Pricing: $79 to $319 against $11.99 to $99
Geckoboard charges by what you build, not by who looks. Essentials is from $79 a month with 2 dashboards, 1 editor and 1 screen. Performance is from $319 a month with 20 dashboards, 3 editors and 5 screens. Extra dashboards on Essentials are $24 each, and extra editors and screens $20 each. Every plan has unlimited viewers, and it can be tried free for 14 days.
PromptLab is priced per user: $11.99 for Basic, $23.99 for Professional and $99 for Business, billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial on Basic and Professional. That buys the whole CRM, with dashboards included from Basic. A team that also pays for a CRM pays for both tools.
Where the numbers come from
Geckoboard lists 90+ data sources and unlimited integrations on every plan, plus a spreadsheet integration for Google Sheets and Excel and a Datasets API for pushing in other data. So one screen can mix numbers from tools such as Zendesk, Shopify and Aircall.
PromptLab's dashboards read only the CRM: deals, contacts, accounts, calls, meetings and custom objects. There is nothing to connect, but there is also nothing to bring in from outside. Custom metrics are included, shown as tables, bar, line, pie and other charts, and KPIs.
Screens, sharing and scheduled reports
Geckoboard's screens and dashboard loops that rotate on a timer are on Essentials. Sharing links are on Essentials too, and viewers do not need an account. Snapshots can be scheduled to Slack, Microsoft Teams or email.
PromptLab has no TV mode. A dashboard can be shared with a public link, and scheduled digests send counts, lists and an AI summary to Slack, Telegram or WhatsApp every day, week or month: 3 digests on Basic and unlimited on Professional. There are no email reports.
Where Geckoboard is stronger
Geckoboard is stronger on live wall displays, with screens that loop dashboards on a timer, and on data from outside the CRM. Its Performance plan adds alerts to Slack or Microsoft Teams, drilldown, custom templates and metrics built from custom fields in HubSpot or Zendesk.
It also offers a Metrics MCP on Essentials, so Claude, ChatGPT and other AI tools can work with your metrics. Claude and ChatGPT can connect to PromptLab over MCP too, on every plan. For a team that wants one shared screen across several tools, Geckoboard is the better fit.
