Mode

What it does

Mode is a business intelligence platform that connects SQL, Python, R, and visual analytics in one place. It supports ad hoc analysis, advanced modeling, and self-serve reporting on governed datasets. Data teams and business teams use it to explore warehouse data and share interactive dashboards.

Mode is built for data teams that need to move between deep analysis and shared reporting. Analysts can write SQL, use Python or R notebooks, and build dashboards from the same platform. The pricing page lists a Studio plan for individual analysts with SQL, Python, and R, private database connections, and up to 3 users. The Pro plan adds schedules, permissioning, email and Slack sharing, and API access. The Enterprise plan adds custom data compute, advanced identity management, and admin-level API access. The homepage says Mode is the intelligence layer for your data stack and that teams can be up and running in 30 minutes or less. A buyer should check plan limits on query size and users, and confirm which features require higher tiers. The site notes that ThoughtSpot acquires Mode, so roadmap changes are possible.
