The Hidden Cost of Free

Why search for free BI tools?

Most business intelligence platforms lure you in with a free tier. Then they block the one thing you actually need: sharing.

In Power BI, the free tier is a lonely island. You can build a chart, but you cannot share it with a colleague unless you both pay for Pro licenses. In Tableau, just letting a manager view a dashboard can cost $15 per month. If you have 50 employees, that is $9.0K/yr just for people to look at data they already own.

Open-source tools like Metabase change this math. They are the ultimate free BI tools because the software itself costs nothing. The only hurdle is hosting and maintenance. That is where Opsily comes in. We handle the servers, backups, and security so you can focus on the insights.
