| Compare | Luzmo | Metabase |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | SaaS teams embedding customer-facing dashboards | Startups wanting free BI on existing databases |
| Who it's not for | Internal-only BI . use Metabase or spreadsheets | Teams with nobody to own hosting and patching |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.⁸ | Active 2026 vulnerability stream . four critical CVEs including an unauthenticated SQL injection; prompt patching is non-optional.13 |
| Support quality | Users cite great support (vendor-cited) | No support-quality evidence in sources |
| Public sentiment | Users across G2, Capterra, AWS Marketplace, and Reddit praise ease of use, flexibility, and responsive support.¹ | Users like the query builder and SQL access; recurring gripes are exports, dashboard customization, and slow queries on big datasets. |
| Biggest gotcha | Three pricing editions exist; viewer and usage limits aren't public . expect a sales call | Self-hosting means you own patching; 2026 fixes spanned 55.13, 56.3, 57.1 and later |
