KeyMetriq vs Geckoboard
Geckoboard does one thing plainly: live metrics from 90+ tools on a TV, a shared link or a Slack snapshot, so the whole team watches the same numbers. KeyMetriq is the layer those numbers should come from: one profile per person across every tool, and revenue verified against the bank statements you upload. Here is the honest comparison.
The short version
Choose Geckoboard if what you need is a screen: real-time KPIs from the tools you already run, on a TV in the office or a link for the team, with alerts and drilldown on the Performance plan. It is quick to set up and asks nothing of your data. Choose KeyMetriq if the numbers on that screen are the problem: it merges every tool's version of a customer into one profile, measures revenue from real sales data with refunds counted, reconciles it against your bank statements, and runs the forms, bookings, email, inbox and tasks around it. Dashboards display. KeyMetriq reconciles.

Across 19 features. Pricing and terms rows are compared below, not counted.
| Feature | KeyMetriq | Geckoboard |
|---|---|---|
| Email marketing | ||
| Email campaigns | Native sending is KeyMetriq's own: broadcasts on every tier, 25,000 to 600,000 sends per month by tier. Campaign studio on Growth. | Geckoboard does not send email. Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo, Campaign Monitor and SendGrid connect as data sources for campaign metrics. |
| Signup forms | Native forms with actions on submit: tag, add to a list, register to a webinar, notify your team, create a task, send an auto-reply. The forms on this site are KeyMetriq forms. | No form builder. Geckoboard reads metrics from connected tools; it does not collect anything from visitors. |
| Landing page builder | No landing page builder. KeyMetriq assumes you already have a website and instruments it instead. | No landing page builder. |
| Automation | ||
| Visual automation builder | Not yet - on the roadmap. One-step rules cover the common cases today: form actions (tag, notify, create a task, auto-reply), reminders and follow-ups around a booked call, and launch rules that open a task or post to the launch's Slack channel when a sale lands. | No marketing automation. Alerts on the Performance plan post to Slack or Microsoft Teams when a metric crosses a threshold, and snapshots go out on a schedule. |
| Automated email sequences | Not yet - on the roadmap alongside the automation builder. | No email sequences; Geckoboard does not send to contacts. |
| Analytics & reporting | ||
| Revenue reporting | Measured from your real sales data, refunds included. Dashboards display; KeyMetriq reconciles. | Revenue KPIs as the connected source reports them: Shopify sales volume and average order value, QuickBooks Online invoice amounts, and for Stripe, MRR and revenue by way of Baremetrics, ChartMogul or ProfitWell, since the native Stripe source covers subscriber counts. Each figure is that tool's number. |
| Campaign attribution | Per-contact campaign attribution across platforms, tied to real orders (Growth). Clicks from ActiveCampaign, Kit, and MailerLite sends arrive as identified visitors. | Attribution figures come from the connected tools that compute them, such as Google Analytics or HubSpot. Geckoboard has no pixel or attribution model of its own. |
| A/B testing | Page-variant experiments with clear verdicts: keep running, not enough data yet, or promote the challenger, automatically if you choose. Email subject-line splits: not yet. | No experiments. |
| On-site behavior tracking | Website widget, attention maps and visitor paths on your real pages, and video watch tracking on YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia (Growth). | Aggregate web metrics from Google Analytics, Matomo, GoSquared, Mixpanel or Amplitude, and video views from YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia. Aggregates, not individual visitors. |
| Bank reconciliation and receipts | Bank and card statement reconciliation, AI receipt matching, subscriptions checked against real charges, and an accountant pack (Growth). The number you see matches the money that arrived. | No bank reconciliation or receipt matching. QuickBooks Online connects as a data source, so invoice totals can share a screen with sales. |
| AI assistant | AI weekly digest on every tier. Chat with your numbers and anomaly alerts on Growth. A business profile you fill in once gives every AI feature its context. | No assistant inside Geckoboard. The Metrics MCP server, on every plan and covering 15+ integrations, lets Claude, ChatGPT and other AI tools query your Geckoboard metrics. |
| CRM & data | ||
| Contact profiles | One deduplicated profile per person: identity resolution across platforms, full timeline, segments, tags. | No contact profiles or identity resolution. Drilldown on Performance lists the tickets, calls or conversations behind a metric and links to the source tool; it does not build a record per person. |
| Sales CRM and deal pipelines | No deal pipelines. Contacts, timelines, and a shared task suite instead. | Not a CRM. HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Copper and Zendesk Sell connect as data sources for pipeline metrics. |
| Booking pages and call scheduling | Native booking pages, no scheduling tool needed: event types with your hours, buffers and intake questions, a Zoom meeting per booking, reminders and follow-up rules, move or cancel from the confirmation. Booked calls land on the contact and in the funnel, marked held, no-show or enrolled. | No booking pages. Google Calendar connects as a data source. |
| Operations | ||
| Team tasks | Kanban boards, My Week, mentions, watchers, recurring tasks. | No task management. Goals and status indicators mark targets on a dashboard; Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Jira, Linear and monday.com connect as data sources. |
| Member portal and cohorts | Member portal on Scale: community, programs, cohorts, who has paid, and who watched this week's lesson. | No member portal, community, courses, or cohorts. |
| Support inbox | Shared inbox where email and texts thread into one conversation per customer. | No inbox, although support teams are a core audience: Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias, Help Scout, Aircall and Dixa connect for ticket and call metrics, with drilldown to the individual item on Performance. |
| SMS marketing | No SMS broadcasts. Two-way support texting works today, with consent enforced and STOP and START honored. | No SMS sending. Twilio connects as a data source for messaging metrics. |
| Integrations | A curated set: Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce, ThriveCart, SamCart, Gumroad, Kajabi, Thinkific, MailerLite, Calendly, Zoom, Gmail, Slack, Google Search Console and more. Unlimited connections on Growth. A curated catalog, not a thousand-app marketplace. | 90+ data sources across support, sales, analytics, marketing and ecommerce, plus Google Sheets, Excel, SQL databases, a Datasets API, Zapier and Make. Connect as many as you like on any plan; Aircall, Shopify and Zendesk Support carry data volume limits that rise on Performance. |
| Pricing & terms | ||
| What a contact costs you | Billing counts deduplicated people. The same buyer on Stripe, your shop, and your list is one contact; detected spam counts as zero. | Not priced by contacts. Plans are sized by dashboards, editors and screens: 2, 1 and 1 on Essentials, 20, 3 and 5 on Performance, with unlimited viewers on both. Extras on Essentials are $30 per dashboard and $25 per editor or screen a month on monthly billing. |
| Price protection | Founding price kept for as long as your subscription remains active. | No published price lock. Geckoboard's terms allow fee increases on one month's written notice, taking effect on the next billing date. |
| Ways to start | Pay from day one with a 30-day money-back guarantee: walk away whole if it is not for you. No free plan. | 14-day free trial with no card required; no free plan is listed on the pricing page. Fees are non-refundable under Geckoboard's terms, and cancellation runs to the end of the current monthly or annual period. |

Geckoboard is clear about what it is: a screen. Connect Stripe, Shopify, Zendesk or a spreadsheet, put the KPIs on a TV, and the whole team watches the same numbers move in real time. It does not alter the data and does not claim to; the figure on the wall is whatever the source tool reports.
KeyMetriq is the source those figures should come from. Identity resolution merges the same customer across Stripe, your shop, your list and your inbox into one profile, revenue is measured from real sales data with refunds already counted, and the finance suite reconciles it against the bank statements you upload, with receipts matched to transactions. When the number says $6,300, that is what arrived. Dashboards display. KeyMetriq reconciles.
A wall screen and a system of record are different purchases, and some teams will want both. The order matters: get the number right first, then put it on the wall.
Founding beta price, kept for as long as your subscription remains active. Full pricing and terms.
Monthly-billing rates from Geckoboard's public pricing page; annual billing is 20% less ($79 and $319, with extras at $24, $20 and $20). Viewers are unlimited on every plan. Alerts, drilldown, custom fields, folders and custom themes (a $50/mo extra on Essentials) start at Performance. Prices exclude VAT. From Geckoboard's public pricing pages, September 20, 2026.
Not for the wall screen: Geckoboard's TV pairing, loops and snapshot posts are purpose-built for that, and KeyMetriq is not a wall-display product. It is an alternative for the numbers themselves: instead of displaying each tool's figure, KeyMetriq holds one profile per person and reconciles revenue against your bank statements.
No. Geckoboard shows metrics and does not store contacts; drilldown on Performance lists the items behind a metric inside their source tool. In KeyMetriq, identity resolution merges the same person across Stripe, your shop, your list and your inbox, and billing counts deduplicated people.
No. It displays what Shopify, QuickBooks Online or a subscription analytics tool report; nothing matches a sale to a bank line or a receipt. KeyMetriq's finance suite (Growth) reconciles revenue against the bank statements you upload and matches receipts to transactions, read-only, over your own records.
TV dashboards with loops and remote screen management, scheduled snapshots to Slack, Microsoft Teams and email, metric alerts and drilldown (Performance), a 90+ source catalog with spreadsheets and SQL, and a 14-day free trial. The table above keeps the full score.
Everything under the dashboard: identity resolution and one profile per person, revenue measured from real sales data with refunds counted, bank reconciliation and receipt matching (Growth), plus native forms, booking pages, email broadcasts, a support inbox, team tasks, and a member portal (Scale).
