Looker Studio is great for building static reports on Google data by hand. VedaX lets you ask questions in plain English and get live dashboards across Google Sheets, databases, Shopify, and more.
Looker Studio gives you a canvas to assemble charts by hand — great for a recurring report, but every new question is more manual layout work. VedaX flips that: you ask a question in plain English and the chart is built for you, so getting an answer doesn't mean redesigning a report.
Looker Studio is strongest on Google-native data, and blending other sources can get fiddly. VedaX connects Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Shopify and the marketplaces directly, so your whole business sits in one place instead of being stitched together per report.
VedaX isn't only a place to lay out charts. Ask a follow-up, drill into a number, and see the SQL behind any answer. It behaves like an analyst that works at your pace rather than a static report you refresh.
VedaX is a managed cloud platform — no infrastructure to run. Your data stays isolated per tenant, with row-level security so each person sees only the rows they are allowed to see. Self-hosting is not available today.

Is VedaX free like Looker Studio? Looker Studio is free. VedaX has a free tier and a 30-day trial, then paid cloud plans that add managed AI, scheduled reports and automatic refresh.

Do I still build charts by hand? No. You ask in plain English and VedaX builds the chart. You can still customize results and pin them to dashboards.
Can I keep my data on my own servers? Not today — VedaX runs as managed cloud. Your data stays isolated per tenant, with row-level security so each person sees only the rows they are allowed to see. Self-hosting is not available today.
