Periscope Data is a cloud-based business intelligence analytics and distribution platform. Periscope Data has taken the pain out of data loading by directly connecting to your data sources with no messy ETLs.

Periscope visualizes your data into charts, graphs and dashboards. All you need to do is to write SQL queries in Periscope and it returns charts and reports and dashboards that you can share or embed.

Periscope is licensed by the number of data rows you share with Periscope. You can have unlimited users. Your Periscope package includes Unlimited Charts, Unlimited Users, Dashboards, Unlimited Embedding and white-labeling, and Unlimited Support.

Pricing of packages start at $1,000 a month for up to 1 Billion rows of data and scale linearly from there. There is no annual commitment, you can pay month to month.

You can take advantage the Periscope caching tool at no additional cost. Caching reduces load on your database, results in faster performance and gives you the ability to upload csv’s and do cross database joins. Your query speeds will run 150x times faster with Periscope caching.
