Why teams choose D23 over Metabase

1

Metabase is a closed SaaS platform. D23 is built on Apache Superset — open-source, auditable, and deployable into your own cloud.

2

D23 includes a managed data team that builds and maintains your dashboards, something Metabase leaves entirely to you.

3

AI text-to-SQL and embedded analytics are first-class features in D23. With Metabase they are add-ons or roadmap items.
