# Bold BI by Syncfusion Bold BI by Syncfusion is an embedded analytics and business intelligence platform. It puts white-labeled, multi-tenant dashboards and an AI Copilot inside your application, connects to 145 data connectors, runs in the cloud or on-premises, and is licensed per user, per application, or as an enterprise license. Multi-tenancy is available in Managed Private Cloud and On-Premises, not Cloud Edition. SSO (OAuth/SAML) is available in self-hosted deployments, not Cloud Edition. > Analytics your product owns and your team didn't have to build. ## How does Bold BI's AI Copilot answer questions about your data? Bold BI has 3 AI surfaces on one AI engine: AI Copilot builds a chart from a plain-English question using your connected data, and the AI Agent answers questions about a dashboard without changing it. What the AI model receives depends on the action. - [AI analytics](https://www.boldbi.com/ai-analytics/) ## What are the two ways to use Bold BI? Bold BI runs as embedded analytics (white-labeled, multi-tenant dashboards inside your own SaaS product) and as self-service BI (no-code dashboards for your teams), on one platform. - [Embedded analytics](https://www.boldbi.com/embedded-analytics/) - [Self-service BI](https://www.boldbi.com/self-service-analytics/) ## How does Bold BI embed analytics inside your product?

Bold BI is rated 4.4 out of 5 on G2 and 4.9 out of 5 on Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice (checked October 6, 2026). It holds the G2 Leader, High Performer (EMEA) and Regional Leader (Americas) badges for Fall 2025, and the Visual Studio Magazine Reader’s Choice badge for 2025. ## What should I know before I start with Bold BI? Bold BI includes 24/5 support by chat, email and WhatsApp on every edition, with unlimited support tickets and guided onboarding. ### Will my customers know the dashboards aren't built in-house? Bold BI dashboards can be fully white-labeled, so your customers see only your brand. Fonts, colors, logo, domain — everything is yours, and there's no Bold BI branding anywhere your customers can see. ### Our data is sensitive. Is it safe to use the AI features? What the AI model receives depends on the action. Building a visual sends only the schema (table names, column names and data types); text answers send the schema plus processed data; summaries and widget insights send the widget name, type, axis names and data points. On-premises deployments can use their own OpenAI, Azure OpenAI or Anthropic key (Anthropic needs v16.1.90 or later), while Cloud Edition uses the Bold BI AI Service. ### Can we run this on our own servers? Bold BI runs on your own Windows or Linux servers, in Docker or Kubernetes, or in the cloud — your call. ### We're not a technical team. Can we still use this? Bold BI's drag-and-drop dashboard designer lets people build dashboards without writing any SQL. And if you get stuck, just type what you want to see — the AI Copilot will build a first draft for you. ### Will our bill go up every time we add a new user or customer? Bold BI is licensed per user, per application, or as an enterprise license. Prices are published: from $499 a month self-hosted and from $999 a month on Cloud Edition, in USD, before taxes, and the license price is not usage-metered. Only Managed Private Cloud and enterprise licenses are by custom quote. ### How hard is it to get set up? A first Bold BI dashboard takes minutes on Bold BI Cloud, days on Managed Private Cloud, and weeks On-Premises. There's no proprietary language to learn, no complex modeling layer to set up first. And if you hit a snag, support is free and unlimited — not a paid add-on. ### Comparing Bold BI with other BI tools - [Embedded analytics buyer's guide](https://www.boldbi.com/embedded-analytics-buyers-guide/) - [Bold BI vs Power BI](https://www.boldbi.com/power-bi-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Tableau](https://www.boldbi.com/tableau-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Looker](https://www.boldbi.com/looker-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Qlik Sense](https://www.boldbi.com/qlik-sense-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Sisense](https://www.boldbi.com/sisense-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Domo](https://www.boldbi.com/domo-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs ThoughtSpot](https://www.boldbi.com/thoughtspot-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Yellowfin](https://www.boldbi.com/yellowfin-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Dundas BI](https://www.boldbi.com/dundas-bi-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs GoodData](https://www.boldbi.com/gooddata-alternative/) - [Bold BI vs Panintelligence](https://www.boldbi.com/panintelligence-alternative/) ## Can I try Bold BI before I buy?
