What are you actually paying for BI?
Most tools charge per seat — whether your users log in or not. DashboardFox charges only for monthly active users. See the difference.

Why is DashboardFox so much cheaper?
It's not a catch. We price differently — and more fairly.
Pay for logins, not licenses
Most tools charge for every provisioned seat. We charge only for users who actually log in that month. Vacations, dormant accounts, quarterly-only viewers — you don't pay for any of them.
Security and branding aren't upsells
Row-level security and white-label branding are included in every plan — even Starter at $99/mo. Other tools make you jump to $500+/mo tiers just to control who sees what data.
No artificial limits on reports or dashboards
Unlimited dashboards, unlimited reports, unlimited data connections. We don't charge $8 per dashboard or cap you at 3 data sources. Build everything your business needs without watching a counter.
