Choosing a BI or dashboard tool means balancing what it does with how healthy and actively shipped it is. This August 2026 snapshot uses ToolVitals data, including ToolVitals scores, health and shipping scores, openness and license labels, and GitHub star counts, to make those comparisons explicit.
Only open/source-visible tools are included. Tools are ordered by ToolVitals score descending, with health and shipping used for equal composite scores; GitHub stars provide context only and do not determine rank.
