Just signed up to try it out. Everything was easy and straightforward.

This would be wonderful if all I wanted were basic metrics. However, I'm mostly interested in specific metrics, for specific segments of visitors, and for specific time periods. Additionally, this changes with every project (I manage multiple GA accounts).

I know I can set up custom email reports in GA, but it's a tedious-enough task that I'd pay for a simpler solution.

Google Analytics already let's you schedule emails (PDFs) of any report you want.

I like this is (or appears) to be html embedded in an email. PDFs are annoying.

Can I combine data from multiple profiles in one report? That would be huge for people like me with multiple products/domains.

How safe is it to allow apps like this access to my accounts?

shazow3• 12 years ago

As safe as any other API. The app will be able to read your analytics for all sites that your account has access to.

The app will be able to read it, so does that mean the operator of the app has access to everybody's analytics data?

Hey, this is cool! The screenshot looks very compelling, looking forward to getting a report. :)

I'm actually working on a competing product, https://briefmetrics.com/.

Feel free to give it a whirl, take inspiration, etc. If you have any questions or if I can be of any help, my email is in my profile (or reply in this thread).

Have you given any thought what kind of pricing you're going to go with? This is something I still struggle with on Briefmetrics.
