Klips vs PowerMetrics — Which One?
Klipfolio offers two distinct products. Klips is the original dashboard builder — spreadsheet-familiar, highly customizable, and used by thousands of teams to build automated KPI dashboards. PowerMetrics is the newer platform: a metric-centric BI tool with AI natural language queries, a shared metric catalog, and self-serve analytics for business users.
For most new users, Klipfolio recommends PowerMetrics as the starting point.
