DashThis: dashboards, source limits and agency reporting

Price both limits

Count each dashboard you need and each unique source used by those dashboards. The first limit you reach can determine your plan.

DashThis lists Individual at $54 monthly or $44 per month paid yearly, for three dashboards and fifteen sources. Professional is $164 monthly or $139 per month paid yearly, for ten dashboards and forty sources.

For example, ten dashboards using forty unique sources fit those Professional allowances. An eleventh dashboard exceeds the dashboard allowance, even if the source count stays unchanged. Check the next plan and the features your reports require before budgeting.

DashThis counts a source added to a dashboard even without a widget. Reusing that source in several dashboards counts once. At the source limit, you must remove sources or upgrade before adding another.

Keep a portfolio inventory next to the quote. A client may need more than one dashboard, while a shared source may appear in several. Revisit the count when a client adds a new account or asks for a separate view.

Protect history before changing connections

Plan a connection change before removing the old source. The sequence matters when a client changes account ownership.

DashThis explains source replacement: widgets cannot directly switch sources, and deleting the old source before rebuilding can permanently lose associated data. A clone with a replacement source omits comment boxes and static widgets. The custom color theme is also omitted. Support can help with former-colleague connections or replacements across multiple dashboards.

DashThis Search Console guidance gives new widgets a sixteen-month historical window. It says history is stored from widget creation for later access beyond that window. Preserve the widget and source, and compare the numbers before making a change.

DashThis LinkedIn guidance says its follower widget starts storing history when created. Deleting that widget retains history for the source if the widget is recreated. Repost totals also differ by dimension, so record the definition alongside the report.

Check what reporting access includes

Match the information a client or assistant needs to the dashboard itself. A dashboard view can have a narrower scope than the source platform.

DashThis MCP limitations say the connector reads widget values and comments within dashboards. Exact-date queries reach back two years and do not read beyond yesterday; large widget tables may be shortened. Test a long table and the reporting period you need before relying on an automated summary.

For a trial, reproduce a report with the same dates and definitions as the source platform. Check the client view and a broken connection, then record what you would need to rebuild if you left.

Ask the person responsible for each client account to confirm access during the trial. Record who can reconnect a source after a staff change. That gives the team a practical recovery plan before a recurring report depends on the connection.

How to compare the alternatives

Choose the delivery format first, then price the units that grow with your clients. A workspace and a connector can solve different parts of the reporting job.

Compare AgencyAnalytics or Swydo if you want another client-reporting workspace. Use the agency reporting buying guide to compare their delivery and billing units against DashThis.

If your reports live in Sheets or Looker Studio, investigate Supermetrics or Funnel. The Supermetrics alternatives comparison covers other connectors and the limits to test.
