Questions

Is TrafficClaw a Looker Studio replacement?

For Google Analytics 4 and Search Console reporting, often yes. If you rely on other data sources or calculated fields, keep Looker Studio for those and use TrafficClaw for the all-sites view. Many people use both.

Can I still build my own dashboards?

Yes. The dashboard builder has 24 templates, scorecards, charts, tables and a map. Dashboards can be shared by a read-only link with an optional password or end date, embedded in an iframe, exported as PDF and CSV, and shown in TV mode.

Is Looker Studio the same as Data Studio?

Yes. Google has renamed Looker Studio back to Data Studio, and its documentation now uses that name. This page says Looker Studio because that is what most people still search for.

Will my numbers match Looker Studio?

Both read Google's own APIs, so they should be close. Small gaps usually come from the date range, a partial current day, and Search Console data arriving about two days late.

Does it cost anything?

No. Every feature is free for every site you own. The only paid thing is extra Ask messages in the built-in AI chat.
