatch for anything unsupported. Through 2026 the visible investment has gone into AI, first as generated report commentary and then, in August 2026, as agentic report building where you describe the report you want in conversation and the system assembles the sections, widgets, and charts.
Best for
Small and mid-sized digital marketing agencies with a meaningful headcount and a manageable number of connected accounts per client, who want scheduled white-labeled client reports and KPI alerting without paying per seat or per client.
Not the right fit for
- Agencies with a long tail of very small clients each wired to five or six platforms; the per-data-source meter multiplies fast and this is the single most common pricing complaint.
- Teams that need to blend data from a warehouse, a CRM export, or an arbitrary API; there is no CSV upload, no no-code API connector, and no direct BigQuery or Snowflake destination, so everything unsupported routes through Google Sheets.
- Analysts who want pixel-level control over layout and chart rendering, which is where a Looker Studio build still wins.
- Organizations that need Swydo to be an ETL pipeline feeding other tools; it is a reporting front end, not a data transfer service.
- Buyers looking for a free tier; there is a 14-day trial and then a monthly minimum, with no permanently free plan.
How it works
- 1
You create a client in Swydo and authorize the platforms that client runs on: Google Ads, Meta, GA4, Search Console, LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, Semrush, Mailchimp, and so on. Each authorized account becomes one billed data source. Swydo runs automated health checks on those connections and emails you when an API token expires or a permission is revoked, which is the failure mode that otherwise sends a client a report full of zeros.
- 2
Reports are built from widgets: KPI tiles, tables, charts, and text blocks, arranged by drag and drop across sections. Widgets can combine metrics from more than one platform in a single view, and custom metrics let you write formulas for the numbers your agency actually reports on, such as a marked-up cost per acquisition or a blended ROAS across channels. Branding is applied through brand templates covering logo, colors, over a thousand Google Fonts, cover pages, headers, footers, and PDF styling, and individual widgets can carry a different brand template than the report around them.
- 3
A finished report is saved as a template and applied across the client base, so a master PPC report can be rolled out to every account at once and each copy pulls its own client's data. Delivery is scheduled weekly, monthly, or on a custom interval, either as a PDF attachment or as a live online dashboard link. A client portal, added in July 2026, gathers a client's reports, boards, and goals behind one password-protected address with regenerable links.
- 4
The monitoring half of the product is separate from reporting. Boards show up to six chosen KPIs per client across an entire portfolio so a team lead can scan for accounts that need attention, with heatmap coloring against targets. Goals set explicit targets and track progress toward them, and KPI alerts email the team when a metric crosses a threshold, which is what turns the tool from a monthly ritual into something that catches a budget overspend on the day it happens.
- 5
AI sits on top of both. Report summaries are generated as an email content block using default prompts for Summary, Wins, Issues, or Recommendations, and once added to a scheduled report they regenerate on every send. Agentic Reporting, released in August 2026, extends this to construction: you describe the report in natural language and Swydo creates the sections, KPIs, tables, and charts, changes date ranges and chart types, and reorganizes the layout through conversation, with Saved Prompts to reuse the ones that worked. AI usage draws on 4,000 credits per month included with every account, and an average summary consumes roughly 95 of them.
Feature breakdown
29 features in 5 modulesReport building
Drag-and-drop construction of the client-facing document, with reuse as the organizing idea.- Widget-based drag-and-drop editor
- Reports are assembled from KPI tiles, tables, charts, and text blocks arranged into sections, with no code and no separate design step.
- Cross-platform widgets
- A single widget can combine metrics from more than one connected source, so paid spend and organic sessions sit in the same table rather than in separate chapters.
- Custom metrics and formulas
- Write your own calculated metrics directly in widget settings for agency markups, blended CPA, or a ROAS definition that matches how you actually invoice.
- Quick-start templates
- Prebuilt report templates per channel (Google Ads, SEO, social, email) that arrive populated with the standard widgets so a first report is minutes rather than an afternoon.
- Master templates rolled out across clients
- Build one report once, apply it to the whole client base, and each instance pulls that client's own data; changes to the master propagate rather than needing per-client edits.
- Annotations and commentary blocks
- Text sections sit alongside the numbers so the strategist's explanation is part of the deliverable rather than a separate email.
White label and delivery
Making the report look like the agency's and getting it to the client without human involvement.- Brand templates
- Logo, color palette, and a choice from over a thousand Google Fonts, applied across cover pages, headers, footers, and PDF styling.
- Per-widget branding
- Added in June 2026, an individual widget can carry a different brand template than its parent report, which matters for co-branded or multi-brand reporting.
- Client-specific personalization
- Individual client logos and custom cover pages per account, so the same master template ships looking bespoke to each recipient.
- Scheduled PDF and live dashboard delivery
- Weekly, monthly, or custom intervals, sent as a PDF attachment or as a live online link that keeps refreshing after it lands.
- Client portal
- Released July 2026, a password-protected destination collecting a client's reports, boards, and goals in one place, with regenerable links if access needs revoking.
- Multi-language reports
- Reports render in fourteen languages, which is a genuine differentiator for agencies serving European markets from one account.
Monitoring, goals, and alerts
The half of the product that runs between reports rather than at month end.- Portfolio boards
- Choose up to six KPIs per view and see them across every client at once, so an account lead can scan a book of business instead of opening twenty dashboards.
- Goals and targets
- Set explicit numeric targets per client and track progress against them over the period, with the target carried into the client-facing report.
- Heatmap target coloring
- Green and red coding against targets in heatmap views, added June 2026, which turns a grid of numbers into something scannable in seconds.
- KPI threshold alerts
- Email notifications when a metric crosses a custom threshold, so a spend spike or a conversion collapse is caught the day it happens.
- Data source health checks
- Automated monitoring of connection status with reauthorization alerts when an API token expires, preventing the classic empty-report embarrassment.
AI reporting
Generated commentary since 2025, and generated report structure since August 2026.- AI report summaries
- A content block in the report email that generates a written summary from the underlying data, positioned by drag and drop and regenerated automatically on every scheduled send.
- Prompt presets
- Default prompts for Summary, Wins, Issues, and Recommendations, which cover the four things a client email is normally trying to say.
- Chat with a report
- Ask questions of a specific report's data conversationally rather than building a new widget to answer a one-off question.
- Agentic report building
- Released August 2026: describe the report you want and Swydo creates the sections, KPIs, tables, and charts, edits widgets, changes date ranges and chart types, and reorganizes sections through conversation.
- Saved prompts
- Reusable prompts stored for the team, so a new hire's first client report comes out in the same shape as everyone else's.
- Included AI credits
- 4,000 credits a month on every account rather than a paid add-on, with an average summary costing roughly 95 credits; credits reset monthly and do not roll over.
Data sources and account management
What connects, and how a multi-person agency is organized inside the tool.- Roughly fifty integrations
- Concentrated on mainstream paid media, analytics, SEO, social, call tracking, and email rather than a long catalog of niche connectors.
- Google Sheets and Excel bridge
- The documented route for anything unsupported: land the data in a sheet and Swydo reports on it, which covers offline sales, CRM exports, and small in-house tools.
- Unlimited users and clients
- Seats and client count are not metered at all, so adding an intern or a small retainer client costs nothing beyond the data sources they consume.
- Role-based access control
- User management with roles so junior staff, client-facing leads, and clients themselves see appropriate slices of the account.
- Team-based filtering
- Monitoring views can be filtered to a team's own book of clients, which keeps a fifty-client dashboard usable inside a structured agency.
- Toggl time tracking
- Out of beta in May 2026: billable and non-billable hours reported alongside marketing performance, which is how an agency shows effort next to outcome in one document.
Use cases
4 documentedTwelve-person PPC agency doing monthly client reporting by hand
Two account managers spend most of the first week of every month exporting from Google Ads and Meta into slide decks, and the reports go out late often enough that clients have started asking.
One master PPC template is applied across all twenty-eight clients and scheduled for the second of the month; the manual week disappears, and the account managers' time moves to the commentary block, which is the part clients actually read.
Agency owner who keeps discovering problems a month too late
A client's Google Ads conversion tracking broke on the ninth and nobody noticed until the monthly report was assembled on the second of the following month, at which point three weeks of spend had gone nowhere.
KPI alerts on conversion volume and cost per conversion fire within a day of the break, and the portfolio board makes the anomaly visible across the whole client list rather than only in the account someone happened to open.
In-house marketing manager reporting upward to a board
Monthly board reporting means pulling five platforms into a spreadsheet, and the numbers get questioned because nobody can trace where they came from.
A single scheduled dashboard with defined goals and targets becomes the standing source, and the custom metric definitions mean the blended CPA in the board pack is calculated the same way every month.
Franchise or multi-location brand reporting to local operators
Forty locations each need their own performance report, branded to the parent, in the language of their market, and the central team cannot produce forty documents a month.
One template rolled across forty client records, rendered in the appropriate language of the fourteen supported, delivered through the client portal so each operator sees only their own numbers.
Pricing
from EUR 69 per month for the first 10 data sources (EUR 62 per month billed annually)One plan, metered by active data source. A data source is one connected account on one integration, so a client using Google Ads and Facebook Ads counts as two. The base subscription covers the first ten data sources, and additional sources are charged on a sliding scale that gets cheaper with volume. Clients, users, reports, and dashboards are unlimited at every level, and all features are on every account. Prices are billed in EUR inside the EU and USD elsewhere, excluding VAT.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Base subscription | EUR 69 per month (EUR 62 billed annually) |
Annual billing carries a 10 percent discount. There is no cheaper entry point and no free plan. |
| 11 to 100 data sources | EUR 4.50 per additional data source, per month |
An agency with 25 clients on three platforms each sits at 75 data sources, roughly EUR 361 a month at this rate. |
| 101 to 500 data sources | EUR 3.00 per additional data source, per month |
|
| 501 or more data sources | EUR 2.00 per additional data source, per month |
Swydo Enterprise is quote-only and reached through sales, but the self-serve path scales a long way before that becomes necessary. |
Billing notes
- The meter is connected accounts, not clients, so the same client costs more the more platforms they run on; a client on six channels consumes six data sources.
- Disconnecting a data source you are no longer using is a manual housekeeping task, and reviewers repeatedly report paying for connections nobody remembered to remove.
- Reviewers have also reported unexpected charges for exceeding a data source count, so the sliding scale should be treated as a meter to watch rather than a fixed subscription.
- Annual billing saves 10 percent, a smaller discount than the 20 to 25 percent common elsewhere in this category.
- AI credits are included rather than sold separately, but the 4,000 monthly allowance works out to roughly 42 report summaries, which a fifty-client agency will exhaust.
- Prices exclude VAT, and EU customers are billed in EUR while everyone else is billed in USD.
Value assessment: Whether Swydo is cheap or expensive depends almost entirely on the shape of your client base, and the shape it rewards is a small number of platforms per client with a large number of people looking at the results. An agency of thirty staff serving fifteen clients on two channels each pays about EUR 159 a month and gets unlimited seats, which is difficult to beat against per-user or per-client competitors. An agency of five serving sixty small local clients on four channels each is at 240 data sources and roughly EUR 760, at which point per-client pricing elsewhere may cost less. Do the arithmetic on your actual connection count before comparing headline prices, because the headline is the least informative number on the page.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Per-data-source pricing with unlimited users and clients, which is the friendliest model in the category for an agency whose headcount grows faster than its platform count.
- Every feature is on every plan, so white labeling, AI, alerting, and the client portal are not held back behind an upgrade.
- Master templates that roll across the entire client base and propagate changes, which is the single biggest time saving the tool delivers.
- Monitoring and alerting are genuinely part of the product rather than an afterthought, so problems surface between reports rather than in them.
- Data source health checks with reauthorization alerts prevent the specific failure that damages client trust most: a report full of zeros.
- Fourteen-language report rendering, unusual in a category dominated by English-only US products.
- Independent and founder-owned since the 2021 buyback, with a small team shipping visible monthly changes rather than a roadmap frozen by an acquirer.
Limitations
- No CSV upload, no no-code API connector, and no data warehouse destination; anything outside the roughly fifty native integrations has to be staged in Google Sheets first.
- The integration list is deliberately narrow compared to platforms carrying hundreds of connectors, so a client on a less common ad network or ecommerce platform may simply not be reportable.
- Data blending is limited to combining metrics inside a widget and writing custom formulas; there is no transformation layer, no joins across arbitrary datasets, and no SQL.
- Known filtering constraints in specific integrations, including the inability to apply multiple filters of the same type in Facebook Ads reporting.
- KPI presentation customization has hard edges; users report being unable to exclude individual conversion actions from a cost-per-conversion widget.
- The per-data-source meter creates real bill creep, and disconnecting unused sources is manual, which is the most frequent complaint in public reviews.
- Layout control is template-bound; if you want a report designed to the pixel, this is not the tool.
- No free plan, so evaluation is a 14-day trial and then a monthly minimum.
- A roughly two-dozen-person company means a small support and engineering surface, which is a fair thing to weigh if a client-critical integration breaks.
Head-to-head comparisons
7 alternativesSwydo vs ReportGarden
from $75 per month (Standard, up to 5 clients; list price $89)Both target the same agency buyer and both bundle reporting with some operational tooling, but they meter differently: ReportGarden has historically priced by client count and layered in budget and campaign management, while Swydo prices by connected data source and stays focused on reporting and monitoring. Agencies with many clients on few channels tend to prefer Swydo's math; agencies with fewer clients on many channels tend to prefer client-count pricing. Swydo's advantage is that seats are free and every feature is on every plan.
Full Swydo vs ReportGarden comparisonSwydo vs Metrics Watch
from $49 per month for Reports (2 reports), or $41 per month billed annually; Alerts starts at $79 per monthMetrics Watch is the deliberately minimal option: reports delivered in the body of an email, no PDFs, no dashboards, and a price that reflects the narrower scope. Swydo is the fuller product, with live dashboards, a client portal, goals, threshold alerting, and AI report construction. If the requirement is genuinely just a recurring email of numbers to a client, Metrics Watch is cheaper and faster to configure. If the deliverable needs to look like an agency produced it, Swydo is the one to buy.
Full Swydo vs Metrics Watch comparisonSwydo vs AgencyAnalytics
from $20 USD per client per month billed annually (roughly $25 billed monthly)The most common head-to-head in this category, and it is a pricing-model argument. AgencyAnalytics prices per client with a larger integration catalog and bundles SEO tooling such as rank tracking and site audits, which Swydo does not have natively. Swydo prices per data source with unlimited clients and users and keeps every feature on every plan. Agencies doing SEO retainers usually find AgencyAnalytics does more of the job in one subscription; PPC-heavy agencies with big teams usually find Swydo cheaper and cleaner.
Full Swydo vs AgencyAnalytics comparisonSwydo vs Whatagraph
from From 699 euros per month, billed annually (Max, from 50 source credits)Whatagraph pushes harder on visual polish and on data transfer, including warehouse destinations, and it sells at a noticeably higher entry price with an annual commitment expectation. Swydo starts at EUR 69 a month self-serve and is more modest visually. Choose Whatagraph if the report is a design artifact or if you need the data to land somewhere beyond the report; choose Swydo if the requirement is reliable scheduled reporting and KPI alerting at a predictable, lower cost of entry.
Full Swydo vs Whatagraph comparisonSwydo vs DashThis
from $44 per month on the Individual plan billed yearly ($54 billed monthly) for 3 dashboards and 15 sourcesDashThis is closest to Swydo in spirit: a straightforward dashboard and report tool priced by dashboard count rather than by seat. The dividing line is the meter. DashThis charges by the number of dashboards you maintain, Swydo by the number of accounts you connect. A team keeping few dashboards fed by many sources prefers DashThis; a team keeping many dashboards over few sources prefers Swydo. Swydo has the stronger monitoring and alerting layer, DashThis the simpler mental model.
Full Swydo vs DashThis comparisonSwydo vs Databox
from $0 (Free), then $64 per month billed annually (Analyst)Databox is built around live KPI dashboards, goals, and mobile monitoring for a company watching its own numbers, with a large connector library and a usable free tier. Swydo is built around the scheduled, white-labeled client deliverable. An in-house team tracking its own performance is generally better served by Databox; an agency that has to send forty branded reports on the second of the month is better served by Swydo, whose template rollout and per-client branding exist for exactly that job.
Full Swydo vs Databox comparisonSwydo vs Supermetrics
from €49 per month (Starter), or €39 per month billed yearlyDifferent layers of the same stack rather than direct competitors. Supermetrics is a data pipeline that moves marketing data into Sheets, Looker Studio, or a warehouse, leaving the presentation to you; Swydo is a finished reporting front end with no warehouse destination at all. Teams that want to own their data and build their own visuals pick Supermetrics, often with Looker Studio on top. Teams that want the report to exist without a build project pick Swydo. Agencies that need both usually end up paying for both.
Full Swydo vs Supermetrics comparisonImplementation & onboarding
- Setup time
- A first report is realistic in an afternoon: authorize the data sources for one client, start from a quick-start template, adjust widgets, and schedule it. The work that takes longer is building the master templates you intend to roll across the whole client base, which is worth doing carefully because every later change propagates from there.
- Learning curve
- Moderate. The widget editor is straightforward, but reviewers consistently note a setup learning curve around custom metrics, combined data sources, and understanding exactly what counts as a billed data source. Teams that skip the template discipline early tend to end up maintaining dozens of one-off reports, which is the failure mode the product is designed to avoid.
- Onboarding
- Self-serve with a 14-day trial and no credit card, backed by a help center and live human support the company markets as personal rather than automated. Enterprise accounts get free onboarding and a full account migration service from a competing tool, with 24/5 chat and email support.
- Migration notes
- Report structures do not transfer between reporting vendors, so migration means rebuilding templates rather than importing them, and the company offers a migration service at the enterprise level for exactly that reason. Historical data is fetched live from the source platforms rather than stored, so switching does not lose history as long as the underlying platform retains it. Before cancelling, export the PDFs you are contractually obliged to keep for clients, and disconnect data sources to stop the meter.
Platform, API & security
- Platforms
- Web applicationResponsive dashboards viewable on mobile browsersPDF and live-link report deliveryPassword-protected client portal
- API
- No public open API for arbitrary data ingestion. Integrations are native OAuth connections to supported platforms, with Google Sheets and Excel serving as the documented route for third-party or offline data. Enterprise accounts can have custom integrations built by the vendor.
- Compliance
- GDPREU-based data processing
- Data residency
- The company is headquartered and operates from the Netherlands, so processing sits under EU data protection law.
- SSO
- Not published as a standard feature; user management is role-based, and access options beyond that are handled through the Enterprise tier.
- Security notes
- Access to client data is scoped by role, and client-facing report links can be password protected and regenerated to revoke access. Connections are OAuth-based to the source platforms, and automated health checks surface revoked or expired authorizations rather than silently returning empty data.
Support & resources
- Channels
- Live chatEmail supportHelp center and documentation24/5 support on Enterprise
- Documentation
- A maintained help center covering integrations, widget configuration, custom metrics, and billing, plus a public changelog that is updated with each release and is unusually specific about what shipped and when.
- Community
- No large public user community. The company compensates with direct human support, which is a plausible trade at its size, and with an active blog covering agency reporting practice.

Frequently asked questions
12 questionsWhat is Swydo used for?
Swydo automates marketing reporting for agencies and in-house teams. It connects to advertising, analytics, SEO, social, and email platforms, assembles the data into white-labeled PDF reports or live dashboards, sends them to clients on a schedule, and monitors KPIs against targets with email alerts when a threshold is crossed. The core use is eliminating the manual month-end work of building client reports by hand.
How much does Swydo cost?
The base subscription is EUR 69 per month (EUR 62 billed annually) and covers the first ten data sources. Additional data sources cost EUR 4.50 each per month from 11 to 100, EUR 3.00 from 101 to 500, and EUR 2.00 above 501, with custom quotes past 1,000. Clients, users, reports, and dashboards are unlimited, and all features are included at every level. Prices exclude VAT and are billed in USD outside the EU.
What counts as a data source in Swydo?
Every account you connect to an integration counts as one data source. If you connect ten clients to both Google Ads and Facebook Ads, that is twenty data sources. This is the entire pricing meter, so the count to estimate is not your client count but your client count multiplied by the average number of platforms each one runs on.
Does Swydo have a free plan?
No. There is a 14-day free trial that does not require a credit card, and after that the minimum is the EUR 69 monthly base subscription. Competitors such as Databox and Looker Studio do offer free tiers, so if a zero-cost option is a requirement, Swydo is not it.
Swydo vs AgencyAnalytics: which is better for an agency?
It depends on your service mix and team size. AgencyAnalytics prices per client, carries a much larger integration catalog, and bundles SEO tooling such as rank tracking and site audits. Swydo prices per connected data source with unlimited clients and unlimited users, and puts every feature on every plan. SEO-heavy agencies usually get more in one subscription from AgencyAnalytics; large-team PPC agencies with a moderate platform count per client usually pay less with Swydo.
Does Swydo do white-label reporting?
Yes, and it is included on every plan rather than gated behind an upgrade. Brand templates cover logo, colors, over a thousand Google Fonts, cover pages, headers, footers, and PDF styling, and individual clients can have their own logos and cover pages. Since June 2026 an individual widget can also carry a different brand template than the report around it.
Can Swydo report on data from a platform it does not integrate with?
Only through Google Sheets or Excel. There is no CSV upload, no no-code API connector, and no data warehouse connection, so unsupported sources have to be staged in a spreadsheet that Swydo then reads. This is the most significant functional limitation compared with platforms that offer a generic API connector or a warehouse destination.
Who owns Swydo?
It is independent and founder-owned. Swydo was acquired by the American call analytics company DialogTech in January 2018, then bought back in May 2021 by co-founder Jeroen Maljers alongside former Google Benelux managing director Marc Duijndam. It has been independently operated from Hilversum in the Netherlands since.
What are Swydo's AI features and do they cost extra?
AI report summaries generate written commentary as an email content block, with presets for Summary, Wins, Issues, and Recommendations, and they regenerate on every scheduled send. Agentic Reporting, released August 2026, builds the report itself from a natural-language description, creating sections, KPIs, tables, and charts. AI is included rather than an add-on: every account gets 4,000 credits a month, and an average summary uses about 95, so roughly 42 summaries before the ceiling.
Does Swydo charge per user?
No. Users, clients, reports, and dashboards are all unlimited on every plan. Cost scales only with the number of connected data sources, which makes it unusually friendly for an agency adding staff and unusually unfriendly for an agency adding a long tail of small clients each wired to several platforms.
What do users complain about most in Swydo?
Bill creep from the per-data-source meter is the most consistent theme, made worse because disconnecting unused sources is a manual chore and some reviewers report unexpected charges for exceeding their count. Beyond pricing, the recurring items are the narrow integration list, limited data blending, occasional integration disconnects, and specific customization gaps such as being unable to apply multiple filters of the same type in Facebook Ads reporting or exclude individual conversion actions from a cost-per-conversion widget.
Is Swydo GDPR compliant?
The company is headquartered in the Netherlands and processes data under EU law, which is a meaningful starting point for European agencies. Client report links can be password protected and regenerated to revoke access, and user permissions are role-based. As with any processor, the controller obligations for the client data you connect remain with your agency.
Editorial verdict
Swydo is a focused, well-maintained reporting tool from a small independent Dutch company, and its case rests almost entirely on one decision: charging for connected accounts rather than for clients or seats. That makes it the cheapest credible option in this category for an agency whose people outnumber its platform connections, and it puts every feature, including white labeling and AI, on the entry plan. The 2026 release cadence is genuinely fast for a twenty-four-person team, and the monitoring and alerting layer is better than most competitors treat it. The honest constraints are the narrow integration list, the absence of any generic data ingestion route beyond Google Sheets, and a meter that quietly grows if nobody prunes dead connections. Count your actual data sources first, then compare; that number, not the EUR 69, decides whether this is the value play or the expensive one.
