Does anyone know of a good software to manage multiple vps? Looking for like an dashboard style that can let me update packages, reboot and monitor them.

I'm assuming by manage multiple VPS you mean as a client and not as a hosting provider; and also assuming what you want is something you can deploy on a single machine and manage other servers.
Then my answer would be Cockpit (although it is a bit barebones at the moment), Ansible is a great tool as well.
My buddy is using tmux to type the same command into four machines simultaneously. This is suitable if you get the boxes at the same time and want to do exactly same operations for once.
More serious usage needs Ansible. It's based on "expected state". For example, you can define "nginx-light should exist, and apache2 should not exist", and then Ansible would execute necessary installation or uninstallation commands to make it happen.
For 5 servers this is Free

But honestly, I'd recommend you to setup something like ..
OS + centminmod / configserver ( for VPS functions )
Monitor it via NodeQuery
EE is also an interesting project : https://easyengine.io/
( Please excuse me if i misunderstood your requirement )
