gibeon.ioA TelemetryTV alternative that keeps data in the EU
TelemetryTV is built around dashboards and integrations, with hosting in North America. If you want a flat price and EU data, here is the difference.
What TelemetryTV does well
TelemetryTV is strong if your screens are really about data. The 70+ integrations and BI connections mean you can pull live numbers onto a wall without much fuss, and the dashboards look clean. Device groups make it sane to manage a large fleet, so a team running hundreds of screens across sites can push changes once instead of one by one. The playlists are flexible, and the Canva tie-in helps people who already design there. For a data-heavy rollout at scale, it is a serious tool and the per-screen model is clear.
Where TelemetryTV falls short
The catch for a Belgian buyer is where your data lives. TelemetryTV runs on AWS in North America, with no EU residency option, so GDPR is on you to argue. Gibeon keeps everything in the EU (Supabase EU + Cloudflare EU) on every plan. Next, price: TelemetryTV starts at $8 per screen per month billed yearly, with only a trial, no free tier. Gibeon has flat tiers at EUR 0/39/99/299 and a free 3-screen plan that stays free. Setup also differs. With Gibeon you paste a URL to pair a screen, with no login or app on the device. And for estate agents, Gibeon syncs by name with Whise, Omnicasa and Zabun.

Switching from TelemetryTV
Start on the free 3-screen tier and rebuild one playlist there first. Export your asset list from TelemetryTV, drop the files into Gibeon, and for live data point a screen at the same URL instead of pulling it through an integration. Once one location looks right, paste the URLs on the rest. Most offices move a handful of screens in an afternoon.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move my screens without redoing everything?
Mostly yes. Your media files move straight over. The part that changes is data feeds: instead of TelemetryTV integrations, you point a screen at a URL. Rebuild one playlist as a template, then copy it across locations. Plan an afternoon for a small fleet.
Why does EU hosting matter if TelemetryTV works fine?
It works fine technically. The issue is legal. TelemetryTV stores data on AWS in North America with no EU residency, so any GDPR question lands on you. Gibeon keeps data in the EU on every plan, so that conversation with your DPO is short.
Is the free tier a trial in disguise?
No. Three screens stay free with no end date and no card. TelemetryTV only offers a trial, then per-screen billing kicks in. If you run a small office, you may never need to pay, and you can test the whole product before deciding.
