Nov 17, 2025
If you use monday.com and need better reports or deeper analysis than what you get from the built-in reporting, you’ll likely consider one of these tools:
Screenful: a purpose-built, no-code analytics app that lives inside monday.com.
EazyBI: a powerful, multidimensional BI/reporting app with deep analysis features.
Power BI: Microsoft’s enterprise BI platform (very flexible and powerful, but requires connectors/ETL to bring monday.com data in).
Below, we compare them according to who is it for, what is the setup effort and what visualization & analysis capabilities they offer.

Quick summary
While each option has its pros and cons, here are the main differences in a nutshell:
Pick Screenful if you want fast, inside-monday, no-code charts and reports. It’s built for monday.com users and is quick to set up with hourly data sync. View on Monday Marketplace
Pick EazyBI if you want to learn about OLAP cubes and multidimensional analysis (calculated measures, time snapshots etc.). It’s an advanced analytics tool that imports and models monday.com data for deep reporting with daily data sync. View on Monday Marketplace
Pick Power BI if you need enterprise-grade BI, custom visuals, or to combine monday.com with many other enterprise sources, and your team can handle the ETL/connector work (or use a third-party connector). It’s the most flexible but requires more setup. View on Microsoft Marketplace
Target audience & typical users
Not every team approaches data the same way, and each of these tools aligns with a different level of technical expertise and analytical complexity. The following breakdown highlights which target audiences each tool is designed to support.
Screenful: product teams, delivery managers, and non-technical PMs who want instantly usable charts, dashboards, and reports inside monday.com. Minimal BI skills required.
EazyBI: analysts, power users, and teams that want multidimensional OLAP-style reporting (time-series snapshots, custom calculated metrics). Good for teams that want more analytical depth without building a full ETL/warehouse.
Power BI: BI teams, data engineers, and organizations that already standardize on Microsoft Power Platform. Ideal when you must join monday.com data with ERP, CRM, databases, etc.
Data integration and sync from monday.com API
Before choosing an analytics solution, it’s important to understand how your monday.com data will be synced, modeled, and refreshed. Each platform takes a distinct approach, ranging from effortless, in-app setup to more advanced ETL pipelines.
Screenful: installs as an app in the monday.com marketplace and syncs boards automatically once per hour. Designed to work inside the monday.com UI and comes with many predefined templates. Setup is usually a few clicks.
eazyBI: pulls monday.com data into eazyBI’s model via scheduled imports (it supports daily updates and incremental imports), You can import data from multiple data sources and have them synced once per day.
Power BI: monday.com doesn’t ship a built-in, first-party Power BI sync. Instead, you typically use a marketplace connector or a third-party ETL component, which adds flexibility but increases setup complexity.
Visualization & analytical capabilities
When evaluating analytics tools for monday.com, one of the most important factors is how your data can be visualized and analyzed. Each platform offers varying levels of depth, flexibility, and technical complexity, so choosing the right one depends on your reporting needs and team expertise.
Screenful
Library of 15 chart types (bar, stacked bar, line, pie, burndown, etc.) and a no-code report builder. Great for standard project KPIs and team dashboards.
Best for quickly visualizing metrics across boards from any column in your monday.com board.
EazyBI
Multidimensional cubes, calculated measures (MDX-like), time-series snapshots, and custom dashboards. Excellent for deeper analytics, but requires learning a special query language.
Power BI
Most flexible visualization engine (custom visuals, DAX calculations, model relationships). If you can model the data well, you can build any report. It’s the highest ceiling, but it requires BI skills on your team.
Automation, sharing & embedding
Sharing insights works differently across these tools. Screenful lives inside monday.com and lets teams view dashboards directly, with optional sharing via links, email, or Slack. EazyBI supports scheduled exports and embedded dashboards for easy access and automated reporting. Power BI offers enterprise-level distribution with workspaces, apps, and row-level security, but recipients need a Power BI license to view content.
Screenful: deeply integrated into monday.com. Reports can live inside the app and be visible to teams without sending external links. Alternatively, reports can be shared with a link or scheduled to be sent via email or Slack.
EazyBI: dashboards and scheduled exports; can embed or link into monday.com dashboards. Good scheduling and report distribution features.
Power BI: enterprise-level distribution (Power BI Service workspaces, apps, scheduled refresh, row-level security). Great for org-wide distribution, but consumers need Power BI access/licenses to view shared content.
Setup effort & maintenance
The effort required to get up and running varies across platforms. Screenful is quick to install and configure, with minimal ongoing maintenance. It's ideal for teams who want fast results. eazyBI requires moderate setup to design data models and calculated measures, but provides flexible reporting once configured. Power BI demands the most effort, involving ETL, data modeling, and refresh management.
Screenful: low effort. Install app, import boards, pick templates — minimal ongoing maintenance. Good for teams that want outcomes quickly.
eazyBI: moderate effort. You’ll design the import model and possibly create calculated measures; once set up, scheduled imports keep data fresh. Ideal when you need analytical correctness and historical snapshots.
Power BI: higher effort. You need to manage connectors/ETL, data model, refresh policies, and potentially gateway infrastructure (for on-prem sources). But you gain full control and scale.
Pricing and plans
Pricing varies between these tools. Screenful is a cost-effective, specialized app with tiered plans listed in the marketplace. EazyBI is subscription-based, typically mid-range, and varies based on deployment and usage. Power BI offers a free Desktop for report creation, while Pro or Premium licenses are required for sharing and large-scale deployments, with total costs also influenced by any third-party connectors used.
Screenful: generally cost-effective for team-level dashboards. The Screenful pricing page shows the tiered plans. Plans start from $39 /month for unlimited users.
EazyBI: subscription-based with a free trial. Unlike Screenful, EazyBI pricing depends on the number of users in the Monday instance. Typically mid-range, depending on the number of users on your monday instance.
Power BI: Power BI Desktop is free for report development; Power BI Pro/Premium are licensed for sharing and large workloads. Total cost depends on the licensing model and any third-party ETL connector fees
