UpMetrics is the top social impact measurement and reporting platform, connecting organizations that fund impact (foundations and impact investors) and social good organizations (nonprofits and portfolio companies).
Unlike Power BI, UpMetrics was made with social impact reporting and measurement in mind. Learn more about how these two tools stack up and why to choose UpMetrics.

UpMetrics provides organizations with all the tools they need to measure their impact. Teams measuring impact can define key impact indicators (KIIs), build custom intake forms, and track submissions in real time. From there, you can centralize data, run visual analytics, and publish qualitative field stories.
Built for the unique challenges of philanthropy and impact investing, UpMetrics reveals fresh opportunities and highlights operational needs, turning routine evaluation into continuous iteration and improvement.
UpMetrics bridges the gap between organizations that fund impact and their social good partners, simplifying impact reporting and ensuring important information doesn’t slip through the cracks. Power BI, on the other hand, is built for sharing finished reports and doesn't facilitate easy information sharing.

When impact reporting doesn't require stitching together disparate sources of information, teams can spend more of their week using their data rather than assembling it. UpMetrics centralizes the most useful tools these organizations use to make decisions, from data collection to the creation of shareable report dashboards. As a purpose-built impact reporting platform, UpMetrics offers more impact-specific functionality in one place than Power BI’s generalized tools.
QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS
Capture the stories, photos, interviews, and testimonials behind your numbers, and make them as analyzable as any quantitative metric.
Structured coding, categories, and program associations let you organize qualitative data right in the platform, no exporting or spreadsheet cleanup required. From there it feeds straight into your dashboards, painting a complete, contextual picture of impact that numbers alone can't tell.

REAL-TIME ANALYTICS & DASHBOARDS
Turn complex impact data into a live, explorable view of performance.
Dashboards update automatically as new data comes in, giving you real-time visibility from individual program results to portfolio-wide trends. Filter by theme, geography, or time period, benchmark across programs, and drill down or roll up as needed. For teams that want to go further, you can write and run custom queries directly against your data for on-demand analysis, without leaving UpMetrics.
It's impact analysis that helps your team make decisions in the moment, not just at year-end.
REUSABLE, READY-TO-SHARE VISUALIZATIONS
Create charts once and reuse them across multiple dashboards — when data updates, every instance updates automatically.
Customize dashboards for different audiences, share via public links or embedded charts without exposing underlying data, and combine metrics with narratives to tell the complete impact story.
No reformatting, no version control. Just current, compelling data wherever your stakeholders need it.

ROBUST SECURITY & ADMIN TOOLS
Role and user-based permissions let program teams, analysts, and leadership self-serve the data they need while keeping sensitive information protected.
UpMetrics' SOC 2 Type 2 certification ensures our security practices are independently audited against enterprise-grade standards, so your organization and stakeholders can trust that sensitive data stays where it belongs.
Stop stitching together survey tools, spreadsheets, emails, and PDFs. UpMetrics centralizes all of your data into one system so you can see the full picture of your impact.
Advanced analytics tools let you set targets, track performance against them, and understand where your impact strategy is working and where it needs attention.
The best reporting cycles don't just produce data, they improve what you do next. UpMetrics helps your team surface trends, flag gaps, and turn every cycle into an opportunity to improve strategy and outcomes.
Reporting shouldn't feel like an audit. UpMetrics creates a shared experience where data flows both ways, feedback is built in, and every cycle strengthens relationships rather than straining them.
Whether you're reporting to a board, presenting to partners, or communicating publicly, UpMetrics make it easy to share compelling and credible impact narratives.
UpMetrics automates the administrative work that consumes your team's time, freeing them to focus on strategy, relationships, and outcome delivery instead.
Easy-to-use ensures new users learn to use prototyping tools.
