 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.
