What is Countly?
Countly 25.03.58 tightens API tokens, sessions and login lockouts in one security patch.
Countly 25.03.58 is a security-heavy patch for the 25.03 line. App-restricted tokens must now declare their permissions, password changes and member lockouts revoke tokens, single-use tokens and reset links work once even under concurrency, and login failures count per account regardless of username casing. It also tightens access to dashboards, dbviewer and exports, and fixes file migration, remote-config targeting and star-rating widgets.
What is Whatagraph?
Agency reporting adds ChatGPT ads as a channel before most clients have bought one.
Whatagraph ships weekly, alternating between new data sources and reducing the manual work of assembling a client report. The recent run added Ahrefs Rank Tracker for keyword-level competitive positions, automatic failover when the account owning a source loses access, Report shortcuts that turn one report into an entry point for others, auto colours for conditional formatting, and in-place field mapping while building a cross-channel Source Group. The newest release adds OpenAI Ads and a Google Ads Keyword Planner source.

Countly
5.0ANALYTICS
Countly 25.03.58 tightens API tokens, sessions and login lockouts in one security patch.
◆ Current state
Countly 25.03.58 is a security-heavy patch for the 25.03 line. App-restricted tokens must now declare their permissions, password changes and member lockouts revoke tokens, single-use tokens and reset links work once even under concurrency, and login failures count per account regardless of username casing. It also tightens access to dashboards, dbviewer and exports, and fixes file migration, remote-config targeting and star-rating widgets.
◆ Where it's heading
The 25.03 LTS line keeps absorbing security work at a fast clip: an upstream Node CVE, certificate distrust, and now a sweep of Countly's own token and permission model. Feature work stays in enterprise licensing and journeys, while LTS releases mostly harden what exists.
◆ Prediction
Expect a matching 24.05 backport of the token and permission fixes. Token owners may also need migration guidance, since existing app-restricted tokens without permissions are now limited to their owner's rights.
Whatagraph
6.3ANALYTICS
Agency reporting adds ChatGPT ads as a channel before most clients have bought one.
◆ Current state
Whatagraph ships weekly, alternating between new data sources and reducing the manual work of assembling a client report. The recent run added Ahrefs Rank Tracker for keyword-level competitive positions, automatic failover when the account owning a source loses access, Report shortcuts that turn one report into an entry point for others, auto colours for conditional formatting, and in-place field mapping while building a cross-channel Source Group. The newest release adds OpenAI Ads and a Google Ads Keyword Planner source.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads. The first is removing the recurring maintenance an agency does between report cycles — remapping fields, rebuilding groups, reconnecting sources after someone leaves, re-exporting keyword data monthly. The second is source coverage, which is now extending past ad accounts into other shapes: a keyword list is a source, and a report can be a widget inside another report. Whatagraph is competing on the labour a report costs, not the chart types it offers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more non-ad-account source shapes to follow the keyword-list pattern, and OpenAI Ads coverage to deepen as that platform's own API exposes more than the current account, campaign, ad group and ad levels.
