FnordMetric vs Mode: What are the differences?
What is FnordMetric? Create charts and dashboards from SQL. FnordMetric allows you to write SQL queries that return SVG charts rather than tables. Turning a query result into a chart is literally one line of code. FnordMetric allows you collect and visualize timeseries data using only SQL. It enables you to build beautiful real-time analytics dashboards within minutes.
What is Mode? SQL-based analytics tool that helps analysts query, visualize, and share data. Created by analysts, for analysts, Mode is a SQL-based analytics tool that connects directly to your database. Mode is designed to alleviate the bottlenecks in today's analytical workflow and drive collaboration around data projects.
FnordMetric and Mode can be categorized as "Business Intelligence" tools.
Some of the features offered by FnordMetric are:
- Line Charts
- Area Charts

On the other hand, Mode provides the following key features:
- Write, save, and share SQL queries with other analysts in your company. Empower non-technical folks to update queries on their own. Run queries on a schedule, create lists of related reports, and explore a project's history as it changes over time.

Very easy-to-use UI. Good way to make data available inside the company for analysis.
Has some built-in visualizations and can be easily integrated with other JS visualization libraries such as D3.
Can be embedded into product to provide reporting functions.
Support team are helpful.
The only complain I have is lack of API support. Hard to track changes as codes and automate report deployment.
