Why Metabase Pricing is Broken
Most BI tools charge you a 'viewer tax.' You build a dashboard to help your team make better decisions, but then you get hit with a bill for every person who looks at it. Metabase Cloud starts affordable at $100/mo, but as your team grows, those $5 and $10 per-user fees add up fast.
The Cloud vs. Self-Hosted Divide
Metabase offers two paths: Cloud or Open Source. The Cloud versions (Starter and Pro) handle the hosting but lock you into per-user billing and US-based servers. The Open Source (OSS) edition is free and powerful, but managing it yourself usually requires an expensive DevOps engineer or complex AWS infrastructure costing $200/mo or more.
Opsily gives you the third way. We host the official Metabase Open Source edition on dedicated German infrastructure. You get the power of Metabase without the 'per-user' billing or the server management headache.

Metabase Cloud Starter for 50 users costs $325/mo. The Pro tier costs over $900/mo. Opsily hosts the same capabilities for a fraction of that cost.

Common Questions About Metabase Pricing
Yes. Metabase Open Source is licensed under AGPL, which allows you to use it for your business for free. When you host it on Opsily, you are only paying for the managed infrastructure and our support, not the software itself. This makes it the most cost-effective way to deploy BI for large teams.

We were paying per user on everything and it added up fast. Now we run five apps for less than one of those old plans. My finance team finally stopped asking questions.
