Dune

Dune is the outlier in this category. Instead of a fixed catalogue of vendor metrics it hands you SQL over normalised blockchain tables and lets you publish whatever you build. The site as read on 8 August 2026 claims more than 130 chains and 1.5 million datasets, with over 200,000 public dashboards and 6.5 million queries already written by other people. A large share of the charts quoted in crypto journalism began as somebody's public Dune query, and you may fork any of them provided you credit the author, a condition written into the terms rather than left to etiquette.

There are four tiers, with fifteen per cent off annual billing. Free costs nothing and comes with one seat, 2,500 monthly credits, 100 megabytes of storage, a two-minute query timeout and one alert. Analyst at 65 dollars a month brings three seats, 4,000 credits, a thirty-minute timeout and scheduled queries. Plus at 349 dollars a month brings ten seats, 25,000 credits, private queries and dashboards, comma-separated exports and role-based access. Enterprise is quoted individually and adds curated premium datasets, a dbt connector into Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks, single sign-on, service level agreements and 100,000 credits upwards.

Credits, not seats, decide what you actually pay. Every execution and every export draws on the monthly allowance, and the compute engine you select changes the burn rate sharply. Dune's own worked example shows one sample query costing roughly 3.27 credits on the small engine, 8.46 on medium and 18.72 on large, buying a fall from sixty-three seconds to seven. Overage runs at 0.016 dollars per credit on Analyst and 0.014 on Plus. Exports are punished on cheaper tiers too: twenty credits per megabyte on Free against two on Plus.

Two details deserve attention before anyone builds a workflow on this. The licence first: Free, Analyst and Plus are all marked internal use only, and a commercial redistribution licence exists solely on Enterprise, so republishing Dune output inside a paid product or newsletter needs a contract. Second, an ambiguity we could not resolve from the site alone. The Free plan card describes 'view-only access to all of Dune', yet the feature table below it still lists Free with 2,500 monthly credits, one concurrent query and a two-minute timeout. If running your own queries without paying is the deciding factor, confirm it with Dune before committing.

Accuracy sits on the user, and the terms say so bluntly: the service is supplied as is, may contain inaccuracies and typographical errors, and 'should not be relied on as such'. Much of what you query was modelled by the community rather than by staff, and the built-in assistant, which the terms say routes through Anthropic as the language-model provider, can return plausible but wrong SQL. A dashboard is only ever as trustworthy as the query behind it, and that query was usually written by a stranger.

The operator is Dune Analytics AS, a Norwegian company with business registration number 921 400 349, founded in Oslo in 2018 and, per its own about page, employing around fifty people on eighty million dollars raised. Norwegian law and the General Data Protection Regulation apply, with disputes heading to Oslo District Court. It custodies no funds and brokers nothing, so financial licensing is simply not part of the picture here.
