Question 1

Is DAKboard free?

Accepted Answer

DAKboard offers a limited free trial, but does not have a permanent free plan. To use DAKboard ongoing, you'll need a paid subscription starting around $6.99/month. Mango Display has a genuine free tier — 2 screens, forever, with no credit card required.

Question 2

Can Mango Display do everything DAKboard can?

Accepted Answer

Not everything. DAKboard offers more granular layout customisation and a larger number of third-party integrations. Mango Display prioritises ease of use and has stronger family features (chores, tasks, meal planning) and better native app support across smart TVs and tablets.

Question 3

Does DAKboard work on Fire TV?

Accepted Answer

DAKboard is browser-based and doesn't have a native Fire TV app. You can technically display it via a browser on some devices, but it's not optimised for TV remote control. Mango Display has a dedicated Fire TV / Fire Stick app designed for TV use.

Question 4

Which is better for a family calendar display?

Accepted Answer

Mango Display. It includes built-in support for Google Calendar, chores and rewards, meal planning, countdown timers, and Google Tasks — all features designed for family households. DAKboard's calendar integration is strong but lacks the family-specific features.

Question 5

Which is better for a business?

Accepted Answer

Mango Display. The Business plan ($19.99/mo) includes priority support, a 99.9% SLA, Google Docs and PDF display, browser snapshots, and video playback — features that matter for meeting room displays, cafe menus, and office dashboards. DAKboard doesn't have a formal business-tier offering.

Question 6

Does Mango Display work on Raspberry Pi?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mango Display works on Raspberry Pi via the browser, and is a popular choice for Pi-based digital calendar and dashboard builds.
