Lifted Work vs DashThis
DashThis is the most straightforward reporting tool in this category, and it does not punish you for adding people or integrations. What it does not do is hold the work the report is about.
In short: DashThis is the better choice if you want dashboards with the least possible setup and unlimited users and integrations on every plan. Lifted Work is better if you want that reporting to come out of the system where the client work already lives, instead of paying per dashboard beside it.

Why agencies choose Lifted Work over DashThis
DashThis prices by dashboard, and most agencies use one dashboard per client. Lifted Work prices by active client and includes the reporting, the portal and the delivery system in the same number. Comparing them is really comparing a reporting subscription against an operations one.
Reporting out of the work, not beside it
Lifted Work renders the report from the same place the tasks, hours and deliverables live, so it can describe what the team did as well as what the numbers say. DashThis reports on connected sources only.
One subscription covering more ground
At roughly one dashboard per client, 15 clients puts you on DashThis Business at $279 a month for reporting alone. Lifted Work Delivery is $105 a month at 15 clients and includes the portal, tasks, time tracking and reporting.
A portal, not just a dashboard link
Clients get a branded place to submit requests, approve deliverables and see work land in a feed. A shared dashboard shows results without giving the client anywhere to act.
The delivery system included
Tasks, SOPs, capacity planning and approvals are in the same tool. With DashThis you are still buying a project tool separately, and the two never see each other.
AI that reads the account, not just the chart
DashThis AI Insights summarizes a dashboard, with chat as a paid add-on. Lifted Work's AI has the client's brand note, task history, correspondence and analytics, and can draft the report, the email and next month's work.
Hours against budgets
Time tracked per task next to the campaign results, so the monthly review covers margin and not only performance. DashThis has no time tracking.

The honest part
Where DashThis is the better choice
No tool wins on everything. If these matter more to you than running client delivery in one place, DashThis is the right call.
Unlimited integrations on every plan
DashThis includes every integration it offers on the cheapest plan, and never charges by data source. Lifted Work connects five analytics and ads platforms natively. If your clients report across many more platforms than that, DashThis covers them and we do not.
Genuinely the simplest to set up
Dozens of preset dashboard templates and a short path from connecting an account to a finished report. Lifted Work asks you to build a report template first, which is more control and more work. If you want a client report this afternoon, DashThis is faster.
Data blending and calculated widgets
Combining spend across Google Ads and Meta Ads into one computed number is native to DashThis. Lifted Work renders each connected platform into your template without a blending layer on top.
Cheaper for a very small roster
At three clients, DashThis Individual is $44 a month. Lifted Work Core is $25 a month for five clients, so on reporting alone at small scale the two are close and DashThis is the more focused tool for the money.
What each one costs
Lifted Work starts at $5/client/month. Unlimited team members on every plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions agencies ask about DashThis
How does DashThis pricing compare for a 15-client agency?
DashThis prices by dashboard, and their own guidance is that agencies typically build one dashboard per client. Fifteen clients puts you past the 10-dashboard Professional plan at $139 a month and onto Business at $279 a month, for reporting alone. Lifted Work Delivery is $105 a month at 15 clients and covers reporting, the client portal, tasks, time tracking and correspondence. Prices checked 15 September 2026.
Does DashThis do anything Lifted Work cannot?
Yes, two things worth naming. It includes unlimited integrations on every plan, where Lifted Work connects five analytics and ads platforms natively, so DashThis covers a much wider range of sources. And it does data blending and calculated widgets, combining figures from different platforms into one computed metric, which Lifted Work does not do.
Is Lifted Work harder to set up?
For reporting alone, yes, initially. DashThis has preset dashboard templates you can point at an account and use immediately. Lifted Work asks you to set up a report template once per client, or have the AI build one from their actual data. That is more upfront work and more control, and after the first cycle it runs on a schedule without being touched.
Can we keep DashThis and still use Lifted Work?
Yes, and some agencies do exactly that during a transition, keeping DashThis dashboards for clients that need an always-on view while running delivery, requests and approvals in Lifted Work. Nothing in Lifted Work requires you to cancel a reporting tool to get value from the rest of it.
What does Lifted Work include that a dashboard tool cannot?
The work itself. Tasks and SOPs per client, time tracked against budgets, capacity planning across the team, client requests, deliverable approvals, Gmail-synced correspondence and a branded client portal. The report is one output of that system rather than a separate product you maintain alongside it.
