About Metabase

Metabase helps a team turn a suitable data source into questions, charts, and dashboards that other people can explore. Use the visual query builder for common reporting needs or SQL when a question needs more control, then share a dashboard with the audience who needs it. It suits a business making regular decisions from operational data. The open-source edition is available for self-hosting, which requires infrastructure, setup, and ongoing administration. Managed cloud is a paid option. Advanced permissions, embedding, branding, and enterprise controls have plan-specific requirements. Start with trustworthy data and clear metric definitions before treating a dashboard as a shared source of truth.

Ask a clear data question

Connect an appropriate data source and use a visual query or SQL to develop a useful report.

Explain the result

Combine charts and questions in dashboards that help the intended audience understand a business process.

Choose a deployment model

Compare self-hosted administration with managed cloud and check permissions or embedding requirements for the selected plan.
