Boardly
Simplify formatting and sharing your Google Sheets data.

Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) is Google's dataviz tool. Ultra-connected (BigQuery, Sheets, SQL, etc.), it allows you to design rich, shareable reports, but is primarily aimed at data or marketing profiles capable of juggling with sources, dimensions, and metrics.

Detailed comparison table
A summary of the main differences between the two solutions to help you make the best choice
| Feature | Boardly | Looker Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of use | Ultra-intuitive interface. Immediate onboarding. Import, choose display (table/cards) and activate filters in a few clicks. AI automatically configures settings for you. | Steep learning curve: manual configuration of sources, fine understanding of dimensions/measures and filters essential. Not really plug-and-play for the average user. |
| Customization | Create attractive visuals (tables, cards) without code. Easy customization via drag & drop, no HTML/CSS required. | Large catalog of charts, flexible layouts, interactive filters, custom themes. No native CSS, but the interface allows for advanced branding via style options. |
| Integration | Instant integration of Google Sheets (Google Sites, WordPress, Notion, etc.). Automatic and consistent updates everywhere. | Sharing by link or iframe. Often used internally (team dashboards, PDF exports) rather than for public integration on a website. |
| Data presentation | Choose between classic tables or modern cards. Advanced filters can be activated in seconds. | Multi-page dashboards, dynamic filters, drill-down, field calculations, cross-source data-blending: ideal for advanced analysis, less for a simple Google Sheets showcase. |
| Artificial intelligence | AI simplifies everything. It configures and you use the result. Easy modifications through intuitive interface. | No native AI (some assistance on the BigQuery side, outside the core of the tool). |
