From pain to solution
Built for agencies teams. Problems Swydo users know. Fixes you can run.
Teams evaluating Swydo usually hit the same walls. Data refreshes on a scheduled sync (typically hourly; near-real-time where connectors allow). Here is how Alpomi runs the Playbook to Action Board workflow for agencies on synced data.
Winning pitches is easy. Finding billable hours after the tenth client login is not.
Account switching is the job
Ten clients × three platforms. AMs log in, export, log out. Review time shrinks every time you add a retainer.
Multi-client Workspace lets you switch context in one Growth OS. Portfolio spend, ROAS, and pacing without the morning tab marathon.
Deck season never ends
Monthly reports are hours you cannot bill: screenshots, chart rebuilds, commentary that ages before the client opens the PDF.
Branded exports from live synced data. Playbook commentary per client with evidence. Review and send, not rebuild from scratch.
New retainers, same spreadsheet tax
Each client adds another Sheet, another stand-up format, another 'can you pull last month's Meta?'
Templates per vertical, role-based access per client, proposed tasks on the Action Board. Human-in-the-loop on every account. No autopilot changes.
Plan vs actual
The plan lives in a spreadsheet. The work lives in Alpomi.
Decks and Sheets set the direction—Workspace, Playbook, and the Action Board are where work actually happens.
The plan (spreadsheets & docs)
- Monthly client decks rebuilt from platform screenshots
- AMs log in, export, log out. All morning, every morning
- Strategy scattered across email threads and shared drives
What your team runs (Workspace + Action Board)
- Multi-client Workspace with portfolio context in one Growth OS

Alpomi Growth OS vs dashboard-only tools

What is Swydo?
Swydo is a reporting and dashboard automation platform founded in the Netherlands and designed primarily for marketing agencies and in-house PPC teams. It focuses on building automated, client-ready reports and dashboards from ad channels like Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads, and TikTok. Swydo's core value is reducing the time agencies spend on manual report building through pre-built templates, scheduled PDF or HTML report delivery, and basic white-label branding. Pricing is based on the number of data source connections, with the base plan covering up to 5 source connections at around $49/month and scaling linearly from there. Swydo is used primarily by small-to-mid agencies that deliver regular performance reports to clients and want to automate that workflow without paying for a more complex analytics platform.
Where Swydo excels
A fair read on where Swydo still wins.
Fast setup for agency PPC reporting
Swydo is genuinely quick to set up for standard agency PPC reporting. Agencies can build and schedule a client-facing report in approximately 15 minutes using pre-built templates for Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn. For agencies onboarding new clients on a tight timeline, this speed is a real advantage over more complex platforms.
Clean, client-friendly scheduled report delivery
Swydo reports are designed to be client-presentable out of the box, with white-label branding and easy customisation. Agencies can schedule recurring PDF or HTML reports to be delivered automatically to clients by email, reducing the manual effort of weekly or monthly reporting. For agencies where the primary client deliverable is a clean performance summary, Swydo does this well.
Multi-channel aggregation with cross-platform widgets
Swydo allows agencies to blend data from up to 5 ad platforms — Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads, TikTok — into a single widget in a report. This multi-source blending in one view is a practical feature for agencies reporting on multi-channel campaigns without needing to build separate charts per channel.
Unlimited users and clients on all plans
One of Swydo's genuine strengths is that all plans include unlimited users and unlimited clients — there are no per-seat charges. For agencies with large teams or many client accounts, this means the cost model is predictable based on data source volume rather than headcount. This is a meaningful advantage over tools that charge per user or per client workspace.
Where teams outgrow Swydo
The pain points that push teams to look for a Swydo alternative.
Reporting-first, not decision-first
Swydo is designed primarily as a reporting automation platform — the core product centres around automated dashboards, PDF reports, templates, and scheduled reporting for clients. Agencies still need to interpret the data and decide what to optimise. After Swydo generates the report, the account manager still manually reviews it, identifies issues, and decides what to change. Alpomi adds Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs so teams see proposed next steps alongside metrics — reducing the gap between reporting and action.
Limited predictive or optimisation capabilities
Swydo focuses on aggregating and presenting historical channel metrics. Its feature set emphasises dashboards, templates, and automation rather than forecasting, anomaly detection, or budget reallocation guidance. There is no alerting when campaigns underperform and no AI insight layer. As performance teams scale, they need forward-looking signals, not just historical summaries. Alpomi is built to support optimisation decisions alongside reporting.
Scaling costs as data source connections increase
Swydo pricing scales linearly with data source connections, which makes cost growth unpredictable as an agency grows. The base plan covers up to 5 connections at ~$49/month, with each additional connection costing approximately $3.50–$4.50/month. An agency with 20 clients tracked across 3 platforms (Google Ads, Meta, GA4) needs 60 connections — costing around $294/month. At 100 connections the cost approaches $400–$500/month. As an agency adds clients, its Swydo bill grows automatically. Alpomi uses flat tier-based pricing defined by tier rather than connection count, so the Agency tier covers a defined scope without per-connection billing.
No native cross-team business intelligence layer
Swydo is designed for marketing reporting, not broader business intelligence. It does not position itself as a cross-department platform integrating sales pipeline, operational forecasting, or management KPIs — reports are built for client-facing delivery rather than internal strategic decision-making. For teams needing shared visibility between marketing, leadership, and operations, Alpomi provides a broader intelligence foundation that goes beyond channel-level ad performance.
No anomaly detection, AI insights, or proactive alerting
Swydo has no native alerting, anomaly detection, or Playbook layer. The platform does not notify you when campaign performance drops, spend spikes unexpectedly, or a connector fails to sync — you only discover issues when you open a report or a client complains. For agencies running active campaigns for multiple clients, a missed budget error or underperforming campaign that goes unnoticed for a week can cost a client significantly. Alpomi is building toward proactive alerting and Playbook-led proposed tasks (Pro+) so your team can review issues—not autonomous campaign changes.
What users say about Swydo online
Feedback from G2, Trustpilot, Reddit, and independent reviews. Draw your own conclusions.
“When I first signed up for Swydo, the advertised price was $49 a month. My costs unexpectedly jumped to $364 without any prior warning... they don't tell you when you go above your current plan until you are billed. When my plan moved from $49 to $329 and then to $364, there were no notifications, messages, emails, pop-ups, etc.”
Swydo's per-data-source billing model — not per connection — means costs can jump dramatically without warning as you add clients and platforms.
Agency owner (Opdee)Opdee (agency owner review)·2025“Despite trying to cancel just one day into a new billing period, Swydo refused to cycle the next month's billing cycle, saying they bill in arrears and said I will now have to pay the same amount for the next month.”
Swydo cancellation complaints are notable — agencies report being charged for full extra billing cycles even after requesting to cancel.
Agency owner (Opdee)Opdee (agency owner review)·2025“During the cancellation process, Swydo offered to waive the next bill if I agreed to leave a "nice" review on Capterra for them. This felt manipulative and added to my frustration.”
This account raises questions about the authenticity of some Swydo positive reviews — context worth knowing when evaluating Swydo review site scores.
Agency owner (Opdee)Opdee (agency owner review)·2025Pricing philosophy: Alpomi vs Swydo
How each platform prices and what that means as you scale.
Swydo pricing
Swydo uses a per-data-source-connection pricing model. The base plan starts at ~$49/month and covers up to 5 source connections. Additional connections cost approximately $3.50–$4.50/month each for connections 6–100, and less above that. All plans include unlimited users and unlimited clients, which is a genuine advantage. However, the per-connection model means costs scale linearly with your client base: a small agency with 20 clients across 3 platforms (60 connections) pays around $294/month. A mid-size agency with 60 data connections approaches $350–$400/month. There is no permanent free tier, only a trial period. Some users report unexpected billing when data source limits are hit without clear advance warnings.
Alpomi pricing
Alpomi uses flat tier-based pricing: Free (permanent free tier to start with no credit card), Starter (from £100/mo), Pro (from £300/mo or 5% of ad spend), and Agency/Enterprise. Tiers are defined by integrations, users, and features — not by the number of individual data source connections. Growing your client base does not linearly increase your Alpomi bill. The Agency tier is designed specifically for agencies managing multiple clients, with multi-client dashboards, white-label reporting, and role-based permissions.

How to switch from Swydo to Alpomi
Switching from Swydo to Alpomi represents a shift in workflow model — from scheduled static PDF delivery to live dashboards with Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs. This change often reduces the time agencies spend manually interpreting reports before each client call, because proposed tasks are already surfaced. Most teams complete the initial setup in under a day, and clients typically respond positively to having live access to their own data rather than waiting for a scheduled report.
- 1
Connect your ad channels
In Alpomi's Integrations panel, connect Google Ads and Meta Ads via OAuth. Data refreshes on a scheduled sync (typically hourly; near-real-time where connectors allow). Each connection takes under two minutes.
- 2
Add Shopify for e-commerce clients (Pro+)
For clients running Shopify stores, connect via the Shopify App Store or API key. Alpomi surfaces product-level profitability alongside ad spend when Shopify connectors are active.
- 3
Set up client workspaces
On the Agency tier, create separate workspaces for each client. Configure white-label branding so clients see your agency's brand rather than Alpomi's.
- 4
Share live dashboards instead of static reports
Alpomi dashboards are live and shareable via link. Clients can view their own performance in real time, reducing the need for scheduled static report deliveries.
- 5
Wind down Swydo at renewal
Once your client dashboards are set up and your team is comfortable with the Alpomi workflow, cancel Swydo at your next billing date. Any historical PDFs from Swydo can be archived and retained separately.

Is Alpomi a good Swydo alternative for agencies?
Yes. If you use Swydo primarily for automated reports but want Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs, unified Shopify + ads data, and proposed next steps, Alpomi is a strong alternative. It combines reporting with tasks your team approves—not just PDF delivery.
What is the difference between Swydo and Alpomi?
Swydo focuses on automated client reporting and dashboards. Alpomi focuses on a unified ads + Shopify dashboard with Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs. Swydo helps agencies deliver reports efficiently; Alpomi helps teams decide what to do next—with approval before anything runs.
Does Alpomi replace Swydo for client reporting?
Yes. Alpomi includes live dashboards, exports, and white-label capabilities (Agency tier). In addition, it provides built-in insights and recommendations, reducing the need to manually interpret reports before sending them to clients.
Does Alpomi have white-label reporting like Swydo?
Yes. Alpomi's Agency tier includes white-label branding so clients see your agency's identity rather than Alpomi's. You can create separate workspaces for each client with role-based access. Unlike Swydo, Alpomi dashboards are live and interactive rather than static PDF deliveries.
How does Alpomi pricing compare to Swydo?
Swydo pricing scales with the number of data sources and users, which can increase costs as you grow your client base. Alpomi uses flat tier-based pricing (Free, Starter from £100/mo, Pro from £300/mo, Agency/Enterprise) where each tier includes a defined set of integrations and users. Growing your agency does not linearly increase your Alpomi cost.
Can Alpomi help my agency move from reporting to performance optimisation?
Yes. This is one of the core reasons agencies switch from Swydo to Alpomi. Swydo automates the report delivery workflow. Alpomi goes further with Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs on budget, creative, and channel mix—so your team spends less time building reports and more time on work clients approve.
Is Swydo good for e-commerce brands?
Swydo is not designed for e-commerce use cases. It is primarily a PPC and paid social reporting tool for agencies, and it has no native Shopify integration, no product-level profitability view, and no e-commerce revenue dashboard. If you run a Shopify store and want to see how your ad spend translates to product revenue, Swydo cannot provide that natively. For e-commerce brands that need unified Shopify + Google Ads + Meta data with product-level ROAS and profitability, Alpomi is a significantly more suitable alternative on Pro+.
Swydo vs AgencyAnalytics — which is better for agency reporting?
Both Swydo and AgencyAnalytics are agency reporting tools, but they differ in focus. AgencyAnalytics is a broader platform offering dashboards, rank tracking (SEO), and a wider range of integrations including GA4 and social media platforms, with pricing typically starting at around $12–$19/month per client. Swydo is more focused on PPC ad reporting and scheduled PDF delivery, with a per-data-source pricing model. AgencyAnalytics tends to work better for agencies that combine SEO and paid media reporting; Swydo tends to work better for pure PPC reporting with simple scheduled delivery. Alpomi is a different category: a Growth OS with unified ad + Shopify data and Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs. If your agency needs to move beyond presenting data to proposed tasks clients can approve, Alpomi is a more forward-looking choice than either Swydo or AgencyAnalytics.
Which is better for agencies: Swydo or Alpomi?
It depends on what stage your agency is at. If your primary need is automated PDF report delivery to clients with minimal setup, Swydo is a practical and relatively affordable tool, especially at small scale. If your agency has grown to a point where you need to deliver more value than a weekly report — through Playbook and proposed tasks on the Action Board (Pro+)—your team approves before anything runs, e-commerce profitability insights, and proposed tasks on the Action Board — Alpomi is the stronger platform. Alpomi's Agency tier includes multi-client dashboards, white-label reporting, Shopify integration, and flat tier pricing that does not scale per connection. For agencies wanting to differentiate on performance rather than just reporting, Alpomi is built for that next stage.
