What Geckoboard is

Geckoboard is a cloud dashboard and analytics service from Geckoboard, a company founded in 2010 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It runs through web, iOS, and Android access, with data refreshing in real time. Teams can use it to present dashboards, schedule reports, embed analytics, and submit natural-language queries. The service is sold through paid plans and includes a 14-day trial rather than a free plan. Essentials costs $79 a month when billed annually and supports two dashboards, one editor, one screen, and unlimited viewers. Performance costs $319 a month on annual billing and expands capacity to 20 dashboards, three editors, five screens, and unlimited viewers. Enterprise includes everything in Performance, along with a metric-building service, single sign-on, data import controls, audit logs, and procurement support. Geckoboard’s cloud deployment suits organizations that want shared operational views across browser and mobile devices, with plan tiers separating dashboard, editor, and screen capacity.

Who it suits

Geckoboard suits teams that need real-time dashboards accessible on the web, iOS, and Android. It is also relevant for organizations seeking scheduled reports, embedded analytics, natural-language queries, or enterprise controls such as single sign-on and audit logs.

Limits

The service has no free plan. Essentials is limited to two dashboards, one editor, and one screen; Performance allows 20 dashboards, three editors, and five screens, with unlimited viewers on both plans.

Verdict

Choose Geckoboard if your team needs cloud dashboards with real-time refresh across web and mobile devices.
