Best fit

Who each tool is for

Bricks

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants delivering executive reporting from uploaded datasets.

Why pick it: Upload a spreadsheet, get a polished dashboard in minutes. The AI generates narrative commentary alongside charts — ready for a client deck, not just data.

Watch for: No live data connections. If you need dashboards that refresh automatically from live sources, use Looker Studio or Databox instead.

Otter

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants running 10+ client calls per week who need searchable notes.

Why pick it: Speaker identification and searchable history mean you can find "what did the CFO say about budget in the March call" in seconds, not hours.

Watch for: If you run fewer than 5 meetings per week, Fathom (free tier) covers basic notes without a subscription.
