How To Get Started?
First Sign Up to a Plan
Create a Google Account if You Don't Have One
If you are not signed into a Google account in the browser you are using when you click the Try button, you will be carried to the Looker Studio Overview page.
When you click the USE IT FOR FREE button, you will be presented with Sign in with Google screen. Sign in with a Google Account or click Create account to the bottom of the page to continue to Looker Studio.
Choose a Google Account to Sign-Up
Sign up and access to the connector is based on the Google Account used. Make sure you are signed in to the Google account you want to use in the same browser before you click try.
For users that use many Google Accounts in chrome however, it can be tricky to select the account you want to use, if it is not the default account. This is because the current behaviour of Looker Studio sends the user to the home screen when they attempt to change their account from the default, using the Google Account selector to the top right. The easiest way around this is to make sure to set up a Profile in Chrome for the Google Account you want to use, and switch to that Profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to enter a payment method to try the SQR Looker Studio Connector?
No, no payment method is needed to try the SQR Looker Studio Connector.
What is the difference between Google Data Studio and Looker Studio?
There is no difference! Google Data Studio is now Looker Studio!
In December 2022, Google renamed “Google Data Studio” to “Looker Studio”. This was done to unify all their business intelligence tools under the Looker brand. So, Looker Studio is essentially the updated and improved version of what was previously known as Data Studio.
Can I use the free Solo plan after the trial period?
Yes. After the initial 14 day trial period of the plan, if there is no payment method, payment will fail and the plan will be automatically canceled. However, if you remove paid connectors from the plan, it will be made active. You can then use Early Access connectors until their status changes.
Are there any restrictions on the number of different connectors I can use on the Solo plan?
No there are not. Add as many different connectors as you need. However, after a particular point, it would make more sense cost wise to upgrade to a higher plan. That point would vary depending on the combination of connectors.
Which Plans can I use Eearly Access connectors with?
Early Access connectors can be used with any plan.
