Metric AI review
A paid BI and planning platform for agencies that need operational and KPI visibility.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Metric AI is a professional services automation and business intelligence platform for agencies and other service businesses. It brings budgeting, forecasting, resource planning, time tracking, invoicing, dashboards, reports, integrations, and KPI tracking into one system. Teams can monitor utilization, revenue, costs, profit margin, and capacity through customizable dashboards with cards, charts, tables, filters, and date ranges. The product is most suitable for SMBs that want operational planning alongside business intelligence rather than a standalone reporting layer.
The pricing structure has three tiers. Essential costs $29 per seat per month, billed monthly, and includes project and deal budgets, custom reports and dashboards, resource planning, time tracking, integrations, and AI insights. Advanced costs $39 per seat per month and adds approval workflows, project templates, project-level permissions, targets and KPIs, and custom metrics. Enterprise adds tag-based permissions, multi-currency, revenue recognition, custom integrations, and 24/7 priority support. The published plans show a 14-day free trial and a 25-seat minimum, so the entry commitment matters for smaller teams.
Metric AI’s strongest fit is its combination of live KPI tracking and agency operations. Reports support hierarchical grouping, custom columns, and formulas, while users can create custom metric formulas and ask natural-language questions to generate dashboards and visualizations. Integrations span CRM, project management, time tracking, accounting, and HR tools, including HubSpot, Salesforce, JIRA, Asana, QuickBooks, Xero, and Rippling. Web and API access support a connected workflow, and permissions can be applied by organization, project, department, or tag. Choose Metric AI when planning and performance reporting belong in the same system; teams seeking a free entry tier or a broader general-purpose BI focus should look elsewhere.
