Google Analytics Email Reports as a Service?

Hi everyone,

with the every increasing number of projects - I am searching for a Google Analytics E-Mail Reporting
service. Google's own is not detailed enough and I don't like the file formats.

I'm looking for:

  • pure stats such as: # of daily visitor, duration, city name etc.
  • multiple website in one email
  • daily email report at a specific time

Is there a service out there? If not, would you use and pay for such a reporting tool?

Thanks in advance!

    If there is a service out there, they haven't marketed to me yet. I like the idea. I would probably need a free daily report to try it and then would upgrade to see more in-depth reports.

      Take a look at www.ga-insights.com. Would welcome any feedback.

    Hey @oemerax, I've tinkered with providing this service. I'll send you an email.

    EDIT: I've actually thought about providing a laterally related service, which is analysis of numbers (ie summarizing what they mean) as a service. I'm not exactly sure what you think Google's own email function is missing, aside from aesthetic loveliness.

    In terms of services that exist now, Databox may look better (I tested it a couple years ago and it was what I'd call "pretty enough"), and getting an emailed report just out of GA appears to sit in their free tier.

      Got your mail. Will respond in a few mins. Aestethics and simplicity is missing.

    I was using SunriseKPI for a while

      Why did you stop using it?

        They started charging and I moved on to a different project that I didnt need the stats emailed to me.

          What are you willing to pay? What are you using now?

    I understand your pain, however when you mention the report is not detailed enough as well as the mismatch format. It sounds subjective. But you can get into a better direction:

    1. On GA, you can add/drop filter view and also customize your own dashboard

    2. You can also connect Google Data Studio for more customization and link other data source in one place, such as social media data, e-commerce data

    3. You can also consider using tools like Supermetrics and translate data into spreadsheet and follow the old ways

    I hope it helps!

    Hey folks. I run this service as a business.
    You can check it out www.ga-insights.com.

    It markets heavily towards Slack and MsTeams, but we support Email too. Would welcome any feedback you have

      Wow Patrick. This is what I wanted and would design and code, if this wouldnt exist.

      Kudos to you.

        Thanks. Sorry if you were looking to build something like it - I hate it when you have an idea and see someone else got there first. That said, there are some competitors and i'm sure there is room for more.
        Will reply to your email!
