Metabase Nonprofit Discount & Pricing

Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and analytics platform that enables organizations to ask questions about their data and visualize the answers through beautiful dashboards—all without writing SQL or having technical expertise. Designed for teams who need to turn raw data into actionable insights, Metabase connects to dozens of databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Google BigQuery, and more, transforming complex data queries into intuitive point-and-click explorations that anyone on your team can perform.

For nonprofits, Metabase offers a powerful solution for tracking program outcomes, monitoring fundraising performance, analyzing donor behavior, reporting to boards and funders, and making data-driven decisions across your organization. The visual query builder lets program managers create their own reports without bothering IT, while the dashboard system enables real-time monitoring of KPIs like donor retention rates, volunteer hours, program enrollment, and campaign performance. Metabase's Metabot AI feature allows team members to ask questions about data in plain English, receiving charts and insights without needing to understand database schemas or query languages.

Metabase offers a completely free, open-source self-hosted version that nonprofits can run on their own servers with unlimited users and no artificial limits—making it an exceptional value for organizations with technical capacity. The paid cloud-hosted versions (Starter from $100/month, Pro from $575/month, Enterprise custom pricing) add managed hosting, advanced permissions, white-label embedding, and premium support, though these paid tiers do not currently offer nonprofit-specific discounts. Organizations should evaluate whether the free self-hosted version meets their needs before considering paid cloud plans.
