Google Data Studio, called Looker Studio until April 2026, is a browser-based tool for reports and interactive dashboards. It connects to sources such as Google Sheets, Analytics and databases. The no-cost edition supports shared reporting, while Data Studio Pro adds organisation-owned content and team management. It remains a separate product from the Looker enterprise platform; connectors and underlying data queries can carry their own charges.
