FlowFrame is a collaborative analytics platform built for teams of any size — from solo analysts to growing startups. The node-based canvas lets you build data workflows visually, with a no-code query builder alongside a full SQL editor. Flat pricing ($49/month per workspace) means no minimum seat requirements and predictable costs as your team grows.
Flowframe is great if you:
Have a smaller or growing team with no minimum seat requirements
Want privacy-first analytics where query results are never stored
Need affordable, flat pricing that doesn't punish team growth
Want fast setup — connect a database and start querying in minutes
