Embedded analytics software puts charts, dashboards and AI questions inside your own product, so customers see them as part of your application.
This guide ranks twelve vendors on ninety-day setup effort, the bill once viewers and tenants grow, how data and dashboards leave again, vendor independence, and whether each one is built for software companies serving external customers.
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.
In short
What embedded analytics software does
Embedded analytics software lets a software company place branded dashboards, reports and AI-assisted queries inside its own application, with per-customer data isolation, so end users analyse their data without leaving the product.
Setup effort, true cost, data portability, exit options and buyer fit are the five tests, applied in that order to every embedded analytics tool here. A separate rule reserves the first three places for challengers and moves the household names to place 4 and below. For why these five were chosen, and why nothing here gets a numeric score, see how we work.
Embedded dashboards on a single annual plan with a visible entry figure
Ranked #1 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Published pricingEurope
On this page Luzmo leads because its entry price is printed: one plan, annual billing, a monthly allowance of 500 AI conversations and 100 million synced rows. End users can build and clone their own dashboards, and an MCP server plus agent endpoints are offered.
What remains unclear is the final invoice, since active-user scaling is settled at signature, and private infrastructure, custom SLAs and source-code escrow are reserved for enterprise contracts without a listed price.
What stands out
One plan
Annual billing
White-label
Where it costs you
Overage on synced rows is charged per extra million, so heavy data volumes move the bill.
Contracts may scale on monthly active users that are agreed only at signature.
Right for
Product teams wanting white-label dashboards with a visible annual entry price
Wrong for
Buyers needing private infrastructure without a sales negotiation
BelgiumOne plan with a published starting price, billed annually; usage component on top; enterprise quoted
Web-component analytics for apps, quoted as a flat monthly subscription
Ranked #2 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Pricing on requestEurope
Embeddable earns second place because the commercial model is simple: no per-user or per-row metering, so a customer-facing product with growing usage does not trigger overage.
Row-level security supports multi-tenant use, an AI chat answers in text or live charts, and caching is multi-tier. You lose the ability to compare quotes early, and the vendor does not say who owns the company or whether it can be installed in your own estate.
What stands out
Web component
Flat subscription
Row-level security
Where it costs you
The pricing page shows only a call booking, so a buyer cannot estimate cost before talking to sales.
Neither a trial nor a hosting option beyond connecting to your own data source is described.

Embedded analytics that run in your own AWS, Azure or GCP account
Ranked #3 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Pricing on requestNorth America
Qrvey places third because it answers the independence test directly: the stack lives in your account and the vendor is not in the data path. Unlimited users and dashboards remove per-seat growth, and live connect queries existing databases and warehouses.
The model-agnostic AI layer accepts OpenAI, Claude, Bedrock or a private model. Expect a heavier first ninety days than with a hosted tool, and an undisclosed price until you ask.
What stands out
Own-cloud deployment
Unlimited users
Two plans
Where it costs you
You run the Kubernetes deployment in your own cloud, which adds an infrastructure workload to the licence.
Prices are sent by email within a day of a request, with no figure on the site.

Hosted Apache Superset with a free starter tier and embedding licences
Ranked #4 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Free tierSelf-hostablePublished pricingNorth America
Preset suits a team that already knows Superset or wants it hosted. The free Starter lets you test with five people, the 14-day trial covers Professional, and workspaces can be managed as code through the API.
Its chatbot is grounded in a semantic layer. Plan for the licence arithmetic: each block of 50 embedded viewers carries a monthly fee, so costs grow with your customers' audience rather than your own headcount.
What stands out
Apache Superset
Free starter
Viewer licences
Where it costs you
Embedded dashboards require viewer licences on top of per-user plans, so customer-facing use costs more than the headline rate.
The additional workspaces on Enterprise are not numbered on the page.
Right for
Teams that want published prices and a Superset base they can leave
Wrong for
Products with thousands of external viewers on a tight budget
Real-time analytics API layer with a free tier and usage pricing
Ranked #5 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Free tierPublished pricingNorth America
Tinybird fits when the embedded surface is custom code and the hard part is querying large, fresh data. Git integration and automatic schema migrations suit engineering workflows, and a hosted MCP server is available.
The vendor states it is not affiliated with ClickHouse. Pricing follows compute and storage, which is predictable for steady traffic but needs attention when a customer-facing feature spikes. Nobody on the business side can self-serve here.
What stands out
Analytics APIs
Free tier
Kafka connectors
Where it costs you
It ships no dashboard builder in the facts reviewed, so your developers write and maintain every customer-facing chart.
The Developer plan is described as starting at two different monthly figures on one page.
Right for
Developer-led teams embedding fast event data into their own interface
Wrong for
Customers who expect drag-and-drop dashboards from day one

Modelled BI with three published plans and separate embedded pricing
Ranked #6 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Self-hostablePublished pricingElsewhere
Holistics is better read as an internal BI tool that also embeds than the reverse. The Entry plan caps reports at 100, while Standard removes that cap, and each plan includes a first block of ten users.
Webhook alerts and SSO with SCIM sit on the page for governance. The gaps are practical: embedded pricing is elsewhere, no free plan exists, and hosting model and ownership cannot be confirmed from the pages read.

Guided data apps for SaaS products, sold as a managed service
Ranked #7 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Pricing on requestElsewhere
This vendor sells outcomes more than tooling: an expert builds the data app, so the first ninety days cost less internal effort than with an SDK. Metrics are governed and contextual, and AI models from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Mistral AI can be used.
The compromise is dependence on the vendor's own team for changes, and the facts reviewed do not settle where the company sits or whether a customer-run install exists.

Analytics with cloud, hybrid and on-premise options on every plan
Ranked #8 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Self-hostablePublished pricingElsewhere
Knowi is the choice when deployment flexibility matters more than a printed price. Choosing among cloud, hybrid and on-premise needs no change of plan, and startups and 501(c)(3) nonprofits get discounts.
The record limit on ElasticStore grows with the tier, so data volume, not just users, decides which plan you need. Read the Terms of Service: the company is Knowi, Inc., governed by California law, but its location is not otherwise given.
What stands out
On-premise option

Each plan caps internal users at 5, 10 or 20, which constrains teams building analytics for many staff.

Embeddable BI from Syncfusion with cloud and on-premise licences
Ranked #9 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Self-hostablePublished pricingNorth America
Bold BI stands out for the clarity of its licence ladder: a per-user cloud price, per-user and per-application on-premise prices, then custom quotes for managed private cloud.
145 connectors, row-level security and SSO through Okta, Auth0, Azure AD or Keycloak come into play on the self-run editions. An AI Copilot builds charts without SQL. Start with the community licence if you qualify, and check the revenue and headcount limits yearly.
What stands out
Syncfusion product
Community licence
On-premise
Where it costs you
The hosted edition lacks SSO and multi-tenancy, pushing embedded buyers towards a self-run or custom-quote option.
Syncfusion is the parent, so independence from a larger group is weaker than at single-product rivals.
Right for
Small software firms embedding one application under the community licence terms
Wrong for
Multi-tenant SaaS vendors who only want a hosted edition
United StatesCloud and on-premise prices published; community licence for small firms; 30-day trial
AI data analyst with embedding, priced from a published startup tier
Ranked #10 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Self-hostablePublished pricingElsewhere
Basedash is closer to an AI analyst for your own staff than to an embedded-first toolkit, and it ranks lower for that reason. Self-hosting is described as running inside your VPC, even air-gapped, with your own model keys, which helps security reviews.
It connects Snowflake, BigQuery and Databricks. Ask for the embedding terms early, since that feature is not on the published plan, and the facts reviewed give no company country.
What stands out

Where it costs you
Embedding is listed under the quoted Enterprise tier, not the published Startup plan.
AI usage fees come on top of the monthly price, so the bill varies with query volume.

Customer-facing dashboards from a vendor now joining Omni
Ranked #11 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Self-hostablePublished pricingElsewhere
Explo does the embedded job in plain terms: customer-facing dashboards, an AI report builder customers can use, data sharing and emailed reports. Dedicated hosting and region-specific stacks are listed under security.
It is ranked low only because of the Omni announcement, not because of a product defect we found. Ask the vendor in writing what happens to the Pro plan, and to your contract term, once the move completes.
What stands out

Joining Omni
Where it costs you
The vendor announces it is joining Omni, which leaves the roadmap and pricing after the move unconfirmed.

Long-running embedded BI with SDKs, plans quoted and a self-serve tier
Ranked #12 of 12 in Best Embedded Analytics Software in 2026.
Self-hostablePricing on requestElsewhere
Sisense is positioned for software companies that want to decide exactly where intelligence appears in their own product. The Compose SDK and iframe embedding give two routes, and dedicated cloud or on-premise deployment is on the Enterprise list.
Its position in the lower half reflects test four: the plans page shows no amounts, the company's country and ownership are not given on the pages read, and the fastest route to a price is a sales conversation.

Embedded analytics software lets a software company place branded dashboards, reports and AI-assisted queries inside its own application, with per-customer data isolation, so end users analyse their data without leaving the product. Differences that change the outcome seldom sit in the features. Here is the sequence we would follow.
01
Work out how much a sales call is worth to you
Prices are public at 8 products (Luzmo, Preset, Tinybird, Holistics, Knowi, Bold BI, Basedash, Explo) and on request at the remaining 4, so budget time for quotes if your favourite is in that second group.
02
Decide how much the jurisdiction matters
These 12 vendors are established in 4 countries across 3 regions (Elsewhere 6, North America 4, Europe 2). That decides whose disclosure law applies to what the vendor holds, wherever the servers are.
Embedded analytics software: what you pay as customers grow
The first quote hides the part that matters, which is what changes when your customer count rises. Luzmo prints a starting figure and then adds synced rows and, in some contracts, monthly active users. Preset sells embedded viewer licences in blocks of 50, so every new audience adds a fee.
Embeddable and Qrvey avoid per-user metering, one with a flat subscription and the other with unlimited users, but both quote privately. Bold BI prices one application at a flat monthly rate regardless of user count. Take your expected tenants, viewers and data volume at the end of year two, and ask each vendor to price that exact picture, not today's pilot.
Model tenants, viewers and rows at the end of year two
Ask which unit triggers overage: viewers, rows, requests or seats
Request the renewal uplift terms in writing
Hosted, own cloud or on-premise: where the analytics run
Deployment decides your ninety-day workload and your exit. Qrvey runs as containers in the buyer's AWS, Azure or GCP tenancy, which moves operations to your team. Bold BI and Knowi run on your servers, and Sisense offers shared SaaS, a dedicated cloud, or an install at the customer's site.
Luzmo and Explo run the production layer for you, with private or dedicated options at the top tier. The hosted Cloud Edition of Bold BI leaves out SSO and multi-tenancy, features embedded products rely on. Decide first whether a security review forces data to stay in your account; if it does, half the list is out before pricing starts.
Check whether multi-tenancy and SSO exist on the edition you would buy
Confirm who patches and scales the install
Ask for the deployment option in the quote, not just on the website
Dashboard builder or analytics API: how much you build yourself
These products split into those that give customers a builder and those that give developers a query layer. Luzmo and Explo let customers create or edit reports, and Toucan Toco has an expert build the data app for you. Tinybird publishes queries as APIs and leaves every chart to your engineers, which suits a custom front end and punishes a team that wanted drag-and-drop.
Embeddable offers a single web component for React, Vue or plain HTML. Match the product to your staffing: a small team without front-end capacity will struggle with an API-first tool, while a design-heavy team may find a builder too constrained.
Decide who builds charts: your engineers, the vendor or your customers
Prototype one real customer dashboard in the trial
Check that styling can match your product exactly
Vendor stability and exit: Explo joining Omni and other ownership questions
An embedded layer is hard to replace, because dashboards sit in front of your customers. Explo announces it is joining Omni, so contract terms and roadmap deserve a written answer. Bold BI belongs to Syncfusion, Preset builds on Apache Superset, and Sisense, Basedash and Holistics state no owner on the pages we read.
Luzmo offers source-code escrow at enterprise level. Before signing, ask how dashboard definitions, metrics and data models export, whether they can be rebuilt elsewhere, and what notice you get if the vendor is acquired. A trial of seven to thirty days is rarely long enough to test that.
Ask how dashboard and metric definitions export
Request a change-of-control clause for acquisitions
Check whether escrow or a perpetual licence is available
What goes wrong most often when buying embedded analytics software
Judging a vendor by the first quote, when viewer licences, synced rows or usage fees arrive only after launch.
Testing with one internal dashboard instead of a real multi-tenant build with row-level security across customers.
Choosing an API-first tool such as Tinybird without front-end capacity, or a builder when the design must be fully custom.
Ignoring ownership news, such as a vendor joining another company, until the renewal letter arrives.

Frequently asked questions
7 answers
What is the best embedded analytics software in 2026?
Luzmo takes first place among the 12 we reviewed. Luzmo sells a single plan with a published starting figure of EUR 1,995 per month on annual billing, which makes budgeting simpler than in this category's quote-only vendors.
The plan caps AI conversations and synced rows, and some contracts scale on monthly active users agreed at signature. The trial is described without a length. Private infrastructure and escrow of the source code sit behind a sales call.
Which embedded analytics tools publish their pricing?
8 out of 12 state a price model on their own site:
Luzmo: One plan with a published starting price, billed annually; usage component on top; enterprise quoted.
Embeddable and Qrvey are the next two on this page. Embeddable is for Engineering teams who want one embeddable component and a predictable monthly fee; Qrvey is for Software vendors that must keep customer data inside their own cloud account.
Who should not buy Luzmo?
Buyers needing private infrastructure without a sales negotiation. Overage on synced rows is charged per extra million, so heavy data volumes move the bill..
