Geckoboard directly integrates with over 90 cloud based business tools like Google Analytics, Shopify and Zendesk. No complex data processes required.

Ease-of-use

Geckoboard

Looker Studio

No training required

You’ll be able to build your first dashboard in just a few minutes.

Design can be challenging

On the whole, Looker Studio is easy to use, and offers design flexibility. However, this flexibility means it’s hard to produce effective dashboards for end users without data visualization training.

Optimized for TV

Geckoboard

Looker Studio

Yes

Our Send to TV feature makes it easy to display and manage your TV dashboards.

Not really

You will need to purchase additional digital signage software. Even then, Looker dashboards will not be optimized for TV display unless they are specially designed for TV consumption.

Verdict

For a long time, Google Data Studio (now Looker Studio) has been the go-to choice of dashboard for digital marketers on a budget. However, if you want to create professional looking dashboards that reliably visualize data from over 90+ data sources, use Geckoboard.
