Teams reconsider Sisense when they cannot see a price before a sales call, when they want to know who owns the vendor, or when they would rather run analytics inside their own cloud account or on a lighter, cheaper component. The options below range from flat-subscription web components to hosted open source tools and bring-your-own-cloud platforms.
Short answer: The first three alternatives to Sisense in our embedded analytics software ranking are Embeddable, Luzmo and Qrvey. Our rule for order: vendors outside the big brands go first, and the largest names are not placed in the top three. Choose Embeddable if you want a flat subscription and a drop-in component rather than an SDK. Every one of the 11 products below comes from Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026, with a note on how it departs from Sisense.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Pricing: Enterprise quoted; self-serve tier shown without prices; trial offered
Established in: Not stated by the vendor
Built for: Larger vendors that want SDK-level control and dedicated deployment options
Not for: Small teams needing a visible price and a quick start
01
Why buyers look past Sisense
01
Plans are quoted, not priced
Sisense's pricing page shows two plans, Enterprise and Self-serve, and neither carries a price or a usage limit. Enterprise says to talk to the company. Self-serve offers a Try free button without a stated trial length. A buyer cannot model cost per customer or per viewer before a demo is booked.
02
The ownership question stays open
The pages we read name no headquarters country, parent company or trial terms. For procurement teams that need to place a supplier by jurisdiction, that gap has to be closed by asking, and it is easier to compare vendors that state it.
03
Enterprise scope may exceed a product team's need
The Enterprise plan lists dedicated cloud, on-premise, a 30-day backup, HIPAA readiness, SSO Router and a customer success manager. A small SaaS team that wants a few dashboards inside its own app may be paying for scope it does not use, while the self-serve tier gives no limits to plan against.

What each one does differently

Embeddable
United Kingdom · On request
Embeddable, run by TMD Technology Limited in London, ships dashboards as a single web component that works in React, Vue or plain HTML. Metrics follow Cube-based data models. It charges one flat monthly subscription with every feature included, quoted by project. No price is printed, so you still end up asking.
Switch from Sisense if you want a flat subscription and a drop-in component rather than an SDK.
Luzmo is Belgian and prints a starting figure of EUR 1,995 a month on annual billing for its single plan. Caps apply to AI conversations and synced rows, and some contracts scale on monthly active users agreed at signature. Source-code escrow and private infrastructure require a sales call.
Switch from Sisense if a visible entry price in euros and white-label dashboards come first.
Qrvey installs as Kubernetes containers inside an AWS, Azure or GCP account you control, single-tenant with zero data egress by default. Its Pro and Ultra plans both state unlimited users, dashboards and data, and a flat-rate perpetual licence exists. Pricing arrives by email after a form, and your team operates the cluster.
Switch from Sisense if data must never leave your own cloud account.
Preset hosts and manages Apache Superset, so the core is open source and leaving later is simpler. A free Starter covers one workspace and up to five users, Professional is billed per user, and Enterprise is quoted. Embedded viewers need separate licences sold in blocks of 50.
Switch from Sisense if you want an open source engine under a published price list.
Tinybird loads events from Kafka, S3 or GCS and publishes queries as APIs that your own front end calls. The free plan allows 1,000 requests a day without a card, and Developer adds CPU and storage with per-second overage. It draws no charts, so your developers build every visual.
Switch from Sisense if your engineers prefer to draw the charts and only need fast query APIs.
Holistics shows three plans in USD, SGD or EUR with a trial button on each, and ten users are included before extra seats are billed monthly. Embedded analytics has its own pricing page. Data centres exist in the US, EU and APAC, and it works with Snowflake, BigQuery and dbt.
Switch from Sisense if you model data in dbt and want published tiers with a choice of region.
Toucan Toco builds a Custom App with one of its experts for a yearly price per department. Unlimited users and data apps are included, plus 2,000 questions a month with AI costs covered. A trial month comes first. The self-service Studio tier shows no prices or limits.
Switch from Sisense if you would rather have a vendor build guided data stories for you.
Knowi discloses limits instead of prices: Basic has 5 internal users and 2M records, Team 10 and 15M, Enterprise 20 and unlimited records. Cloud, on-premise and hybrid are open on every plan, and the 21-day trial needs no payment details. Internal-user caps fit badly with large outside audiences.
Switch from Sisense if you need on-premise or hybrid hosting on a small internal team.
Basedash publishes a Startup plan for up to 25 users with AI credits included and AI usage billed on top. Its core idea is an AI analyst answering questions over synced sources. Embedding and self-hosting belong to the quoted Enterprise tier, so the published plan does not cover customer-facing dashboards.
Switch from Sisense if an internal AI analyst matters more than customer-facing embedding.
Explo's home page says it is joining Omni, which a long-term buyer has to weigh. The Pro plan is tiered by your customer count, with white-labelled dashboards and CSV, PDF and Excel export. Enterprise adds custom on-premise deployment. The trial lasts 7 days.
Switch from Sisense if you want published tiers that grow with your customer count and accept the Omni change.
Bold BI is made by Syncfusion, a components company, and publishes both cloud and on-premise prices, including a flat per-application option for unlimited users. A Community licence covers one embedded app under a revenue and headcount ceiling. The hosted edition cannot do SSO or multi-tenancy, so embedding needs your own server. A 30-day trial is offered.
Switch from Sisense if you will host on Windows or Linux and want a licence for a small firm.
You need data to stay inside your own cloud account
Qrvey: It deploys as Kubernetes containers in your AWS, Azure or GCP account, single-tenant with zero data egress by default.
02
You want an open source core with published prices
Preset: It hosts Apache Superset, with a free Starter for up to five users; embedded viewers are licensed in blocks of 50.
03
You want one flat subscription and a drop-in component
Embeddable: Dashboards arrive as a single web component for React, Vue or plain HTML, on a flat subscription quoted by project.
04
You want to see a euro starting price before talking to sales
Luzmo: A single plan lists EUR 1,995 a month on annual billing, with caps on AI conversations and synced rows.
05
Your own developers will draw the charts
Tinybird: It publishes queries as APIs, and the free plan allows 1,000 requests a day.
04
When Sisense is still the right choice
Sisense stays sensible when you need an established embedded platform with several routes: SaaS, dedicated cloud or on-premise, a 99.99% premium SLA written into the contract, and full white-labelling. Its Compose SDK, APIs and iframe give developers control over where analytics appear, and row-level security and SSO are on the list. If those contract terms are why you bought it, the missing public price is a negotiation point rather than a reason to leave.
05
What moving off Sisense involves
01
Dashboards and data models need rebuilding
Widgets, formulas and the semantic layer sit in Sisense's own format, so expect to recreate them in the new tool. Rebuild your three most-used dashboards first and compare numbers with the old ones before moving the rest.
02
Embedding code and tenant rules change
Whatever you built with the Compose SDK, APIs or iframes is tied to Sisense. List every place a customer sees an embedded chart, and map each tenant's row-level rules into the new tool before the first customer switches.

Questions about replacing Sisense
6 answers
How much does Sisense cost?
Its pricing page shows no figures. Enterprise says to contact the company and Self-serve gives a Try free button with no price or limits. Luzmo prints a starting figure of EUR 1,995 a month on annual billing.
Does Sisense offer a free trial?
The Self-serve plan links a Try free button to its app, but the page does not give a trial length. Knowi names 21 days, Bold BI 30 days, Explo 7 days and Basedash 14 days.
Can I run embedded analytics in my own cloud account?
Qrvey deploys inside your AWS, Azure or GCP account. Sisense lists dedicated cloud and on-premise on Enterprise, and Knowi, Bold BI and Explo's Enterprise tier also describe on-premise routes.
Is there an open source route?
Preset hosts Apache Superset, which makes leaving easier than with closed tools. Embedded viewers need separate licences sold in blocks of 50.
Which tools state where the company is based?
Luzmo lists Belgium, Embeddable a London entity, and Qrvey, Preset and Tinybird the United States. Sisense's pages we read do not state a country.
What is the cheapest published way to start?
Preset has a free Starter for up to five users, and Tinybird has a free plan of 1,000 requests a day. Check each page, because embedding often sits in a paid or quoted tier.
