Mode
FreemiumSQL-first analytics platform combining a collaborative query editor, Python and R notebooks, and interactive dashboards in one workspace for data teams.
What is Mode?
Mode is a cloud-based analytics platform purpose-built for data analysts who want to write SQL, run Python or R notebooks, and build shareable dashboards all in one place without switching between tools. The shared SQL editor lets analysts write, save, and organize all their analytical work collaboratively, while the Helix in-memory data engine streams query results for fast, interactive filtering. Python and R notebooks are natively integrated, enabling advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, and custom visualization within the same report. Mode was acquired by ThoughtSpot in 2023, reinforcing its position as a bridge between analyst-grade SQL tooling and business-user-friendly reporting. The platform is designed for analytics-forward companies that need a single platform to unite data teams and business stakeholders around analytical work.
Key Features
How to Use Mode
✅ Best For
- Data analysts and analytics engineers who want to write SQL and run Python or R notebooks in one place and share polished, interactive reports with business stakeholders without switching between multiple tools.
- Analytics teams at mid-size SaaS and technology companies that need a centralized platform for both ad-hoc analysis and recurring stakeholder reporting, replacing a fragmented stack of SQL editors, notebooks, and dashboarding tools.
❌ Not For
- Non-technical business users who need a no-code, drag-and-drop analytics experience, as Mode's core workflow is SQL-first and assumes familiarity with writing queries.
- Large enterprises requiring advanced data governance, fine-grained role hierarchies, or SSO without upgrading to the Enterprise plan, as these features are gated behind higher-tier pricing.
