Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source BI tool. Self-host for free, connect to any database, and non-technical users can build queries.”
“Self-hostable, open source, and genuinely all-in-one. Replaces Amplitude + LaunchDarkly + Hotjar at a fraction of the cost.”
“Free, self-hostable, and the visual query builder actually works for non-SQL users. Essential for data democratization.”
