Frequently asked questions.
Common questions about migrating from or comparing with Geckoboard.
Why is Geckoboard so much more expensive than WallMRR?
Geckoboard is designed for venture-backed and enterprise companies with dedicated office floors, sales teams, and IT departments. They support enterprise security, SSO, and 90+ enterprise connectors. WallMRR is built specifically for indie SaaS makers and small teams who only want an ambient revenue command center on their office TV.
Can WallMRR replace Geckoboard if I use Salesforce or Jira?
No. If your team relies on Salesforce pipeline reports, Zendesk ticket volumes, or Jira sprint burndowns on a wall display, Geckoboard is the right choice. WallMRR focuses strictly on founder revenue, live traffic, and social sentiment.
Do I need a special media player to run WallMRR on a TV?
No. Unlike traditional digital signage tools that require a Raspberry Pi, Chromebox, or Airtame hardware, WallMRR runs directly in the built-in browser of any LG, Samsung, Sony, or Fire TV at wallmrr.com/tv with full screen wake-lock.
