Row-level security + white-label — every plan, no upgrade required
Tier pricing from $99/mo — zero per-seat surprises
Bootstrapped. No VC. You talk to engineers.

Most BI tools charge for accounts that sit idle

Power BI, Tableau, and Metabase all charge per named user — whether they log in or not. Buy 50 seats for your team or clients. If only 12 open a dashboard this month, you're still billed for 50. White-label and row-level security? Those cost extra on top.

If you don't fix this, you either absorb the cost — killing your margin — or pass it to clients, killing the deal. Or you skip BI entirely and keep emailing Excel files, because no tool has ever justified the cost of giving everyone access.

Give everyone an account. Pay only for who logs in that month.

Your tier sets the limit, not your headcount

Pick a tier — 5, 30, or 100 MAU. Create accounts for your whole team or every client. Only people who actually log in that month count against your limit.

Email recipients never count

Send scheduled reports to hundreds of stakeholders via email. They never need to log in — so they never touch your MAU limit.

Row-level security + white-label: included

Not a premium add-on. Not an enterprise tier. Every plan ships with the features other vendors charge thousands a month to unlock.

Connect. Build. Share.

No ETL pipeline. No data warehouse required. Connect directly to your database, build dashboards visually or in SQL, and deliver them to your team or clients — under your brand.

Agencies & Consultants

You serve dozens of clients. You're tired of emailing static PDFs, manually updating Excel reports, or paying per-seat for tools your clients barely open. You want to deliver reporting as a service — and charge for it.

  • White-label everything — your brand, your domain, zero DashboardFox branding
  • Manage all clients from one admin dashboard
  • Each client sees only their data — automatically, no per-report setup

Data Teams

Your analysts want SQL flexibility. Your business users want drag-and-drop simplicity. You've been told you can't have both without enterprise pricing — and you're tired of gatekeeping access to reports.

  • Raw SQL and stored procedures for power users
  • No-code builder for everyone else
  • Connect directly to your database — no ETL, no syncing pipeline

Growing Businesses

You bought 30 licenses because you thought you'd need them. Six months in, only 12 people actually use reports. You're paying for software sitting idle — and white-label or row-level security would cost extra anyway.

  • Pay only for users who actually log in each month
  • No penalty for adding occasional or seasonal users
  • Unlimited reports, dashboards, and data sources

More than a logo swap — configure the entire experience

Control your brand, your domain, and which features each audience can see. Same platform, completely different experiences. Your clients never know DashboardFox exists.

  • Your domain, logo & colors
  • Zero "Powered by" badges
  • Per-client feature control
  • Included in every plan

We have no say in what you charge your clients. Your DashboardFox price stays flat. Charge clients whatever you want for the reporting layer — we never see that relationship. Most agencies use this to turn reporting from a cost center into a revenue line. Charge 10 clients $150/month for reporting and your $249 Growth plan becomes $1,251 in monthly profit.

What counts as an MAU

A monthly active user is anyone who logs into the dashboard at least once during the calendar month. Log in 20 times? Still counts as 1.

Email recipients don't count — ever.

Send scheduled reports to 500 stakeholders. If they only receive email, they never touch your MAU limit. Zero.

What if we have a busy month?

Nobody gets locked out. Here's exactly what happens when you're trending toward or over your limit:

  1. We warn you first. You'll get a notification when you're trending toward your limit — not a lockout. Time to decide what to do.
  2. There's built-in cushion. Every plan has buffer above the stated limit. One spike won't break anything or trigger billing surprises.
  3. Add capacity in seconds. Purchase +10 MAU blocks anytime from your dashboard, or upgrade your plan. No contracts, no calls, no approval process.

From city hall to the Fortune 500.

DashboardFox runs on the same BI engine organizations of every size have trusted for their reporting since 1999 — many of them for more than a decade.

Our roadmap was built from lost deals, not a pitch deck.

We've been building BI software since 1999. The problem hasn't changed: tools are either too expensive for small teams or too simple to be useful. Enterprise vendors charge per seat, lock security behind premium tiers, and require dedicated IT staff. So most teams end up emailing Excel files — because they can't justify the cost of giving everyone access.

DashboardFox is built by 5000fish — bootstrapped for 25 years, no venture capital, no pressure to chase enterprise deals. One codebase, refined through real-world use across government, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.

When you reach out, you're talking to engineers who build the product. When you give feedback, it shapes what we ship next week — not next year.

AI that's grounded in your data — and can't leak it

AI features are coming to DashboardFox. We're building them on the same foundation as everything else — your semantic layer and your security model — so they'll be useful without being dangerous.

Security enforced by the platform, not the model

Coming AI features are being designed so they can't see across your row-level security — access is enforced by DashboardFox itself, never left to the model to honor.

Grounded in your semantic layer

Because it will read the fields, joins, and calculated expressions you've already defined, it's being built to answer from your real data model — not to invent columns that don't exist.

Frequently asked questions

DashboardFox fox mascot
A monthly active user is anyone who logs in at least once during the calendar month (1st to end of month). Log in 20 times? Still counts as 1. Your plan tier defines your MAU limit — Starter is 5, Growth is 30, Scale is 100. If you give accounts to 150 people but only 18 log in, only 18 count. People who only receive scheduled reports never need to log in and don't count toward your limit at all.
We don't cut you off. There's built-in cushion above your plan limit and we send you a warning when you're trending over — giving you time to add a +10 MAU block or upgrade before anything changes. No surprise lockouts, ever.
Data Tags are simple values you assign to users once — things like ClientID=42 or Region=West. DashboardFox automatically filters every report by those tags, so users only ever see the data they're allowed to see. No per-report configuration needed.
Yes. Branding policies control your domain, logo, colors, login page, and emails — plus which features are visible to each audience. There are no "Powered by" badges anywhere. It looks and feels like your own platform from day one.
Native connections to SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and Oracle are included on all plans. Cloud warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift connect via ODBC drivers — availability varies by plan. You can also upload Excel or CSV files, or pull data from REST APIs including Google Sheets.
Yes — free for 7 days, no credit card required. Click once to extend 7 more, for 14 days total. Need more time? Just reach out — no sales call required.
No for most users. If you understand your data and how reports work — selecting fields, applying filters, and using formulas — you can build reports with no code and drag-and-drop. For advanced needs, we also support raw SQL and stored procedures.
No. No contracts, no setup fees, and no bait-and-switch pricing. Annual plans are non-refundable, but what you see is what you pay — we think that's how software should work.
7-day free trial — no credit card
