Teams look past Domo when consumption credits make the monthly cost hard to forecast, or when Domo's ownership change raises questions about the product roadmap. Progress Software completed the purchase of Domo's AI and data platform business on 22 September 2026. Most buyers move to Zoho Analytics, Power BI or Metabase for a simpler bill.
Short answer: The closest replacements for Domo in our business intelligence software ranking are Zoho Analytics, Microsoft Power BI and Metabase. Choose Zoho Analytics if you want connectors and data prep in one tool but a tier you can read off a page. We took the other 10 from the Best Business Intelligence Software in 2026 ranking too, and each is compared with Domo alone, noting where staying put is the better call.
Visibility in our rankings can be paid for. Payment moves a vendor's position within the shortlist; it never adds a vendor, and it never changes a word of the review or of this page. The first three alternatives go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category, wherever the category has them; the established names follow in their ranked order. How it works: placement disclosure · editorial process.
Domo's pricing page describes credit-based pricing with no per-seat fees, where credits are consumed by storing data, updating tables, running workflows and ML inference. Unlimited users is the benefit. The cost is that your bill follows activity, not headcount, so it moves with your data volume.
Progress Software announced on 22 September 2026 that it had completed buying substantially all assets of Domo's AI and data platform business for $400M. Domo's platform is to join Progress's existing data platform offerings. Roadmap, support and contract terms may shift, so ask the sales team in writing.
Domo publishes no rate card. Beyond a 30-day free trial, the Custom Pricing route says to book a demo, and offers volume discounts and cloud-marketplace purchase. A buyer who needs a number for next year's budget has to wait for a quote.
Best replacement at the top. Each row ends with where we place that product among the 12 we rank.

Keeps connectors, data preparation and reports in one product, as Domo does, but sells fixed tiers by user count and row volume: Basic holds 2 users and 0.5 million rows, Enterprise 50 users and 50 million rows. The pricing page we fetched showed no prices, only a 15-day trial.
Switch from Domo if you want connectors and data prep in one tool but a tier you can read off a page.
Charges per person instead of per workload: Pro is listed at $14 per user per month paid yearly, Premium Per User at $24. Power Query covers data preparation, though ingestion at Domo's scale means Fabric capacity bought separately, and readers need licences once reports are shared.
Switch from Domo if most of your staff already hold Microsoft 365 licences and the bill should follow headcount.

Open-source edition is free to self-host with unlimited users, so you run it and your own database. Hosted Starter costs $100 a month with five users included. It queries tables you already have and offers no connector library or pipeline builder of the Domo kind.
Switch from Domo if your data already sits in a database and you want a free, self-hostable front end.
Sells capacity instead of credits: Starter lists $300 a month for 10 users and 10 GB, Standard $825 for 25 GB with no cost for extra users. Qlik says fixed capacity avoids the surprise bills of consumption pricing, and bundles Talend for moving data.

Centres on analyst-built visual exploration and leaves ingestion and storage to other systems, so it replaces Domo's dashboard layer only. Licences are per person by role. Tableau's pricing pages returned an access-denied error to us, so confirm today's rates with Salesforce.
Switch from Domo if your analysts care about visual exploration more than having pipelines and storage in the same product.
Hosted Apache Superset with a free Starter plan for up to 5 users and Professional at $20 per user per month billed yearly. Dashboards and a SQL editor, no Magic ETL equivalent. Embedded viewer licences are an add-on from $500 a month for 50 viewers.
Switch from Domo if your team writes SQL, and open-source roots matter more than a bundled pipeline tool.
Puts a shared semantic model under a workbook that offers point-and-click, spreadsheet formulas and SQL, and can reuse an existing dbt model. Priced by quote with a free trial. It queries a warehouse you operate and does not ingest SaaS sources itself.
Switch from Domo if a data team owns a warehouse and wants metric definitions governed in one model.
Runs workbooks live on a cloud warehouse, with Snowflake, Databricks, ClickHouse, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud named as connections. Offers a free trial; the pricing page we fetched printed no rates. Domo stores data itself, Sigma leaves it where it lives.
Switch from Domo if your finance and operations staff think in spreadsheets and the data already sits in a warehouse.
Answers typed questions with charts rather than hand-built dashboards. Essentials starts at $25 per user per month billed annually for 5 to 50 users and 25M rows; Pro starts at $50. A usage-priced route at $0.10 per credit exists, which feels closer to Domo's model.
Switch from Domo if you want business users to search their data in plain language instead of waiting for dashboards.
Defines metrics once in LookML, a modelling language kept in git, then lets users explore on top. Sold through Google Cloud by sales call, with ten standard and two developer users in every edition. It needs developers, which Domo's business-led setup does not.
Switch from Domo if you have developers who will maintain a modelling layer and want definitions reviewed like code.
Targets analytics shipped inside your own product: iframe or Compose SDK embedding, 400-plus connectors, and deployment as SaaS, in your own cloud or on-premises. A self-serve plan starts with a free trial; the Enterprise plan is quoted.
Switch from Domo if the dashboards are for your customers inside your product, and you need on-premises or private-cloud hosting.
Stay with Domo if your business teams lack data engineers and you value one vendor covering ingestion, transformation, storage and dashboards. Its pricing page lists more than 1,000 connectors, unlimited users and no per-seat fees, which suits wide internal adoption. Weigh that against the ownership change and ask what the Progress contract will say.
Dashboards are the visible part, but connectors and Magic ETL flows are what feed them. Domo's documentation covers exporting a DataSet as CSV or Excel from its Details view and a public API export endpoint, yet we found no documented way to export pipeline logic. List each flow and recreate it.
Excel export stops at one million rows and DataFusions cannot be exported, according to Domo's help page. Larger tables need the API, which returns CSV. Check row counts per DataSet before you give notice, so the history you want to keep fits the route you chose.
Yes, a DataSet can be exported as CSV or Excel from the Data Center, and Domo has a public API endpoint that returns DataSet data. Excel export is capped at one million rows, and DataFusions cannot be exported, so larger or fused tables need the API.
Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS) completed its acquisition of substantially all assets of Domo's AI and data platform business on 22 September 2026, paying $400M. Domo's own site carries a banner announcing this. The Domo, Inc. name in our category file predates the deal.
Domo charges credits for actions such as storing data, updating tables, running workflows and ML inference, with unlimited users. Alternatives usually charge by seat (Power BI, Preset), by data capacity (Qlik) or by a base fee plus users (Metabase), which makes a budget easier to forecast.
Probably, unless the new tool has equivalents. Domo lists 1,000-plus pre-built connectors. Zoho Analytics ships its own connector library and Sisense lists over 400, but Metabase, Looker, Sigma and Omni query a database or warehouse, so a separate ingestion tool may be needed.
Yes. Metabase's open-source edition is free to self-host, Preset has a free Starter plan for up to 5 users, and Omni, Sigma and ThoughtSpot offer free trials. Test with one real dashboard and the real data volume, since trial datasets hide the cost of scale.
We could not find a notice period on Domo's public pages, so we cannot state one. Termination terms sit in your order form and master agreement. Read both, and check how long your data remains retrievable after the subscription ends.
Each number and claim about Domo and its competitors was taken from the vendors' own websites on October 30, 2026; expect them to drift as those sites are edited.
