Taleshape

Taleshape provides open source, SQL-first data dashboards, reports, and customer-facing analytics built into a product. It is aimed at teams that want to add embedded analytics without building those features from scratch, and the page describes the result as dashboards and reports embedded directly in the product.

The core workflow centers on SQL. The page says users write SQL queries and Shaper handles dashboards, reports, exports, and embedding, with dashboards described as SQL code in Git so changes are auditable. It also names multi-source querying with DuckDB, interactive filtering and drill-downs, full CSS white-labeling, and automated PDF and PNG report generation, Excel and CSV data exports, scheduled email delivery, and task orchestration through SQL. The text also mentions row-level security via JWT, React and JavaScript SDKs without iframes, Slack and Teams notifications, and a REST API for automated exports. A live demo is offered.

Taleshape says it is powered by Shaper, its open-source engine. It says the product can be run anywhere, that users can use a managed service for convenience, and that they can switch to self-hosted anytime. The page also states that data stays in the user's infrastructure and never leaves the user's network.

Pricing is described as a flat fee with unlimited users, contrasting with per-user seat licenses in legacy BI tools. The site links to cloud pricing and documentation, and it frames the offering as a way to build analytics features quickly while keeping control over infrastructure and avoiding vendor lock-in.
