Yurbi

What it is

Yurbi is a self-hosted embedded analytics platform. It lets a software company give its own customers a no-code report builder and dashboards inside the company's product, under its own brand and on its own domain. The company behind it is 5000fish, and the site also lists done-for-you services and support.

The reader it targets is an ISV or SaaS company whose customers keep asking for reports. The site's promise is that after a one-time configuration, "customers are self-sufficient" and "your dev team is permanently out of the report-writing loop." It also pitches teams still running Crystal Reports, SSRS or Izenda. The pages name no headquarters or founding year.

What you build and how

You do not build an app here. You configure a reporting layer once, and your customers build their own reports and dashboards on top of it. The site says the setup connects to the data you have configured and gives customers "20+ chart types, ready to use": bar, line, area, pie, donut, gauge, scatter, map, cross-tab, combo and more, with no chart library to integrate and no custom rendering code.

The editor is a no-code, drag-and-drop ad-hoc report builder. Customers drag fields, pick a chart type and set filters, and build reports from the data you set up for them. The site's framing is "No SQL. No ticket to your dev team." A semantic layer maps database fields to user-friendly names and applies row-level security as people build, according to the comparison page on the site.

Dashboards come next. Customers arrange charts and grids into personal or shared dashboards. Smart Filters slice across all panels at once, and a feature called FastCache keeps dashboards loading quickly under load.

Delivery is covered. Reports can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly and sent as PDF or Excel, and every report or dashboard can be exported to PDF, Excel or CSV with the current filters applied. The site says App Shield makes sure each recipient of a scheduled delivery gets only their authorized data.

The data layer is deliberately light. Per the FAQ, Yurbi "queries your existing application database directly in read-only mode," with no ETL pipeline, no data warehouse and no new infrastructure. For legacy replacement, the site says it connects to the same SQL Server databases that Crystal Reports and SSRS use, so you don't rebuild from scratch.

Multi-tenancy is the center of the product. Each tenant is assigned to a security group that controls which database, schema or filtered view it can reach. App Shield "injects data-level constraints directly into the SQL query at execution time" on every report, dashboard, scheduled delivery and export. The site's claim is that tenant isolation runs at query time rather than in your app code, and that it "cannot be bypassed." It works with shared databases using row or schema filtering, and with per-tenant separate databases through dynamic routing.

For embedding, the site's own blog says Yurbi embeds via iframe or API, with the no-code builder available to end users. The pages describe a white-labeled result that sits at an address such as analytics.yourclient.com.

Where it runs is a deliberate choice. Yurbi installs on your own infrastructure: Windows Server, Linux or Docker. The FAQ says it is "fully air-gap capable with no required outbound connections to 5000fish servers" and that it never transfers your data externally.

What the pages say about cost, support and proof

Pricing is published, with the line "no sales call to see a number." The plans, per year:

• Starter: $10,000 a year, up to 75 users
• Growth: $18,000 a year, up to 250 users
• Scale: $24,000 a year, up to 500 users
• Unlimited: $30,000 a year, unlimited users

Additional deployments cost $500 per deployment per year, and the FAQ adds that there are volume discounts after your first 10. The site says every feature is in every plan, so the tiers differ by user cap only. If your user count grows, "nothing changes until you cross your plan's user cap," and moving up means paying the difference, with no per-user penalty and no consumption billing. The site's blog states the same terms as "flat annual pricing" with no per-user overage and no capacity metering.

The site also offers a free trial download and a live demo. It does not state how long the trial runs. The pages mention a support section and say the team answers questions directly, "not a support queue." No customer count is stated.

The site claims it is "the only embedded analytics platform that's self-hosted, flat-tier, priced per deployment, and fully published." That is the company's own comparison claim, and the pages carry head-to-head pages against Izenda, Crystal Reports and GoodData, written by Yurbi.

The pages name no compliance certification. Yurbi's regulated-environment pitch rests on the architecture: self-hosting, read-only database access and the air-gap option.

Who it suits and who it does not

Yurbi suits an ISV or SaaS team that wants to ship customer-facing reporting without building a reporting layer, and wants to know the price before talking to anyone. The flat tiers help when the number of end users is hard to predict: the cost steps up at 75, 250 and 500 users rather than growing per seat. It also suits teams replacing Crystal Reports, SSRS or Izenda on SQL Server, and teams whose customers require the software to stay on their own servers or inside an air-gapped network.

An ops team that wants internal dashboards on top of its own application database can use the same tools. The report builder, dashboards, scheduled delivery and exports are not limited to external customers.

It does not suit every buyer. The company is open about gaps: its blog says Yurbi has "no AI or natural-language analytics yet," so a team that needs AI-assisted analysis today should look elsewhere. Its comparison page also says that if a deep governed metrics repository is your main need, GoodData leads there and Yurbi doesn't match it, because Yurbi's semantic layer is built for self-service inside a product. Self-hosting means your team installs, updates and runs it. And the site presents it as an embedded analytics tool for software companies, so a solo founder wanting a hosted dashboard in an afternoon is not who the pages are written for.
