How to choose

Which data sources can the dashboard use?

Check whether a tool supports the streaming data sources and custom data sources you need.

The listings compare both source types, so confirm that the options match the data you plan to display.

How often does the dashboard refresh?

Compare the minimum refresh interval with how quickly you need the board to reflect changes.

A shorter interval can matter when the board is used to monitor changing metrics.

Does it have a free plan, and what does paid access cost?

Check the free-plan mark and the listed starting price before choosing a tool.

For example, Analtra has a free plan with paid access from $50 per month; Cyfe has a free plan and a 14-day trial. Pricing terms vary by tool.

Can I share dashboards and set metric alerts?

Compare dashboard sharing and metric alerts if other people need to see changes or respond to them.

These are separate features in the comparison, so check both for your intended workflow.

Which platforms does it run on?

Check the platform marks for the devices or environments you use, including web, API, Linux, iOS, Android and Windows.

Do I need open-source code or a particular data-retention period?

Check the open-source mark if you need to inspect or change the code, and compare data retention against how long you need metrics available.

Questions

What should I compare when choosing a realtime dashboard?

Compare streaming and custom data sources, minimum refresh interval, sharing, metric alerts, data retention, platform support and pricing.

Which realtime dashboard tools have a free plan?

The listings show a free-plan mark. For example, Analtra and Cyfe have free plans; check the individual listing for current pricing terms.

How often do realtime dashboards refresh?

The minimum refresh interval varies by tool. Compare that field with how quickly you need changes to appear.

Can I connect custom data sources to a realtime dashboard?

Custom data sources are one of the comparison fields. Check a tool's listing to see whether its options fit your data.

Which realtime dashboards are open source?

The open-source mark indicates whether code is open source. Check the mark and the tool's licence if you need to inspect or change its code.
