What is Databox?
Databox is a business analytics platform that brings performance data from marketing, sales and finance tools into dashboards, reports and goal tracking. It connects to sources like HubSpot, Google Analytics 4 and Facebook Ads, then lets teams monitor key metrics in one place. Its AI analyst, called Genie, answers plain-language questions about the data and explains how it reached each answer.
Databox targets agencies, growing businesses and consultants who want reporting without a data team. It offers a free forever plan, fixed user limits instead of per-seat pricing, and an Agency plan built around client accounts. Newer features include agents that handle recurring analysis, an MCP server for AI tools, and a metrics layer that keeps definitions consistent.

Databox FAQ
Is Databox free?
Yes. Databox has a free forever plan with 1 user, 3 data sources, 1 dashboard, 10 custom metrics, daily sync and 50 AI credits per month for Genie. It does not include sharing, CSV export, API access or custom integrations. You can also trial any paid plan for 14 days without a credit card.
What is Databox used for?
Databox is used to track business performance in one place. Teams connect marketing, sales and finance tools, build dashboards, set goals and get alerts when metrics change. Its AI analyst answers questions about the data in plain language. Agencies use it to report on many clients, while small businesses use it to monitor company KPIs.
Databox vs Looker Studio: what's the difference?
Looker Studio, now called Data Studio, is a free Google reporting tool that is strongest with Google data sources and gives you a flexible canvas. Databox is a freemium platform focused on KPI tracking, goals, alerts and an AI analyst, with many non-Google integrations like HubSpot. Databox is more guided, while Google's tool offers more design freedom.
Does Databox integrate with HubSpot?
Yes. HubSpot is among Databox's most popular integrations, with separate connectors for HubSpot Marketing, HubSpot CRM, HubSpot Service and HubSpot Custom Objects. This makes Databox a common choice for teams that want more flexible dashboards and goal tracking than HubSpot's built-in reports provide.
Does Databox have a mobile app?
Databox offers a downloadable app so you can check dashboards and metrics away from your desk. The website links to an app download, which makes it handy for founders and managers who want quick KPI checks on their phone. Most dashboard building and setup work is still done in the web app.
