Metabase

Metabase · Analytics & Data

Open-source business intelligence tool positioned as the alternative to Tableau and Looker for engineering-led teams. Distinctive for its free self-hosted tier that runs on Docker — the go-to "first BI tool" for startups before they can justify a data team. Cloud version priced from $85/mo. Acquired minority stake by Insight Partners; still open-source. Popular with technical founders who want SQL access to their Postgres/BigQuery data.

In other words, Metabase is worth it for teams (5-200) that want business intelligence + dashboards + ad-hoc SQL queries — particularly if you value open-source flexibility over Looker/Tableau enterprise sales. Starter covers small teams (self-hosted free); Pro adds Cloud hosting + row-level permissions; Enterprise adds advanced auditing. Moderate learning curve; SQL knowledge unlocks the deep features. Native connections to Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, and 25+ data sources. Downside: enterprise features (row-level security, embedded analytics) sit behind Pro+, and Cloud hosting adds cost over self-hosted.
