Why this matters for Candid: The right Candid default for mixed / SQL-comfortable teams that may want embedding later. Metabase Pro at $575/mo unlocks interactive embedding cheaper than the dedicated embedded-analytics platforms (Embedded-analytics platforms (2026): Luzmo $995-3,100/mo embedded plans; Explo $795/Growth, $2,195/Pro; Cube Core open-source + Cube Cloud consumption; Embeddable still in beta) — useful intermediate path when client requirements grow.
