PARTIAL
GA4 has Explorations for custom analysis but lacks the classic dashboard builder. For dashboards, Google recommends Looker Studio integration.
What We Found
We checked this in April 2026 and here's what we found — GA4 replaced Universal Analytics' custom dashboards with Explorations — a more powerful but different approach to custom analysis. For traditional dashboards, Google recommends using Looker Studio (free) which connects directly to GA4 data. Explorations include free-form, funnel, path, segment overlap, and cohort analysis types.
Limitations
- ⚠️ No traditional drag-and-drop dashboard builder in GA4
- ⚠️ Explorations are more analysis-focused than dashboard-focused
- ⚠️ Looker Studio required for shareable dashboards
- ⚠️ Explorations limited to 10 per user on free tier
