Models and metrics provide a light semantic layer, and public links or signed embedding put charts into other applications. It ships as a single JAR or Docker image, which makes it one of the easiest BI servers to self-host on a small machine.\n\nCode outside the enterprise directory is licensed under the AGPL; the enterprise directory is under the Metabase Commercial License and powers the Pro and Enterprise plans (SSO, row-level sandboxing, white-labeling, advanced permissions), available self-hosted or on Metabase Cloud. The open-source edition covers most small-team needs. Limitations include modest modeling compared with dbt-centric semantic layers, performance that depends entirely on the connected database, and the AGPL obligations for teams modifying and redistributing it.",94  "capabilities": [95    "Graphical question builder and native SQL editor",96    "Dashboards with filters, drill-through and alerts",97    "Scheduled delivery to email and Slack",98    "Models and metrics as a light semantic layer",99    "Public sharing and signed embedding",100    "Connectors for twenty-plus databases"101  ],102  "categories": [103    {104      "slug": "bi-dashboards",105      "primary": true106    }107  ],108  "execution_modes": [109    "self-hosted",110    "cloud"111  ],112  "interfaces": [113    "web",114    "api"115  ],116  "source_model": "mixed",117  "license_spdx": "AGPL-3.0",118  "pricing_model": [119    "open-source",120    "free",121    "paid",122    "enterprise"123  ],124  "sources": [125    {126      "url": "https://www.metabase.com/",127      "type": "official_site",128      "supports": [129        "name",130        "summary"131      ],132      "checked_at": "2026-11-02",133      "title": "Metabase"134    },135    {136      "url": "https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/",137      "type": "official_docs",138      "supports": [139        "capabilities",140        "integrations"141      ],142      "checked_at": "2026-11-02",143      "title": "Metabase documentation"144    },145    {146      "url": "https://github.com/metabase/metabase/blob/master/LICENSE.txt",147      "type": "license_page",148      "supports": [149        "license_spdx",150        "source_model"151      ],152      "checked_at": "2026-11-02",153      "title": "Metabase LICENSE.txt",154      "note": "AGPL outside the enterprise directory; Metabase Commercial License inside it"155    },156    {157      "url": "https://www.metabase.com/pricing/",158      "type": "pricing_page",159      "supports": [160        "pricing_model"161      ],162      "checked_at": "2026-11-02",163      "title": "Metabase pricing"164    },165    {166      "url": "https://github.com/metabase/metabase",167      "type": "repository",168      "supports": [169        "repo_url"170      ],171      "checked_at": "2026-11-02",172      "title": "metabase/metabase"173    }174  ],175  "confidence": "high"176}177
