Lightdash stands out as the top fully OpenSource BI solution seamlessly integrated into dbt projects

Lightdash is a powerful platform for enterprise data analytics. Its OAS-compliant API provides a comprehensive framework for building custom integrations, while its role-based permissions and user attributes ensure that sensitive data is protected. The product's clean and responsive UI makes it a joy to use, and its scheduled delivery integrations with productivity tools like Email, Slack, and Google Sheets make it easy to deliver content where it is needed outside the UI. Lightdash's modeling language and it's Developer Project Preview features are both impressive. The language is powerful and intuitive, while the Project Preview allows users to test new models, charts, and dashboards without affecting production.

Looker but easier to implement and fraction of the price

Lightdash is very similar to Looker in terms of user experience, which made it really easy to adopt given the familiarity. Particularly like the fact that you can define your metrics in your dbt project, which makes it simple to get started. This combined with their CLI tools make it very developer friendly. Also, there's an open source version but even if you're using their cloud product, it's a fraction of the price vs Looker.

ex-Looker user who is loving Lightdash

It's similar to Looker but open source and even the cloud offering is much more reasonably priced. If you are using DBT, it integrates much better with Lightdash configurations living in the same repo as DBT. This removes a major source of headache keeping two repos in sync.
