A Geckoboard alternative built for the sales floor.
Geckoboard is a solid way to keep many teams' numbers on a screen. When the screen belongs to a sales team, GoalHorn does that one job differently: it ranks the reps, keeps the goal in view and turns every closed deal into a moment the whole room sees.
Free for up to 5 reps. No account, no card.

Where a dashboard stops and a broadcast starts.
A dashboard answers what the numbers are. A sales floor also wants to know who just closed, who is catching up and how the month is going to end. GoalHorn is programmed like live TV to answer those.
The rep is the headline.
A win takes over the screen with that rep's name in 3D letters, the amount counting up, confetti and the gong. Several at once queue up and play in turn.
The standings move.
Bars race toward the lead and trade places on air when someone passes a teammate, then the goal ring shows what is left and whether you are ahead of pace.
The month has a story.
The Replay races the period back day by day in about 20 seconds and names the strongest finish and the hot start. Open Monday's meeting with it.
Switching takes an afternoon.
You can run GoalHorn next to your Geckoboard screen for a week before you decide anything.
Feed a sheet
Point GoalHorn at a Google Sheet you already keep, or add a Zapier or Make step that writes a row when a deal is won: time, rep and amount.
Add the team
Rep names, photos if you have them, each rep's goal and the team's goal for the week or month.
Open it on the TV
Paste the TV link into the screen's browser and press Start once. It goes full screen, turns on sound and keeps the screen awake.

Questions from Geckoboard users.
Can GoalHorn replace all of our Geckoboard dashboards?
Probably not, and it doesn't try. GoalHorn ranks people by one or two numbers, shows the team goal and celebrates every win. If your Geckoboard screens show support queues, marketing funnels or server health, keep them there and give the sales floor its own screen.
Does GoalHorn connect to HubSpot or Salesforce directly?
Not directly. A Zapier or Make step adds a row to a Google Sheet when a deal is won, and GoalHorn reads the sheet every 30 seconds. It takes a few minutes to set up and works with any CRM those tools support, including the ones Geckoboard doesn't list, like GoHighLevel and Zoho CRM.
Why does GoalHorn cost so much less?
There are no servers to run. The TV reads your sheet directly and draws every frame in its own browser, so one flat price covers the whole floor and every screen it is on.
Do we need to buy a computer for the TV?
Usually not. Try the live demo on the TV's own browser or the streaming stick behind it first. If the picture stutters, switch the board to TV stick mode, or plug in an old laptop or a mini PC.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are monthly and you can cancel any time. Your board keeps running on the free plan.
Give the sales floor its own channel.
Free for up to five reps. $49 a month flat when the whole team is on it.
