Who each tool is for
Looker Studio
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants delivering recurring client dashboards on a budget.
Why pick it: Completely free with live data connections to Google Analytics, Sheets, BigQuery, and 800+ connectors. The only $0/mo dashboarding tool that handles recurring client reports.
Watch for: Steeper learning curve than Bricks. If you need a one-off report from a spreadsheet, Bricks is faster.
Notion AI
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants building a reusable knowledge base across clients and engagements.
Why pick it: Your consulting knowledge compounds here. Meeting notes, frameworks, templates, and client wikis are all connected, searchable, and enhanced by AI.
Watch for: Can become a rabbit hole of organization. If you need simple note-taking without databases and wikis, a plain doc tool is faster.
