Best fit

Who each tool is for

Bricks

Strong Choice

Best 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.

Gumroad

Strong Choice

Best for: Consultants productizing their expertise into sellable templates, frameworks, and digital downloads.

Why pick it: No monthly fee removes the risk of launching a product — you only pay when you earn. Since 2025 Gumroad is also Merchant of Record, so it collects and remits sales tax, VAT, and GST for you. Setup takes minutes, not days.

Watch for: The all-in fee (~13%) compounds at volume. If you consistently sell more than $3–5K/month in digital products, a flat-fee platform like Teachable or Kajabi likely costs less.
