TakeP1 vs Lovely Dashboard
Quick summary
Verified pricing differs — TakeP1: Free + $19.99/mo Pro · Lovely Dashboard: Free.
Verdict
Which one should you pick?
Choose TakeP1 when you want real-time, hardware-native coaching — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Desktop app runs on Windows 10/11 PCs only; console support is limited to Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 (app runs on a PC on the same network); installer not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen warns on install
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.
