KYMIRA VS BASEDASH
Basedash hosts an analyst for your team. Kymira installs the discipline in your agent.
Basedash is an AI-native BI platform: connect a warehouse, ask in plain language, it writes and runs the SQL, from $1,000 a month plus AI usage. Kymira is twenty-two certified-BI skills installed into the Claude Code or Cursor you already run, working from the exports on your own machine, $199 or $349 once.
| Kymira | Basedash | |
|---|---|---|
| How you buy | Checkout. No trial clock, no sales motion. | 14-day trial, then $1,000/month plus AI usage |
| Three-year cost | $349, total. Lifetime updates. | $36,000 and up, plus AI usage |
| Who it is for | The operator who owns the numbers | Teams; the entry plan covers up to 25 users |
| Where it runs | Inside your own agent. Claude Code or Cursor, on your machine. | Their hosted platform; self-hosting on the Enterprise tier |
| Where your data lives | It never leaves your machine. No new data surface exists. | Your warehouse, connected to their cloud; SOC 2 certified |
| Data sources | Any export or file your agent can read | 750+ connectors and warehouse access |
| How a number earns trust | By construction. Every figure ties to the source file's own totals, every check is fire-tested, and a mechanical gate fails the build rather than ship an unproven number. | By inspection: governed metric definitions, the SQL shown behind each answer, and a published accuracy benchmark |
| What you own when you stop paying | Everything. Plain-text skills, your reports, your definitions, forever. | Access ends with the subscription |
Two different buyers.
A team with a warehouse, a data budget, and twenty-five seats to fill is Basedash's buyer, and their accuracy work is real. Kymira is for the other person in that meeting: the operator with a folder of exports, an agent they already pay for, and no procurement cycle to wait on. You can be running verified outputs from your own Claude console in minutes, for a third of one month of the alternative.
Shown the SQL, or refused the ship.
The deeper difference is what happens when a number is wrong. Basedash's model is transparency: the SQL is shown so a person who reads SQL can inspect it. Kymira's model is refusal: figures must reconcile to totals the source file itself asserts, checks must prove they can fire, and the doctrine gate blocks the build when anything cannot be proven, so the wrong number does not ship in the first place. We catalogued the 51 ways AI-built reporting goes wrong, and built the skills to close every one.
