For June 2026, BI & Dashboards Tools are compared for readers who need a source-visible analytics or dashboard option without treating popularity alone as proof of maintenance.
The ranking is limited to open/source-visible tools and sorts first by ToolVitals score, then uses GitHub stars as a secondary popularity signal when scores tie. The openness_label and license_label should be read as reported: Open core entries are not described here as OSI open source, while OSI-approved OSS entries are identified with their stated license_label.

Top 3 Highlights
Grafana ranks first with a ToolVitals score of 100, health score of 100, shipping score of 100, and 74,474 GitHub stars.
Metabase also has a ToolVitals score of 100, with health and shipping scores both at 100. It ranks second behind Grafana because it has fewer GitHub stars, 47,710 versus Grafana’s 74,474.
thunderbird-android ranks third with a ToolVitals score of 96, health score of 93, shipping score of 100, and 13,616 GitHub stars. It is labeled OSI-approved OSS with license_label Apache-2.0, but its supplied description is for an Android email app, making it an outlier in a BI & Dashboards ranking even though its scores are strong.
