Yes, both are dashboards for online metrics, so they will necessarily be similar.
We believe that our product puts the accents in different places. Two things we put much emphasis on are user interface and true realtime updates. We spent a lot of effort polishing the UI and making sure it's consistent and informative, we're using websockets to deliver updates as soon as our backend gets them.
Check out the demos for both of them and pick the one that pleases you more.
I like that your board is real-time. Geckoboard requires an upgraded subscription to improve update speed. Will real-time be a feature on all plans of ducksboard?
It's definitely going to be included in all plans.
To expand on that, we do real real-time. For services that provide real-time updates, like Twitter, you get notification in the exact same moment someone retweeted you or followed you. For custom widgets where you provide your data, it's the same. Your system pushes data to the dashboard and your dashboard shows it instantly. For services you need to repeatedly poll, we're doing as many API requests as their limits allow us.
