1. The Analytics Imperative in the TikTok Era
By 2025, TikTok Shop is no longer the Wild West it had been two years earlier. It evolved into a structured, global retail engine driving billions in sales. The game has changed: sellers who once relied on lucky virality now compete using data precision, profit attribution, and cross-platform intelligence.
Among a growing landscape of analytics tools, two platforms dominate the conversation: FastMoss and Kalodata. Both aim to help operators decode the “black box” of TikTok commerce — but they follow radically different philosophies.
- FastMoss - acts as the macro-strategic radar, tracking markets, categories, and creators across countries to forecast what’s next.
- Kalodata - works as the tactical sniper scope, focused on near-real-time updates, trending products, and creator ROI.
This report explores how these two platforms stack up — and where Dashboardly fits as the next-generation profit intelligence platform for TikTok sellers who need clarity, not just data.
2. FastMoss: The Global Radar for Market Intelligence
FastMoss has positioned itself as the “enterprise-grade” analytics solution for large agencies, multi-store operators, and brand groups managing TikTok campaigns in multiple regions.
Core Strengths:
- Global coverage: Insights across the US, UK, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other key TikTok Shop markets.
- Macro-trend visualization: Category-level graphs depicting 30–90-day market growth and product directionality.
- Creator Discovery Engine: Exports up to 6,000 influencer contacts daily, filtered by region and engagement.
- Creative tools: AI-assisted video script ideas and content slicing features.
Limitations:
FastMoss provides wide visibility but lacks granular financial truth. Dashboards show what’s trending, not what’s profitable. Even the Pro plan provides only “yesterday’s data”, making it more useful for agencies planning campaigns weeks ahead, rather than sellers optimizing ROI in real time.
Pricing Snapshot:
- Basic: ~$59/month – 28-day window, 100 searches/day
- Pro: ~$109/month – 90-day window, 300 searches/day, AI suite
- Ultimate: ~$199/month – full exports, team use, multi-country access
FastMoss wins in scale, but it’s heavy and delayed for fast-moving operators.
3. Kalodata: Tactical Precision for Daily Operators
From 2023 to 2025, Kalodata grew by solving one core problem — speed and product-level clarity.
Core Strengths:
- 15-minute refresh rate: Data updates throughout the day, allowing sellers to react instantly.
- Profit & Opportunity Scoring: Highlights “blue-ocean” products — high demand, low competition.
- Creator ROI tracking: Connects influencers directly to actual sales performance.
- Mobile-first dashboard: Perfect for dropshippers, affiliates, and digital nomads managing from their phones.
Kalodata helps users act fast — showing what’s working now. But while it visualizes sales velocity, it still lacks ad cost, fee, and refund integration, leaving sellers guessing about true profit.
Pricing Snapshot:
- Starter: ~$45.90/month – 50 daily searches
- Pro: ~$99.90/month – 250 daily searches + 1 sub-account included
For small teams, the sub-account feature makes Kalodata cheaper than FastMoss, but its insight stops short of full profitability tracking.
4. Dashboardly: Profit Clarity for Modern TikTok Sellers
Neither FastMoss nor Kalodata answer the question every seller asks:
“How much am I actually making after fees, ads, refunds, and commissions?”
That’s where Dashboardly changes the game.

6. Competitive Landscape
By 2025, the TikTok analytics market matured far beyond the two leaders. New entrants fill specific niches but still fall short on depth:
- SimpTok — Free and beginner-friendly, but shallow.
- EchoTik — Affordable ($9–$19/mo), includes a Chrome extension but limited insights.
- Shoplus — Budget-tier with frequent stability issues.
Where these tools stop, Dashboardly begins — combining profit visibility with operational clarity.
