Back in 2019 I was still manually pulling Google Ads reports for every single client

I'd spend hours each Friday just copying data into spreadsheets for our 15 accounts. Then a client in Miami asked for a real-time dashboard and I finally switched to using Supermetrics with Google Data Studio. Now all the reports update automatically and I can actually look at the data instead of just moving it around. How do you guys handle reporting now without wanting to pull your hair out?

Wait, isn't Data Studio called Looker Studio now?

Honestly the name change is the least of its problems. The real issue is how SLOW it gets with big data sets, which defeats the whole point. Feels like they focused on branding over performance.

Yeah they changed the name a while back. Does it still have the same free tier for making reports, or did Google start charging for it after the switch? I remember it being pretty solid for pulling in data from different places.
