Ditch Tableau.Own Your Dashboard Forever.
Tableau charges $75 per user per month and still won't let you make it look the way you want. Salesforce and Power BI are the same story: expensive, rigid, and designed to keep you paying. We build custom dashboards that look better, pull from any data source, and cost nothing after the build.
Every problem. Directly solved.
The team paid monthly for tools they didn't own and couldn't customize. Here's what changed.
The dashboard runs on infrastructure the client owns. All credentials, API keys, and data stay in their environment. No SaaS platform sitting between your data and your screen. If we part ways, nothing stops working.
How It Stacks Up
| Feature | Custom Build | Tableau | Salesforce | Power BI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost per user | None after build | $75+/user | $25–$300/user | $10–$20/user |
| Looks exactly how you want | ||||
| Works with any data source | ||||
| You own the code | ||||
| No vendor lock-in | ||||
| No per-seat licensing | ||||
| Runs if vendor shuts down |
Every Build Includes
Every dashboard engagement includes the full stack from data connectors to front-end design. Nothing is a paid add-on.
Custom Layout & Design
Every dashboard is designed from scratch to match your brand, your data, and your priorities. No forced templates. No Salesforce chrome. Exactly what you asked for.
Multi-Source Data Connectors
Pull from Google Sheets, internal databases, REST APIs, CSVs, and any other data source your team uses. Unified into a single view without stitching tools together manually.
Automated Data Refresh
Dashboards update on a schedule or in real time depending on source. No one presses a button. The numbers are current when you open the page.
Charts, Tables & KPI Cards
Custom-built visualizations using Chart.js or D3. Line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scorecards, tables with sorting and filtering. Rendered exactly how you want to see them.
Full Visual Control
Colors, fonts, spacing, density, dark mode — all configurable. Your dashboard looks like it belongs to your company, not to a $100/month SaaS vendor.
Access Control
Role-based access built to your spec. Executives see the full view. Managers see their segment. Individual contributors see their own data. All enforced server-side.
Drill-Down & Filtering
Click into any chart to see the underlying data. Filter by date range, region, product line, team, or any dimension that matters. No license tier required to unlock it.
Self-Hosted on Your Infrastructure
The dashboard runs on a server you own. No SaaS platform sitting between your data and your screen. No monthly fee for a tool that already does what it needs to do.

Deploy to production. Team walkthrough and documentation. Access configured for all users. Retainer begins for ongoing updates and additions.
Pay Once. Own It.
Dashboard builds are priced as a one-time build fee, followed by an optional monthly retainer for ongoing updates, new metric additions, and data source integrations. After the build, the system runs on its own with no recurring licensing cost.
A team of 10 on Tableau Creator licenses pays $750 per month, or $9,000 per year. A custom build at $15,000 pays for itself in under 18 months and costs nothing after that.
What Are You Paying Now?
Add up your current BI seats. Most teams are surprised how quickly it compounds. If you're paying more than $1,000 per month for dashboards that still don't look the way you want, a custom build is worth the conversation.
- Any number of users, no per-seat fee
- Any data source your team uses today
- Looks exactly the way you design it with us
- No vendor risk if prices change or products get sunset
