What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Lightdash

Leader

A BI platform that anchors analytics in dbt-defined metrics and provides a governed semantic layer for organizations. Teams define metrics, joins, and business logic once, then access the data through dashboards, AI-powered Q&A, embedded analytics, or custom data applications, all with consistent governance and user permissions.

Independently observed

Omni

A semantic layer-based analytics platform that combines AI chat, dashboards, spreadsheets, and SQL tools in one interface. Users can ask questions about their data and get instant answers, while data teams maintain governance through a shared data model.
