Bottom line
Klipfolio's Klips is a self-serve business dashboard and reporting tool. It connects to 130+ pre-built data sources plus SQL, REST and spreadsheet sources, then lets non-technical teams build, schedule and share live KPI dashboards with unlimited users on every plan.

Agencies and consultants can white-label dashboards for clients.
Frequently asked questions
What does Klipfolio cost and how is it licensed?
Klips is sold as a tiered subscription priced by dashboard count, not by user: Base at $120/mo billed annually ($140 monthly) for 3 dashboards, Grow at $190/mo ($220) for 10, Team at $310/mo ($350) for 20 and Team+ at $600/mo ($690) for 40. All tiers include unlimited users, 130+ data integrations and data modelling with joins; higher tiers add faster refresh, published links, scheduled reports, SSO and custom onboarding. Add-ons include extra dashboards ($8/mo), custom domain ($90/mo), custom theme ($69/mo), white-label bundle ($299/mo), priority support ($63/mo) and a dedicated server ($699/mo).
How long does it take to get a first dashboard live?
Klipfolio offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required and states there are no hidden setup or onboarding fees in any plan, so teams can connect sources and build dashboards themselves within days rather than weeks. Custom onboarding, implementation services and training are available as paid professional services if you prefer guided delivery, and Team+ includes six hours of custom onboarding in the first three months. A realistic first-production-value window is roughly two weeks.
Can we share dashboards with clients or users outside our account?
Yes. Published Links, available from the Grow tier, let you share view-only dashboards as a public searchable URL, as a non-indexable link, or as a password-protected link. Scheduled Reports email PDF or image snapshots on a one-time or recurring basis. For agencies, a partner parent account can hold dashboards for many clients, and white-label, custom domain and custom theme add-ons remove Klipfolio branding from what clients see.
Which systems can Klips connect to?
Klipfolio advertises 130+ built-in connectors, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Sheets, Excel, Mailchimp, Shopify, Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero, Jira, Zendesk, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and DB2. Sources not on the list can usually be reached with the SQL and REST/URL connectors, and files can be pulled over FTP/SFTP or uploaded from spreadsheets. There is no requirement to have a data warehouse.
How does Klipfolio handle security and data protection?
Klipfolio states that data availability, confidentiality and integrity are safeguarded through multiple protections and that these are continuously monitored and improved, and it publishes a Data Processing Addendum for GDPR questions. Those claims live in the pricing FAQ and the linked trust material. Buyers with strict procurement requirements should request the current security documentation, audit reports and DPA directly, since certification details are not set out on the pages reviewed here.
Should we choose Klips or PowerMetrics?
Klipfolio positions Klips as a complete dashboard solution that automates data retrieval with flexible presentation and distribution, aimed at teams that want spreadsheet-like familiarity. PowerMetrics is described as a next-generation analytics platform for SMBs built on a centralised, metric-centric foundation for self-serve analytics, and it is sold separately. Choose Klips for dashboarding, client reporting and scheduled distribution; evaluate PowerMetrics if self-serve, metric-centric exploration is the priority.
