Verdict
Which one should you pick?
Choose DashPanel when you want one dashboard app for 40+ titles — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Free demo shows only RPM/speed/gear, full data must be purchased per game, and available channels depend entirely on what each game's developer exposes
Choose Lovely Dashboard when you want polished SimHub dash designs — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Not standalone software — the site marks the Lovely Plugin as 'Required' and it all runs on top of SimHub, and the store page does not document which sims are supported
