Looker Studio is the go-to pick if you're already living in the Google ecosystem and want free, shareable dashboards without a learning curve. The biggest pro is that it costs nothing and connects to Google Analytics and Ads out of the box — a huge win for small marketing teams. The main downside is that connecting to non-Google tools like Shopify, HubSpot, or QuickBooks usually means paying $20–$50/month for a third-party connector like Supermetrics or Windsor.ai.
