# Supaboard > Supaboard is the one AI agent that does the whole analyst job on your own database: answers with the SQL shown, dashboards, reports and alerts. Viewers are free. Supaboard is an AI agent for data analysis and business intelligence that works on your own database. For operators at companies with 50 to 500 staff whose business runs on a database but who cannot staff a data team, Supaboard is the one AI agent that does the whole analyst job: it answers questions on your live data and shows its working, builds the dashboards, reports and decks, runs the weekly review and the alerts on its own, builds internal tools and sheets, learns your definitions from every correction, and proves its accuracy on questions you already know the answers to. Unlike BI platforms that sell each job as an add-on, chat tools that stop at the answer, and warehouse AI that only serves its own customers, Supaboard does all of it from one agent, on your own database, with free viewers for everyone who reads the result. Every chart and number comes with the query that produced it, and your agent reads your business definitions with every question. Database and warehouse queries are read-only. Changes to connected apps require your approval. - Connectors: 12 databases and warehouses, queried read-only when a question is asked, and any tool with an MCP server, read live by agents (22 are ready to add), across 5 categories (Databases & warehouses, CRM & payments, Product & engineering, Docs & files, Communication & calendars). Nothing is synced. Spreadsheets and documents can also be attached to a conversation. - Plans: Free ($0, no credit card), Starter ($19/editor/month, or $16/editor/month billed annually — $190/editor/year), Individual ($99/editor/month, or $83/editor/month billed annually — $990/editor/year), Business ($249/editor/month, or $208/editor/month billed annually — $2,490/editor/year), Enterprise (custom). Prices are per editor, and the Free plan needs no credit card. - Product docs live at https://docs.supaboard.ai; the app itself is at https://web.supaboard.ai. - Machine-readable indexes: https://supaboard.ai/sitemap.xml and https://supaboard.ai/blog/rss.xml. - Every page below is also served as markdown: append `.md` to its path (https://supaboard.ai/pricing.md), or request it with `Accept: text/markdown`. - Published by Fyipen Private Limited, #210, 16th Main, Yellukunte, Indira Canteen Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
