Alternatives to Metabase
Open-source BI for anyone.

- What is Metabase?
- Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool for querying databases and building dashboards.
- What does it do?
- Connects to your database and lets non-technical staff build questions, charts and dashboards through a point-and-click editor, with raw SQL available when needed. Handles scheduled reports, filters, permissions and embedded analytics.
- Who is it for?
- Small and mid-size companies that want self-serve analytics without a dedicated BI team, and engineers who would rather self-host than adopt a closed platform.
