What are the best embedded analytics alternatives?

Top alternatives include Sumboard (€199/mo, 10-min integration), Looker (€60K-€88K/year enterprise), Tableau (~€50K+/year), Power BI (usage-based), Luzmo (usage-based), and Metabase (open-source). Choice depends on company size, budget, and technical resources.

How much do embedded analytics platforms cost?

Enterprise solutions (Looker, Tableau, Sisense) cost €50K-€88K/year + per-user fees. Mid-market platforms range €20K-€50K/year. Developer-friendly options (Sumboard, Luzmo) cost €500-€5K/month. Open-source (Metabase) is free but has €30K-€50K hidden TCO for hosting and maintenance.

What's the difference between iframe and SDK embedding?

iFrame embedding loads analytics in a separate frame (simpler but slower, limited customization). SDK embedding integrates directly into your app code (faster, fully customizable, better UX). SDK-first platforms like Sumboard offer superior performance and white-labeling capabilities.
