Questions to ask Databox before you sign

- Where is our data stored, and can we choose the region?
- Can we sign your standard DPA without changes?
- What will the price be at renewal, and is the increase capped?
Questions are listed where Databox's public pages leave the answer open.
Who Databox is for
Choose Databox if
- Small teams and agencies that want KPI dashboards from SaaS data sources without a data team.
- Solo analysts starting on the free plan (1 user, 3 data sources)
Look elsewhere if
- Companies needing SSO on a base plan (it is a $40/mo add-on)
- Teams wanting per-seat scaling: plans cap users (1, 3, 10) or data sources.

What most Databox reviews leave out
- SSO is not in any base plan; it is part of an 'Advanced security management' add-on at $40/mo that also covers 2FA.
- Pricing page and FAQ show different monthly prices for Team Core, Team Scale and Agency, so confirm at checkout.
- Pricing is capped by users and data sources, not seats: Team Scale tops out at 10 users and 30 sources.
- If no payment details are added at the end of the 14-day trial, data syncing stops and scheduled reports pause.
