Reveal BI is a solid embedded analytics SDK, but your engineers have to run its server inside your backend, and you can't see a price without asking for a quote. Here are five Reveal alternatives, what each costs, and who each suits. For a wider comparison, see our roundup of the best embedded analytics tools in 2026.
Why look for a Reveal BI alternative?
Reveal, from Infragistics, is an embedded analytics SDK. Its client ships as a web component that works in React, Angular, Vue, and Blazor, so dashboards render natively in your app. The homepage promises "No iFrames, no redirects, no separate tools." The server side is a component you add to your own backend, in .NET Core, Java, or Node.js.
That setup has three trade-offs:
- No public price. Reveal's pricing page describes "one fixed, predictable pricing" with unlimited users, but you have to request a quote. The FAQ adds that "The initial pricing is per application."
- Backend work. Your team hosts the server SDK and writes the code that tells it who each user is and which database each tenant uses.
- New tenant controls. Built-in row-level security only arrived in SDK 2.3.0, released on November 5, 2026.
Teams usually look elsewhere because they want a published price or less analytics code to maintain.

Prices come from each vendor's own pricing page, checked on November 12, 2026.

| Draxlr | $75/month ($250/month with row-level security) | Flat, unlimited embed viewers | Signed embed URL |

1. Draxlr
Draxlr connects straight to your SQL database, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, BigQuery, Snowflake, and ClickHouse. Where Reveal runs a server SDK inside your backend, Draxlr needs one thing from your code: a signed embed URL that carries each customer's attributes.
Draxlr then applies row-level rules to every dashboard element. Your team builds dashboards with a visual query builder or a SQL editor, and Full App Embed gives each customer their own workspace with a query builder, SQL editor, and AI assistant.
Pricing: White-labeled embedding starts at $75 per month on Premium. Row-level security and Full App Embed start at $250 per month on Power. Embed viewers are unlimited on every plan, and there's a 7-day free trial.
Best for: SaaS teams on a SQL database who want customer-facing dashboards live in days, without adding analytics code to their backend.
Connect your Database2. Bold BI
Bold BI comes from Syncfusion, another UI component vendor, which makes it the closest match to Reveal. It has JavaScript SDKs for React, Angular, Vue, .NET, and Blazor, plus an iframe option, and your customers can create dashboards inside your app. Its Code View lets you write custom SQL.
Pricing: On-Premises costs $499 per month for 100 users, then $3 per additional user, or $1,999 per month per application with unlimited users. Cloud starts at $999 per month for 100 users. There's a 30-day free trial.
Worth knowing: Bold BI's pricing FAQ says Cloud Edition "does not support multi-tenancy or SSO," so multi-tenant SaaS embedding means On-Premises or Managed Private Cloud.
Best for: Teams that like Reveal's SDK approach but want prices they can see up front.
3. Embeddable
Embeddable shares Reveal's no-iframe approach. Charts render through one web component that "drops into any app," and your engineers keep data models and components in their own repo, then push them to Embeddable through its SDK. It queries your database directly.
Pricing: Quote only. Embeddable's pricing page offers "a flat monthly subscription" with "No usage-based pricing."
Best for: Frontend-heavy teams who want analytics to feel native to their product and are happy to own the code.
4. Luzmo
Luzmo is built only for embedded analytics. It ships embed packages for web components, React, Angular, Vue, and React Native, and its editor lets your customers build their own dashboards with drag and drop.
Pricing: One plan, Embedded Everywhere, starts at €1,995 per month, billed annually, with usage metered on top.
Best for: Funded teams whose customers want to build their own dashboards. See our guide to Luzmo alternatives for more options.
5. Metabase
Metabase is a popular open-source BI tool with a query builder, a SQL editor, and an AI assistant. Its closest answer to Reveal's SDK is the Modular embedding SDK for React, which Metabase's docs say "is only available on Pro and Enterprise plans."
Pricing: The open-source edition is free to self-host. Pro costs $575 per month with 10 users included, then $12 per user per month. Metabase's pricing page says "Everyone who signs in to your Metabase counts as a user, including people who sign in to your embeds."
Worth knowing: Metabase's docs warn that groups with SQL editor access can bypass row and column security.
Best for: Teams already running Metabase internally. See our guide to Metabase alternatives for more options.
How to choose a Reveal BI alternative
- Choose Draxlr for white-labeled dashboards on a SQL database without running analytics code in your backend.
- Choose Bold BI if you want an SDK like Reveal's with published prices.
- Choose Embeddable if your engineers want analytics defined in your own codebase.
- Choose Luzmo if customers want drag-and-drop dashboard building and the budget fits.
- Choose Metabase if you already use it and per-user pricing works at your scale.
- Stay with Reveal if you want native components, data that stays on your servers, and engineers ready to own the integration.
Frequently asked questions
1. Does Reveal BI use iframes?
No. Reveal's client SDK ships as a web component, and its homepage promises "No iFrames, no redirects, no separate tools." Among the alternatives, Embeddable also renders through a web component instead of an iframe, and Bold BI offers a JavaScript SDK alongside its iframe option.
2. How do Reveal BI alternatives keep each customer's data separate?
Most use row-level security. Your backend signs a token or embed URL that carries the customer's ID, and the tool filters every query by it. Reveal added built-in row-level security in November 2026, and Bold BI's Cloud Edition doesn't support multi-tenancy, so test isolation on the plan you'll actually buy.
Bottom line
Reveal suits teams that want native components, data that stays on their own servers, and engineers ready to own the integration. If you'd rather see a price up front or skip the backend work, choose based on where your data lives and who will maintain the analytics. Then test tenant isolation the way a real customer would, and price each tool at the customer count you expect a year from now.
