How it works
The platform is built for data teams that feed many tools from one warehouse. It offers a data modelling language, a caching layer for fast queries, APIs for every major BI tool and programming language, and access control down to the row. Cube Cloud is the managed version, adding hosting, monitoring, and team features.
Cube is free as open-source software, and Cube Cloud is priced by usage — check the official site for current cloud pricing. It is a strong pick for teams that need consistent metrics across many tools, though it is a developer-oriented product and adds a layer of complexity to a simple BI setup.
