I'm a huge fan of Metabase and I've used it extensively but the pricing model is really tough.

Taking myself as an example: At the growth stage we're at, we'll start to need more data access logging/auditing, per row permissions to guard PII, etc. but I can't justify going from free to 10k/yr to our board quite yet.

It would be great if the cloud option could introduce some of those features (not all) at a price point that makes it easier for more startups to sign on like mine as we keep growing. Right now it feels like I need to leave Metabase as our needs expand and hope that at some point down the line, we can justify the cost and come back to it.

Happy to come across. Love metabase.

In business plan, does 'Isolated Application Server' and 'No Noisy Neighbors' mean the same ?

effectively, yes. For that tier, we give you a dedicated instance that runs the Metabase application and a dedicated instance for the application database

We've been working on a hosted version of Metabase for a while , and we're happy to formally pull back the covers.

Over the years we've tried to make self-hosting as easy as possible, but lots of companies have let us know they'd prefer a fully managed version of Metabase. So... here it is!

https://www.metabase.com/blog/Announcing-Metabase-Cloud/inde... has the official announcement, but if you have any questions, fire away =)

Can we switch our self-hosted site to Metabase cloud?

Yup! There's a command-line tool that snapshots your current site and lets you upload it to our hosted platform.

This looks awesome! Exciting next step.

Congrats, great to see this available!
