Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DataLion is a web-based dashboard and analytics platform for teams that need to combine CRM, pipeline, revenue, marketing, finance, web, and advertising data. Sales teams can track pipeline value, coverage, win rates, conversion, quota attainment, sales-cycle length, and forecast versus target. Filtering and drill-down support views by representative, region, product, segment, or deal stage. It suits analytics, sales, marketing, market research, insights, and enterprise teams, with web, API, and self-hosted deployment options.
The free plan provides 1 user, 1 project, 100 cases, Excel, CSV, and SPSS import, plus live dashboards and charts. According to the vendor’s pricing page, Solo costs €100 per month billed annually and adds unlimited projects, crosstabs, significance tests, exports to PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, and SPSS, REST API access, and Claude/MCP. Starter costs €350 per month billed annually and adds five viewers and live dashboard sharing. Pro costs €525 per month billed annually and adds an editor, 10 viewers, white-label surveys and reports, conjoint and BI views, and priority support. Enterprise costs €1,400 per month billed annually and includes custom licence mixes, dedicated hosting or self-hosting, SSO, an SLA, a personal contact, onboarding, training, and data consultancy.
Its strongest fit is for organizations that want configurable dashboards rather than a narrow sales reporting tool. Drag-and-drop dashboard creation, automatic refreshes, native exports, imports from CRM, databases, Excel, CSV, and live data, plus MySQL, Oracle, Exasol, REST API, and Claude/MCP connections support varied analytics workflows. Self-hosting and German hosting options add deployment flexibility. Smaller teams should assess the free plan’s usage limits and the annual billing structure, while buyers seeking a sales-only product may find the broader platform scope more than they need.
