Sim Racing Telemetry vs SIM Dashboard
Quick summary
Verified pricing differs — Sim Racing Telemetry: Free + per-game DLC · SIM Dashboard: Free + one-time Pro.
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 SIM Dashboard when you want phone widgets + virtual button box — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Free version is capped at 3 widgets per page, Windows games require a companion PC server app, and many games expose only partial telemetry so some widgets don't work per title
No universal winner — both entries are human-verified (dates in the Verification row below); weigh the limitations against your own setup.
