A custom business intelligence dashboard starts at $600, with delivery in about 3 days — covering data cleaning, analysis, an interactive dashboard, and a final report. A healthcare data dashboard with HIPAA-compliant handling starts at $1,000, with delivery in about 5 days, reflecting the added work of encryption and compliant data handling.
What determines the price
The starting price assumes data that already exists in a reasonably usable form. Cost increases with:
- How many data sources need to be connected and reconciled
- Whether the dashboard needs to update in real time vs. a periodic refresh
- How much custom visualization design is needed vs. standard chart types
- Compliance requirements — healthcare data specifically requires HIPAA-compliant handling
What's included
Every dashboard project includes data cleaning and preparation (the part that takes the most time and matters most for accuracy), the actual analysis, an interactive dashboard you and your team can use directly, and a final report summarizing what the data shows.
One-time analysis vs. an ongoing dashboard
Some projects are a one-time research or statistical analysis with a final report as the deliverable — useful for a specific decision or question. Others are an ongoing dashboard meant to be checked regularly, which is a different kind of build (real-time data connections, a stable interface your team returns to) than a one-off analysis.
Common questions
What if my data is messy or spread across multiple systems?
That's normal, and data cleaning and preparation is included in every project specifically for this reason. The starting price assumes a reasonable amount of this work; significantly messier or more fragmented data may scope higher.
Can the dashboard connect to our existing tools?
Yes, connecting to existing data sources is standard. The complexity of those connections is one of the main factors in the final price.
What makes a healthcare dashboard different?
Healthcare data dashboards require HIPAA-compliant handling — encryption, access controls, and audit-ready infrastructure — the same requirements covered in our HIPAA compliant software article. This is why the healthcare tier starts higher than the standard business dashboard.
