About Google Data Studio
Google Data Studio was rebranded to Looker Studio in 2022. It is a free web-based data visualization and reporting platform that connects to Google products (Analytics, Ads, BigQuery, Sheets, Search Console) and third-party sources via partner connectors. Users build interactive dashboards with drag-and-drop. Looker Studio Pro adds team workspaces, enterprise governance, scheduled report delivery, and dedicated support at $9/user/month. It is distinct from the enterprise Looker platform, which is priced separately at $60,000+/year.
