Why Plecto is a stronger option than Geckoboard

Energy Sales Dashboard

Deeper data insight

Plecto is capable of more complex calculations such as custom metrics and calculated fields–and it has a dedicated reporting tool.

Motivating and fun gamification

Plecto combines the best of both worlds: in-depth data analysis along with exciting and motivating gamification features.

Easily scalable

Geckoboard's starter price is cheap, but the cost can quickly escalate as you build more dashboards and connect more data sources. With Plecto, whatever your plan, there are no limits on the number of dashboards, data sources and TVs connections you can have.

"Plecto is super motivating. Any salesperson in general, but especially young inside sales professionals, are competitive with themselves and within the team. Being able to have and see that healthy competition, and run these sort of sprint contests that we do using Plecto, creates a positive motivation for them."
