Overview

ClicData brings data integration, transformation, analytics, visualization, and automation together, with embedded analytics aimed at software products. It is a broader foundation than a dashboard-only tool: connectors and data flows feed a warehouse and data lake, alongside analytics and automation. Founded in 2008, its maker is based in Lille, France.

Teams can embed dashboards in an application through an IFRAME or DIV container and apply CSS for a white-label appearance. That suits products that need reporting to feel part of their own interface; teams seeking only standalone charts may not need the wider data stack.

Key features

Connectors and data preparation

ClicData says it offers more than 500 connectors, including Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, and Stripe. Its Web Service connector supports SOAP, REST, and GraphQL, several payload formats, and eight authentication methods. This range gives product teams multiple routes for bringing service and business data into analytics.

An AI-powered data flow designer supports cleaning, transforming, and augmenting data. SQL and Python are also available for analytics and machine learning, giving technical teams options beyond visual data preparation. The warehouse and data lake provide storage within the same platform, though the cloud plans still impose monthly table-update ceilings.

Embedding and security

IFRAME or DIV embedding, CSS styling, and white-label analytics support an integrated product experience. Row-level security and SSO support are relevant when access needs to be controlled across users. ClicData states that it holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, and complies with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. It says database data and log files are encrypted at rest using TDE, while server, database, and client communications use TLS 1.2 or higher.

Support options include in-app chat on certain plans or as an add-on, plus support tickets, email, online documentation, and video tutorials. Chat is not a uniform inclusion, so teams that depend on it should confirm its availability for their chosen plan.

Pricing

ClicData uses freemium pricing, with a free plan, and offers cloud, enterprise, and self-hosted options. The named paid plans have custom pricing. Basic, Team, and Enterprise offer yearly or monthly billing options; yearly plans require a 12-month commitment and are paid yearly or quarterly in advance.

Plan	Included limits and features	Who it suits
Basic	Up to 25 users, 5,000 table updates and 5,000 AI credits per month; unlimited dashboards, reports, and data flows; data warehouse and data lake.	Smaller embedded deployments that can stay within the lowest listed cloud quotas.
Team	Up to 50 users, 15,000 table updates and 15,000 AI credits per month; unlimited dashboards, reports, and data flows; data warehouse and data lake.	Growing teams that need more seats and refresh capacity than Basic allows.
Enterprise	Up to 200 users, 25,000 table updates and 30,000 AI credits per month; unlimited dashboards, reports, and data flows; database connectors and SSO.	Larger deployments needing higher listed quotas and SSO.
Standard	100 users, 250 GB to 4 TB of data warehouse capacity, at least 1 TB of data lake, and 50,000 table refreshes per month.	Teams with substantial refresh needs and capacity requirements.
Performance	100 users, 500 GB to 16 TB of data warehouse capacity, at least 1 TB of data lake, and 50,000 table refreshes per month.	Teams needing more warehouse capacity than Standard's stated range.
Self Hosted	100 users, at least 1 TB of data lake, and 50,000 table refreshes per month.	Organizations that want a self-hosted deployment.

On the named cloud tiers, unlimited dashboards and reports do not mean unlimited data processing: user, table-update, and AI-credit limits rise by tier. Standard and Performance specify warehouse capacity and 50,000 monthly refreshes, while Self Hosted specifies users, data lake, and refreshes. Compare those distinct limits against the expected workload before choosing; all six named paid plans use custom pricing.

Platforms

ClicData supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and API access, with self-hosted and hybrid deployment options. That combination can accommodate teams choosing between a hosted service and a deployment they manage, though the listed platforms alone do not establish feature parity across deployment types.

Who it's for

ClicData is best suited to software companies embedding customer-facing reporting and dashboards, especially when they also need data connectors, preparation flows, and storage in one platform. It is less compelling for a small team that needs only basic visualization, or for a buyer who must compare paid products by public price before engaging with a vendor.

Pros and cons

Pros: More than 500 stated connectors plus SOAP, REST, and GraphQL support give teams multiple ways to integrate data.
Pros: IFRAME or DIV embedding with CSS white-label styling is directly suited to dashboards inside a software product.
Pros: Data flows, warehouse and data lake, analytics, visualization, and automation span more of the reporting pipeline than visualization alone.
Cons: Paid plan prices are custom, making straightforward cost comparison harder.
Cons: Cloud tiers cap users, table updates, and AI credits, so a growing product may need to move up a tier even when dashboards and reports are unlimited.

Alternatives

Consider Jaspersoft if you want a free Community edition with JasperReports Library, Jaspersoft Studio, pixel-perfect reports, and data visualizations; its commercial edition is also available. Bold BI is worth comparing if you want either fully managed cloud hosting or an on-premises option, with no per-user or per-viewer fee for its cloud edition.

Toucan may suit buyers who prefer published monthly pricing and unlimited users: its Start plan is 445.00 EUR per month with 50,000 credits, while Grow is 990.00 EUR per month with 100,000 credits. Choose Yellowfin Embedded Analytics if a paid embedded product with a free trial and usage-aligned pricing model is a better fit. ThoughtSpot offers published annual-billing prices of 25.00 USD per month for Essentials and 50.00 USD per month for Pro, which may suit buyers prioritizing a price they can compare upfront.

icCube is another paid embedded analytics option. DataReportive offers a free trial with embedding and white-label features, making it worth considering for a trial-led evaluation. Logi Composer is another option for teams considering analytics software with custom pricing. Readers comparing broader categories can also browse Embedded Analytics Software, Data Visualization Software, and Business Intelligence Tools.

Verdict

Choose ClicData if your software product needs embedded, white-label reporting backed by integrated data preparation and storage. The breadth of its stack is the main reason to choose it; custom pricing and tiered processing limits are the reasons to look elsewhere if price transparency or uncapped growth is central to the decision.
