1. Reports are static; Dashboards are dynamic.
When you generate a report, it will take whatsoever date ranges you require and show that data as a snapshot in time. This is like the PDF reports, where you can trust that these reports' data will remain the same no matter when you look at it.
Dashboards are dynamic. Just you need to apply the date ranges to retrieve the data anytime.
2. Reports are sharable; Dashboards are not sharable.
Reports can be published to an HTML document that can be emailed, printed, or saved as a file itself.

However, you can make Dashboards visible to your client. Add the contact details of your client and that's it! We'll send an invitation to your client on behalf of you.
