Redash

What is Redash?

Browser-based SQL editor that turns queries on 35+ data sources into shared charts and alerts.

Who is Redash best for?

Redash is best for SQL-literate analysts and small data teams who want to query databases and share dashboards for free.

• Sharing SQL results

  Each query, chart and dashboard has its own URL, and teammates can review the SQL behind any chart.

• Many data sources in one place

  Built-in connectors cover PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Google Sheets and dozens more.

• Keeping an eye on numbers

  Scheduled refreshes keep dashboards current, and alerts fire when a query result meets a condition you set.

• Automating reports

  A REST API covers everything the interface does, so scripts can create queries and pull results.

How much does Redash cost?

Redash is free open source software under the BSD 2-Clause licence; the hosted Redash service was shut down, so you run it on your own server.

There is no paid plan. The maker closed hosted Redash at app.redash.io, so the only cost is the server you run it on. Full pricing on github.com. We checked these prices on 8 Nov 2026.
