Cyfe, Inc. operates as a cloud-based, self-service provider of business intelligence software, with its headquarters situated in Los Angeles, California. The company's flagship product is a business dashboard application designed to gather, process, and visualize data sourced from various integrated business intelligence platforms.[1] This platform follows a freemium model, allowing users to oversee all critical business metrics within a unified interface. Although its primary market is the United States, Cyfe has extended its reach internationally, currently serving clients in 15 different countries.
History
Established in 2012 by entrepreneur and web developer Deven Patel,[2] Cyfe was created to merge data from multiple sources into a single, streamlined dashboard. Patel recognized a demand among small enterprises and entrepreneurs for a solution that could provide real-time monitoring of distributed business information across social media platforms, websites, blogs, and email systems.[3]
Cyfe was incorporated as a private entity in the same year and initially adopted a freemium pricing strategy.[4] Subsequently, the company introduced Cyfe Premium, a subscription-based service offering unlimited dashboards and widgets, historical data retrieval, data export options, and additional functionalities.[5]
By the year 2013, the platform had broadened its integration capabilities to include analytics, marketing, sales, and infrastructure tools such as Eventbrite, Aweber, GetResponse, Stripe, and RSS feeds.[6]
In 2019, Cyfe became part of Alpine SG’s acquisition portfolio along with five other startups, contributing to the formation of a new marketing firm based in the Seattle area.[7]
Products
Cyfe Dashboard is a cloud-based solution designed for creating dynamic business dashboards in real time. It provides a web-accessible interface that allows users to link various data sources, automate data extraction, and perform analysis and visualization to support business intelligence efforts. Aimed primarily at users without technical expertise, the platform features a schema-free design that simplifies data source connections and separates data management from visualization, facilitating reuse throughout the system.
The Cyfe Premium version offers enhanced customization capabilities, permitting users to modify embedded formulas, as well as transform, merge, and filter data prior to visualization. The dashboard is compatible with desktops, tablets, and mobile devices, and includes functionality for sharing access with team members to promote collaborative decision-making based on data insights.

Cyfe utilizes a freemium approach, providing organizations with a dashboard solution that integrates extensive datasets from numerous platforms including Google Adwords, LinkedIn, Facebook, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Twitter, Shopify, Stripe, Zendesk, Flickr, Amazon Web Services, among others.
