Choosing the Right Google Data Studio Connector

Compatibility

No one data studio connector connects to all of your reporting services. Consider choosing a connector which can handle all your needs to keep things simple!

Cost

Connectors range from always free (typically from Google’s connector list) to paid, although usually fairly inexpensive. Factors such as the number of connections you need and the services you want to connect to will affect pricing.

Data Warehousing

Some GDS connector services will connect you directly to the API of choice (facebook, google, etc.) while others will actually warehouse your data for you. There are pros and cons to both.
