The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ChartMogul the free tier stops at $10K MRR, so it lapses precisely as a company starts to matter; Databox data sources are the billing unit, and the $159 Pro plan still includes only 3 before charging $5.60 for each additional one
  • They diverge on capability: ChartMogul covers MRR Analytics, Databox covers Pre-built Dashboards.
