Ask questions, explore data, and build dashboards without SQL
Metabase lets anyone in your organization query data, create interactive dashboards, set alerts, and embed analytics, with a five‑minute setup and support for many databases.

Metabase is a user‑friendly analytics platform that empowers every team member to ask questions of their data without needing SQL expertise. Its visual query builder, SQL editor for power users, and ability to define models, segments, and metrics make data exploration intuitive. Users can craft interactive dashboards with filters, auto‑refresh, fullscreen mode, and custom click actions, then share insights via scheduled email or Slack reports and real‑time alerts.
Getting started is fast: a five‑minute setup on Metabase Cloud provides managed hosting, backups, SSL, and support, while the self‑hosted option runs on any infrastructure with Docker or standard installation guides. The platform integrates with a wide range of databases through official and community drivers, and offers an Embedded Analytics SDK for React to seamlessly embed charts or full dashboards into external applications.
When teams consider Metabase, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
