Open source under Apache-2.0, with dashboards over SQL databases. It needs a server and setup first, so it suits data teams more than people who want a ready-made service. Highly flexible visual analysis with many data connectors and sharing options, but paid per-user licenses and a free edition that publishes publicly. Power BI is the usual lower-cost alternative.
