Sim Racing Telemetry vs Lovely Dashboard
Quick summary
Verified pricing differs — Sim Racing Telemetry: Free + per-game DLC · Lovely Dashboard: Free.
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 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
No universal winner — both entries are human-verified (dates in the Verification row below); weigh the limitations against your own setup.
