What is Hashboard used for?
Hashboard is a business intelligence tool that lets data teams build self-service analytics dashboards. Non-technical users can explore metrics, charts, and tables without SQL, while data teams manage everything as code with version control.
How does Hashboard differ from Looker or Metabase?
Hashboard takes a DataOps approach where data models are managed as code with Git version control and CI/CD pipelines. Looker also uses a code-first model (LookML) but is heavier to set up. Metabase is simpler to start with but lacks native Git integration and governed metrics at the same level.
Does Hashboard require a data warehouse?
Yes. Hashboard connects directly to cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and others. It queries your warehouse in real time with smart caching rather than storing a copy of your data.
Is Hashboard free?
Hashboard offers a free tier with limited users and core features. Team and Enterprise plans with advanced features like SSO, role-based access, and Git integration require contacting sales for pricing.
Can non-technical users use Hashboard?
Yes. Hashboard is specifically designed for data teams to build tools that non-technical users can operate independently. Users can explore data, add breakouts, change metric granularity, and build dashboards without writing SQL.
