Everything you can build with Dashable

Do you even need Dashable? Honest answer: maybe not. Home Assistant’s built-in editor has gotten genuinely good — Sections view has drag-and-drop, the Areas dashboard builds itself, and it improves every month. It’s free, and for a straightforward dashboard it’s the right choice. Dashable exists for the moment you hit the built-in editor’s ceiling — and that ceiling is architectural, not cosmetic: Home Assistant’s own dev blog says freeform placement and the responsive grid can’t co-exist. Here’s the honest comparison. Price Built-in editor — free. Dashable — one dashboard free forever; US$69.99/yr for a home, US$111.99/yr for many. A basic, tidy dashboard Built-in editor — genuinely easy now: drag-and-drop Sections, auto-generated Areas view. Dashable — just as easy. Layout control Built-in editor — a responsive grid; cards flow where the grid puts them. Dashable — pixel-perfect freeform; cards sit exactly where you place them. Conditional display and styling Built-in editor — possible, via YAML, templates and card-mod. Dashable — visual: conditions and state-driven styling, no YAML. Theming Built-in editor — YAML theme files. Dashable — visual theming. Several wall tablets Built-in editor — managed one screen at a time, in person. Dashable — push dashboards, refresh, lock editing, and set brightness and volume on every screen from one editor. Several Home Assistant instances Built-in editor — separate UIs, separate configs. Dashable — one account, every instance, shared layouts. When things break Built-in editor — community support; you maintain your card stack. Dashable — support included with your plan, and documentation at https://dashable.app/docs. Who shouldn’t pay for Dashable: if the grid layout does what you need, if you actually enjoy YAML and card-mod, or if one simple dashboard is all you want — stick with the built-in editor. It’s free and it keeps getting better; we mean that. Who Dashable is for: you want a wall tablet that looks exactly how you designed it, conditions and styling without the YAML cliff, or more than one screen or instance to run. That’s the ceiling we’re above. Build your first dashboard free at https://my.dashable.app/signup
