Compare·Databox
Every tool on one screen, but none of the visits behind it.
Databox puts numbers from 130+ tools on one screen, with goals, forecasts and an AI analyst on top. It has no tracker of its own, so it shows what your other tools report, synced daily on its free plan, and any revenue by channel is whatever those tools worked out.
What Databox is
A business analytics platform that pulls metrics from 130+ tools, spreadsheets, databases and APIs into dashboards, reports, goals and forecasts, with an AI analyst called Genie.

Where Databox wins.
If one of these is a must-have for you, go with them.
All your tools on one screen
Databox reads 130+ tools, plus spreadsheets, databases and APIs, so ad spend, pipeline and finance sit beside your traffic. We connect payment providers and Search Console, and read our own events.
Targets and forecasts
Set goals and OKRs on any metric and forecast where it is heading. Our goals count conversions. We set no targets and forecast nothing.
Built for client reporting
An agency plan adds client accounts in packs and reports across them, and white-label is an add-on on any plan. We share a board by read-only link and have no white-label option.
AI on the free plan
Its AI analyst, Genie, is on every plan, Free included, metered in credits. Our in-app assistant comes with Growth, though MCP is on every plan.
Where Spreelytics wins.
Every line here is a page in the product today.
Data of our own
One script tag collects visits, sources, pages and events, queryable within seconds. Databox has no tracker. It shows what your other tools report, on their definitions, synced daily on Free and hourly on paid plans.
People, not just totals
Every number opens onto the people behind it: person timelines, segments, funnels and retention, all on the same events. Databox works from what each tool reports, and has no visitors of its own to follow from first visit to payment.
Revenue tied to the visit
Payments from Stripe, Paddle, Polar or Lemon Squeezy are credited to the channel that earned them, last-touch or linear, on every plan. Databox can put Stripe revenue beside your traffic, but the two share no visit to join them on.
A free plan a team can use
Our Free plan has unlimited team members and dashboards, with the API and MCP included. Databox Free is one user, one dashboard and three data sources, with no API or MCP.
Side by side.
We leave prices out because Databox can change theirs at any time. Ours are on the pricing page.

Connect your payments
Stripe, Paddle, Polar or Lemon Squeezy in Settings. Each sale is credited to the channel that brought the buyer in.
FAQ
Switching from Databox.
What people ask before they switch.
Databox connects 130+ tools. Why use Spreelytics?
A connector can only show what the source measured, at the detail and on the schedule the source allows. If your board is mostly CRM, ads and finance, Databox is the better fit.
If the question is which channel brings in paying customers, you need data about the visits themselves, joined to each payment. That is what we collect.
Can Spreelytics replace Databox?
For web analytics, product analytics and revenue by channel, yes. For one screen across ads, CRM and finance, no: we connect payment providers and Search Console only. Keep Databox for those.
Do both work with AI agents?
Both have an MCP server. Ours is on every plan, Free included, and can build goals, funnels, reports and dashboards. Databox’s is on paid plans, and reads metrics, builds datasets and pushes data in.
Databox’s AI analyst, Genie, runs on credits on every plan. Our in-app assistant comes with Growth.
