Connect NetSuite to Looker Studio

Yes. Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio) is free for unlimited dashboards and viewers. The pricing comes from data source connectors and underlying storage. With Acterys, NetSuite data lands in BigQuery (with a free tier) and Looker Studio connects natively.

There is no native NetSuite connector for Looker Studio. The standard pattern is to land NetSuite data in BigQuery first, then connect Looker Studio to BigQuery. Acterys handles the NetSuite-to-BigQuery sync via SuiteQL.

No. Acterys uses native SuiteQL via REST APIs to extract NetSuite data into BigQuery. SuiteAnalytics Connect ($499/month) is only required for ODBC-based connectors that Looker Studio does not use anyway.

Looker Studio is the free Google dashboarding tool (formerly Data Studio). Looker is Google's enterprise BI platform with semantic modeling (LookML), governance, and embedded analytics, priced separately. Both connect to BigQuery, so the NetSuite data flow via Acterys is the same.

Acterys syncs NetSuite to BigQuery as often as every 15 minutes. Looker Studio queries BigQuery on demand, so dashboards reflect the most recent sync. For real-time, set Acterys to 15-minute incremental and Looker Studio to live mode.
