Who each tool is for
Bricks
Strong ChoiceBest 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.
Toggl Track
DefaultBest for: Consultants billing by the hour who need accurate time records for invoicing and profitability analysis.
Why pick it: One-click timer and automatic tracking mean you actually use it. Most time tracking tools fail because they are too tedious — Toggl is the exception.
Watch for: If you bill fixed-fee only and never need to analyze where your hours go, skip it. Bonsai includes basic time tracking if you already use it.
