Quick summary
Verified pricing differs — Sim Racing Telemetry: Free + per-game DLC · DashPanel: Free demo + per-game IAP.
Verdict
Which one should you pick?
Choose Sim Racing Telemetry when you want telemetry from console titles — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Records only complete timed laps, capture device and game machine must be on the same network, and per-game DLC bought on Steam is not transferable to the iOS/Android versions
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
