VERDICT
Should I use Dune?
The industry standard for onchain data - dune.com
Depends. Buy if your team works with onchain data and has someone comfortable with SQL. Skip it if you need simple token lookups or your data isn't on a blockchain.
Confidence
Medium. Based on ~10 usable sources. Many crawled results were unrelated 'Dune' namesakes (film, shoe brand, board game, media player); snippets were truncated and some details thin.
