Dash Captain is in early access — we're onboarding sellers in waves.
Join early accessA monday.com dashboard alternative for live store numbers
If your team runs on monday.com, its dashboards are genuinely good at what they're for: charting the items on your boards — tasks, pipelines, workloads. The gap appears when the number you need doesn't live on a board: yesterday's Amazon revenue, today's ROAS, real ad spend across channels.
That's not a monday.com flaw — it's a different job. Dash Captain does the other job: connect stores, ad accounts and analytics directly (read-only) and watch the real numbers move. Many teams run both — monday for the work, a connected dashboard for the business.
Choose Dash Captain if…
- The numbers you present come from store and ad APIs, not board items — sales, spend, ROAS, profit
- You want a board a founder or client reads at a glance, with honest live/stale states
- You want your own custom metrics pushed from scripts or AI agents in one POST
Choose monday.com if…
- Your dashboard question is about work — project status, workload, pipeline stages: monday's dashboards over its boards are exactly that
- Your team already lives in monday and the data you chart is entered there anyway
- You need approvals, automations and workflows around the numbers, not just the numbers

Questions
- Can monday.com show my Amazon or Shopify sales?
- Not natively — monday dashboards chart board items. Marketplace apps and integrations can sync some external data into boards, but that's syncing rows to chart later, not a live read-only connection to your store's reporting APIs.
- Do I have to replace monday.com?
- No — this isn't a rip-and-replace comparison. monday is a work OS; Dash Captain is a connected business dashboard. Teams commonly keep both, and a monday.com connector is on our roadmap so your work KPIs can sit beside your sales KPIs.
- What does Dash Captain cost next to monday.com?
- Free seller tools with no signup, and a flat $29/month Pro for connected live data during early access — typically a fraction of a team's monday seat spend, because it's per account, not per seat.
