Questions people ask
Is Cube Core the Same as Commercial Cube?
No. Core is the open-source semantic layer. Commercial Cube adds the broader analytics platform; don't assume every commercial feature is included in Core.
Does Cube Replace Your Warehouse or dbt?
No. Your warehouse stores and processes the underlying data, and dbt can continue running transformations. Cube adds shared definitions and governed access above them.
Do You Need to Know How to Code?
Business users can ask questions through Analytics Chat. Someone still needs the technical knowledge to review models, relationships, and permissions.
Can You Self-Host Cube?
Yes, through Cube Core. Its backend is Apache 2.0 licensed. You take responsibility for running the infrastructure.
Do Cube Seats Include Unlimited AI?
No. Paid on-demand seats have individual grants, with paid overage beyond them. Administrators can cap monthly overage spending.
