Metabase
Open source AI analytics you can verify·metabase.com
Metabase is an open source business intelligence and embedded analytics platform that connects to a company's data stack so teams can build dashboards, run queries, and explore data through a visual query builder, SQL editor, or natural-language AI (Metabot). It can be self-hosted for free or deployed on Metabase Cloud, and also offers an embedded analytics product for software companies that want to put dashboards and self-serve reporting inside their own apps. Paid tiers add governance, multi-tenant data segregation, SSO, white-labeling, and auditing features.
