How long does it take to set up Xplainr?

Most teams are up and running in under 5 minutes. Simply connect your marketing channels using OAuth (no API keys needed), and you'll see your first AI-generated insight immediately. There's no complex configuration or data mapping required.

Absolutely. We use bank-level 256-bit AES encryption for all data in transit and at rest. We never store your raw marketing data, only the aggregated metrics needed to generate insights. Our platform is built with enterprise-grade security practices, and we never sell or share your data.

Which marketing platforms do you integrate with?

We currently support Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Search Console, Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram), and LinkedIn Ads. All integrations use secure OAuth authentication, so you never have to share passwords or API keys.

Can I try Xplainr before committing?

Yes! Start with our Free tier to connect one domain and get 5 AI insights per month, no credit card required.

What if Xplainr doesn't work for me?

No problem - all paid plans come with a 14-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime with one click. If you're not seeing value within the first two weeks, you won't be charged. We're confident you'll see ROI, but there's zero risk to try.

How is Xplainr different from Google Analytics or Looker Studio?

Those tools show charts and expect you to figure them out. Xplainr tells you what happened in plain English, explains why it happened, and recommends what to do next. Instead of building dashboards and manually hunting for patterns, you get AI-generated insights that explain anomalies, identify opportunities, and prioritize your daily actions.

Can my whole marketing team use Xplainr?

Yes! Starter plans include 3 team members, Pro plans include 10, and Enterprise plans have unlimited seats. Team members can share domains, assign action items from insights, and collaborate on priorities - all with role-based permissions.

Do I need technical skills to use Xplainr?

Not at all. Xplainr is built for marketing managers, not data scientists. You can ask Aria (our AI assistant) questions in plain English like 'Why did my conversion rate drop yesterday?' and get clear, actionable answers without writing any queries.

Agency Reporting Tool Comparison

TL;DR: For agencies that want reporting to be a competitive advantage - catching issues proactively, delivering AI recommendations, and scaling without headcount - Xplainr is the clear leader.

Agency reporting has evolved beyond pretty charts. The agencies winning clients deliver proactive insights - not just data recaps. The best tools combine automated data collection, AI analysis, and client-ready presentation.

Why This Matters

Traditional agency reporting tools are template-based data displays. They don't monitor client accounts proactively, don't generate insights, and don't scale efficiently as client count grows.

Key Capabilities

AI Reports + Monitoring (Xplainr)

AI-generated narratives, 24/7 anomaly monitoring across all clients, and 20-minute client onboarding.

Comprehensive Templates (AgencyAnalytics)

Extensive widget library and white-label options, but no AI insights or proactive monitoring.

Simple Reporting (DashThis)

Easy-to-use templates ideal for small agencies, but limited customization and no AI.

Visual Reports (Whatagraph)

Beautiful visual templates with good white-labeling, but lacks AI capabilities.
