Flare BI is business intelligence software for building dashboards and reports from loaded data, with deployment on customer servers running Windows or Linux. Its graphical ETL tool and SQL-like data-load language suit organizations that want to prepare data and build reporting in a self-hosted environment. The vendor lists fit across small, mid-market and enterprise organizations, with a free edition capped at 10 users and 1 GB of data. It is a fit for teams that want control over deployment and need data loading alongside dashboard creation, rather than a tool centered only on displaying live charts.

The feature set covers bar, line, area, pie and map charts, pivot-table visualizations, KPI boxes, interface components, and selection and drop-down filters. Integrated R support adds another option for working with data, while the administrative RESTful API and clustering support address administration and deployment needs. A push-reporting add-on is also listed. Streaming and custom data sources are supported. The listing does not establish dashboard sharing or a broad integration ecosystem, so teams whose evaluation depends on those workflows should compare alternatives before choosing Flare BI.

Pricing is organized by user limit and charged per server per month with annual billing: the free edition supports 10 users, followed by 25 users at $100, 50 users at $250, and 100 users at $500. The 250+ users plan is $1,000 and highlights unlimited users. The free tier's 1 GB data limit and lack of support make it more suitable for evaluation or smaller deployments than for teams that need vendor assistance. Paid plans include email support, according to the listed support channel. Choose Flare BI for self-hosted ETL and dashboarding with explicit user-based tiers; look elsewhere if verified sharing or integrations are central to your requirements.
