# Which Pickcel dashboard app should I use?

> Compare Pickcel's digital signage dashboard apps, Power BI, Tableau, Dashboard Auth, and Dashboard App, by supported players, authentication methods, and interactivity to find the best fit.

It depends on your dashboard source, the player you're using, and whether you need viewers to interact with the screen. Use this matrix to compare at a glance:

| App Name                                        | Dashboards Supported                                                                                            |                Interaction Supported?                | Supported Players                                            | Auth Supported                                                     | Key Restrictions / Conditions                                                                           |
