Documentation Overview

Metabase

Metabase is the easy, open-source way for everyone in your company to ask questions and learn from data.

Get started

The easiest way to get started with Metabase is to sign up for a free trial of Metabase Cloud.

You get expert support, backups, upgrades, an SMTP server, SSL certificate, SoC2 Type 2 security auditing, and more (plus your money goes toward improving a major open-source project). Check out our quick overview of cloud vs self-hosting. If you need to, you can always switch to self-hosting Metabase at any time (or vice versa).

Key Features

Set up in five minutes (we're not kidding), or have us host Metabase for you so you don't even need to think about it.
Let anyone on your team ask questions without knowing SQL.
Use the SQL editor for more complex queries.
Ask AI: Metabot gives you answers you can trust, helps you write queries, and more. Or build your own AI agent to query your data.
Build handsome, interactive dashboards with filters, auto-refresh, fullscreen, custom click behavior, and more.
Use documents for long-form data analysis, and invite people to comment.
Transform raw data into analytics-ready tables, track down broken dependencies, and define canonical metrics in Metabase's Data Studio.
Set up alerts on your data, or schedule dashboard subscriptions to email, Slack, or even a webhook.
Curate content in a Library, and version your work with Git.
Embed Metabase in your app, with components for charts, dashboards, data browser, AI chat, and more. You can even put an entire Metabase in your app.
Set granular permissions that work for both internal teams and embedded analytics, whether you co-locate your customer data, or give each customer their own database.
Dark mode, content translations, and way more stuff than we can list here.
