CoreDash vs Treo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick CoreDash if

• Fits if you need to know which element or script is causing a poor Core Web Vital
• Works for EU sites that want RUM without cookies or a consent banner

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 14-day trial
• Pricey if you want AI insights, the MCP server or the API, which start at Standard, $31 a month billed yearly
• Tight if you run several sites, as Starter covers 1 and Standard up to 2
• Watch out: extra pageview blocks (about $5 to $25 each) and site slots ($0.50 to $2 each) are monthly add-ons
• Not for you if you want lab tests too, as it measures real visits only

Pick Treo if

• Fits if you watch Core Web Vitals across many sites and don't want a script on each one
• Works for comparing your real-user speed with competitors' domains

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your pages get too little traffic to be in CrUX, as they'll show no field data
• Tight if you're staying free, since the free plan has no Lighthouse monitoring
• Pricey if you need the API, which starts at Pro, $185 a month billed yearly or $249 monthly
• Watch out: hourly Lighthouse checks use 5 times a page's share of your plan's allowance
• Pricey if you pay monthly, as Vital is $99 against $75 billed yearly

CoreDash

• There is no free plan; after the 14-day trial the cheapest plan is $16 a month billed annually for 75,000 pageviews and one site.
• AI insights, the MCP server and API access are not on Starter; they start at Standard, $31 a month billed annually.
• Extra pageview blocks (about $5 to $25 each) and site slots ($0.50 to $2 each) are monthly add-ons, priced by tier.
• Agency plans pool pageviews across client sites: Growth is $159 a month billed annually for 25 sites and 3M pageviews.

Treo

• Real-user data comes from the Chrome UX Report, so pages without enough traffic to be in that dataset show no field data.
• The free plan has no Lighthouse monitoring; it starts with Vital at $75 a month billed annually.
• API access starts at the Pro plan, $185 a month billed annually or $249 billed monthly.
• Hourly Lighthouse checks use 5 times a page's share of the plan's Lighthouse allowance.

CoreDash

Real-user Core Web Vitals

Measures LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB and FCP on every pageview with Google's web-vitals library, unsampled and with no limit on tracked URLs.

Attribution and waterfalls

Each slow pageview carries a request waterfall and names the LCP element, the interaction behind a poor INP or the shifting element, plus long animation frame scripts.

Segmentation

Filter by device, browser, OS, country, network speed, page group, navigation type and custom labels such as A/B variant or login state.

Alerts and uptime

Pulse alerts by email or Slack when a metric slips, and uptime monitoring that reports when a site or checkout stops responding.

AI insights and MCP server

From the Standard plan, an MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or another AI agent read your live performance data, alongside built-in AI insights.

CI/CD checks

One curl call from a build pipeline flags deploys that miss performance budgets and tracks real-user results per release.

Treo

Site Speed Report

Domain-level Core Web Vitals from the Chrome UX Report with 5 years of history, broken down by device, connection type and 200+ countries.

Competitor benchmarks

Because the data comes from CrUX rather than a script on your site, any domain can be added and compared with your own.

Sitemap Scan

Scans a sitemap and shows CrUX data for every page that has enough traffic to be in the dataset, updated daily, to find the slowest pages.

Lighthouse monitoring

Scheduled Lighthouse runs on mobile or desktop from 9 locations, daily (3 runs, median kept) or hourly, which uses 5 times the page allowance.

Budgets and alerts

Set performance budgets and get notified when a metric changes or drops below the expected level.

Testing behind a login

A static IP to allowlist and custom HTTP headers let the agent test internal or authenticated pages before release.
