What is Mode Analytics?
Mode Analytics is a business-intelligence and reporting tool built around a SQL editor, embedded Python/R notebooks, and shareable interactive reports/dashboards, aimed at data analysts rather than pure drag-and-drop BI users. ThoughtSpot acquired Mode for $200 million in a deal announced June 2023 and completed in July 2023; Mode continues to operate and ship updates as a distinct product within ThoughtSpot.

Mode AnalyticsAnalytics & BISQL/Python BI and reporting, now part of ThoughtSpot
Key capabilities
- SQL editor: Query directly against connected warehouses.
- Notebooks: Python and R analysis alongside SQL.
- Interactive reports: Drag-and-drop charts and shareable dashboards built on query results.
Where Mode Analytics fits
SQL-first business intelligence and reporting for data analysts, now developed under ThoughtSpot's ownership.
Positioning and limitations
Shortlist Mode when your analysts want SQL and notebook-level flexibility with shareable reports, not just a drag-and-drop dashboard builder. Because Mode is now a ThoughtSpot product, also evaluate ThoughtSpot's own AI-search-driven BI tool as a related option from the same vendor.
Since the ThoughtSpot acquisition, it's worth confirming Mode's current roadmap and support commitments directly rather than assuming it will remain a standalone product indefinitely.
