Looker Studio,[1] formerly Google Data Studio,[2][3][4][5] is an online tool for converting data into customizable informative reports and dashboards introduced by Google on March 15, 2016[6] as part of the enterprise Google Analytics 360 suite. In May 2016, Google announced[7] a free version of Data Studio for individuals and small teams.

Looker Studio is part of the Google Marketing Platform.

Rebrand from Google Data Studio

Google announced the rebrand of Google Data Studio to Looker Studio in October 2022[1].

Google had previously announced its acquisition of Looker, then an independent analytics startup, in June 2019[8]. The acquisition was completed in February 2020.[9].

Initially, Google Data Studio and Looker operated as separate products within Google. Google Data Studio's offering was simple, low-cost, and provided an easy way to connect data sources and create dashboards, while Looker offered a more enterprise-focused solution with robust support for transformations and permissions.[10]

In October of 2022, Google announced at its Cloud Next conference that Google Data Studio would rebrand as Looker Studio. This name change was also accompanied by more integrated functionality. Google added the ability to support Looker models to Looker Studio. Google also launched a new tier offering, Looker Studio Pro, with enhanced features for enterprise team collaboration and management.[11]

Plan offerings

Google continues to offer both Looker Studio and Looker Studio Pro plans. Looker Studio is available for free, while Looker Studio Pro requires upgrade to a paid plan. [12]
