Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Apache Superset.
Metabase
An open-source analytics tool for querying databases and building dashboards, with or without writing SQL.
Metabase is also a self-hostable open-source analytics tool, with a visual query builder for non-SQL users and AI answers, though some features sit in paid plans.
Redash
An open-source web app for querying data sources and sharing the results as dashboards.
Redash is an open-source self-hosted app for shared SQL queries and dashboards with scheduled refresh and alerts, and is aimed mostly at SQL-literate users rather than a no-code builder.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Apache Superset as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
Hex
An analytics platform with an AI data assistant, notebooks, dashboards and interactive data apps.
Apache Superset is free, open source and self-hosted, focusing on no-code charts and a SQL IDE rather than notebooks, and you must run the server yourself.
