API

Basedash's public API, covering charts, dashboards, data sources and automations, is available to all Basedash workspaces. basedash.com, checked 6 Oct 2026 (opens in a new tab)

Your data

Basedash lets you export query results from any chart to CSV, JSON or Excel, but this is a per-chart export rather than a single export of every record. basedash.com, checked 6 Oct 2026 (opens in a new tab)

Contract

Basedash subscriptions start as one-month terms that auto-renew for the same length unless cancelled before the current term ends. basedash.com, checked 6 Oct 2026 (opens in a new tab)

Openness note

Public API on all plans. Per-chart export to CSV, JSON or Excel. One-month terms that auto-renew, cancel anytime before renewal.

What it does

Basedash lets you build data dashboards by describing what you want to track in plain English — no SQL (database query language) required. You connect your data sources, type a prompt, and Basedash generates charts, KPIs (key performance indicators), and layouts your team can use right away. It pulls from databases, data warehouses, and SaaS tools so all your numbers live in one place.

Strengths

No SQL knowledge needed — you describe what you want and Basedash builds it
Connects to 750+ data sources so you can unify all your business data in one dashboard
Live dashboard sharing keeps your whole team aligned on the same real-time numbers
Multiple chart types (line, bar, KPI cards, cohort tables, scatter plots) cover most reporting needs
14-day free trial with no credit card required lowers the barrier to getting started

Weaknesses

Pricing details are not publicly listed, making it hard to budget without booking a demo
AI-generated dashboards may need manual refinement if your data schema is complex or messy
Self-hosting and advanced features like semantic layer may be too technical for very small teams with no data staff

Key features

Generate full dashboards from a plain-English prompt — no manual SQL setup
Connect 750+ data sources including databases, warehouses, and SaaS tools
Chat with your data using AI to ask questions and get instant answers
Share live dashboards with your team so everyone works from the same numbers
Embed charts directly into your product for customer-facing analytics
Automate data workflows and get AI-generated daily data briefings

AI features

Basedash uses AI to generate dashboards from plain-English prompts, answer questions about your data via chat, deliver daily automated data briefings, and power data workflow automations.

STOA verdict

Basedash is a strong fit for small businesses that have data spread across multiple tools and want visual reports without hiring a data analyst. You get fast dashboard creation and a 14-day free trial to test it out — that's a real advantage. The tradeoff is that pricing isn't public, so you'll need to talk to sales before you know what it actually costs your business.
