Is Kinplug Dashboard an alternative to krewDashboard?

Yes. Both build dashboards from multiple Kintone apps. Kinplug Dashboard differs in that every calculation runs in the browser under the viewing user's own Kintone session, so no external server holds your records, and it is included in the single Kinplug subscription rather than priced as a separate product.

Can it combine data from apps that are not related?

Yes. Apps are matched on a shared key you confirm, and each app is aggregated independently before the results are aligned, so unrelated apps can be compared without changing how they are built.

Does it handle Japanese fiscal years?

Yes. Fiscal year starts in April by default and is configurable. A date field is derived to year, quarter or month so it lines up with dropdowns holding values such as FY2025 or Q1.

Do we need to change our Kintone apps to use it?

No. There are no schema changes. Dashboards are stored as Kintone records, so sharing follows the permissions you already have.

Kinplug Dashboard

One dashboard across every app.

Kintone aggregates inside a single app. The moment your actuals live in one app and your targets in another, comparing them means exporting CSVs. Kinplug Dashboard compares apps on a shared key and pools rows from many apps into one number — with no changes to how your apps are built.

A date field and a dropdown, on the same axis

Your sales app stores a real date. Your targets app stores "FY2025" and "Q1" in dropdowns. Normally those never line up. Kinplug Dashboard derives year, quarter and month from the date and matches them automatically — fiscal year starting April by default (configurable), so 2025-05-02 lands in Q1 of FY2025. Target-vs-actual works without remodelling your data.

Your data never leaves Kintone

Every calculation runs in the browser under the viewing user's own Kintone session. There is no external server holding your records. If someone cannot see a record in Kintone, they cannot see it in a dashboard either — permissions are enforced by Kintone itself, which is what makes this straightforward to get through IT review.

42 chart types — bar, line, combo, heatmap, Gantt, calendar, pivot and more
Japanese-first UI with 万/億 number formatting, written natively rather than translated
Dashboards are stored as Kintone records, so sharing follows your existing permissions
Pages (tabs) let one dashboard hold several screens

Compared with krewDashboard

krewDashboard, from Mescius, is the established dashboard plugin in this category and a genuinely capable product. Both require Kintone Standard or above, and both offer a 30-day trial. The published difference worth knowing:

Pricing model — Mescius lists krewDashboard Simple edition at ¥12,000/month per domain (¥120,000/year). Kinplug Dashboard is not priced separately: one subscription covers every Kinplug plugin.
Where data is processed — Kinplug Dashboard runs entirely in the browser under the viewing user's Kintone session, so Kintone's own access permissions decide what each person sees.
Fiscal period matching — a real date field and a dropdown holding "FY2025" or "Q1" are aligned automatically, fiscal-April by default.

Competitor pricing above is as published by Mescius and Cybozu at the time of writing; check their site for current figures.
