What is Preset?
Preset is built and run by the original creators of Apache Superset, and packages Superset as a managed cloud service: teams get dashboards, a SQL Lab-style query interface, and Superset's charting without operating the open-source project themselves. Because the underlying engine is open source, self-hosting Superset directly remains a free alternative for teams that don't want a managed offering.

Key capabilities
- Managed Superset: Hosted dashboards, charts and SQL exploration without infrastructure to run.
- Free Starter tier: Free forever for up to 5 users.
- Workspaces & RBAC: Multi-workspace access control on paid tiers.
Managed business intelligence and data exploration built on the open-source Apache Superset project.
Choose Preset when you want Apache Superset's capabilities without operating and upgrading the open-source project yourself. If budget is the primary constraint and you're comfortable self-hosting, compare the cost against running open-source Superset directly.
Because a free, self-hosted alternative (Superset itself) exists, the real evaluation question is what the managed hosting, support and workspace features are worth relative to running it yourself.
