icCube vs Sumboard

icCube is an embedded analytics platform for B2B SaaS products, designed to bring analytics into a maker’s own application. It connects to relational data, IoT sources and custom connectors, with incremental loading and built-in ETL. Its in-memory dimensional model adds a semantic layer that translates raw data terms into business-friendly terms; Extended MDX supports multidimensional queries, and native Java integration is available. Teams can build printable, multi-layout dashboards with charts, tables, maps, filters, reusable gadgets and custom visualizations. JavaScript APIs enable two-way communication and parameter passing between the embedded analytics and the host application. Security can rely on the host application's authentication and authorization, alongside fine-grained cell-level roles and row-level security. The software runs on customer infrastructure or cloud, including behind firewalls, and is not a hosted solution. Pricing is paid, starting at 1950 /mo; there is no free plan, though a free trial is advertised. icCube is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Sumboard is a low-code platform for embedding interactive, customer-facing analytics in B2B SaaS products. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, MariaDB, MongoDB, and REST APIs. Dashboards support interactive filters, period comparisons, scheduled email reports, PDF and Excel exports, and white-label customization. The SDK installs from npm and supports simple embedding, token parameters, and application filters. Sumboard says token-based authentication limits each customer to its own data. It does not store customer data except cached information, removed when the cache timeout expires. Servers are hosted in Europe on OVH infrastructure; Sumboard says it inherits certifications and standards including ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 1, and SOC 2. Growth costs €199 a month and includes up to 10 embedded dashboards, unlimited viewers, up to 10,000 scheduled emails monthly, unlimited dashboards and data sources, and email support. Business costs €499 a month. A 30-day business-plan trial is available. Customer self-service dashboard building is planned, while teams can configure dashboards now.
