Best fit
Who each tool is for
Bricks
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants delivering executive reporting from uploaded datasets.
Why pick it: Upload a spreadsheet, get a polished dashboard in minutes. The AI generates narrative commentary alongside charts — ready for a client deck, not just data.
Watch for: No live data connections. If you need dashboards that refresh automatically from live sources, use Looker Studio or Databox instead.
Clockify
Strong ChoiceBest for: Solo consultants and small teams (up to 5) who want free time tracking — or anyone who'll pay from $3.99/user/mo for billable hours and exports.
Why pick it: A free tier for micro-teams and a low $3.99/user/mo entry make it easy to adopt. The interface is simple enough that people who usually resist timesheets actually stick with it.
Watch for: If your team is larger than 5, the free tier no longer covers you, and billable-hour tracking now needs a paid plan. If you want billing baked into your project tool, an integrated tracker may fit better.
