Footprint Analytics

What it is

A dashboard builder over somebody else's index, with the drag-and-drop half and the SQL half in the same product. The application is a fork of Metabase, which the documentation says outright, and that inheritance is the reason the two halves fit together: in Metabase every drag-and-drop question is an abstraction over SQL, so a chart built by clicking can be opened as a query and kept going. If the thing stopping you from using a SQL platform is that you do not write SQL yet, this is the shape that lets you start on one side and finish on the other.

Of the three products in this category it is the first one — a query surface over indexed data, not a labelled dashboard and not a curated metric set. Footprint does ship prepared research pages for chains, DEXs, NFTs, GameFi and wallets, but those are dashboards built in the same tool rather than a maintained metric set with definitions behind it, and the tool is what you are signing up for.

What makes it worth a look at all is that the free plan is unusually complete: SQL, Python notebooks, unlimited charts and unlimited dashboards, with the paid plan buying capacity and privacy rather than features. What makes it worth reading the rest of this card is that the product has been getting quieter for about a year.

Pricing

Two plans. Free is $0 with a 1 GB data limit per query, five CSV uploads and unlimited charts and dashboards. Team is "Let's Talk" — the page carries no figure for it, and neither does the documentation. What the quoted plan actually buys is legible from the comparison matrix: a 30 GB per-query limit instead of 1 GB, private uploaded data, private dashboards, watermark removal, unlimited CSV upload and customised dashboards. Two of its rows — customised alerts and team collaboration — are marked "coming soon", on a paid plan.

The free plan's real cost is publicity. Uploaded data cannot be kept private, dashboards cannot be kept private, and watermarks cannot be removed. Anything you build on the free tier is public by construction, and the terms separately take an irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use publicly made user content for any commercial purpose. That is a reasonable trade for a learning account and the wrong one for client work.

No price is published for the Data API anywhere reachable from the pricing page.

Data & coverage

The only page that names chains rather than counting them is the Chain Coverage reference, and what it lists is 31: twenty-eight EVM chains, plus SUI, Starknet and GalaChain. Every EVM chain there carries transactions, blocks, token transfers and logs; only six carry traces — Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Fantom and zkSync Era. If your question needs internal calls, the coverage table is six chains wide, not thirty-one.

The roster is also a roster from a particular moment: Fantom, Harmony, Boba, ThunderCore, Combo, DFK, MCH Verse, HOME Verse, TVG verse and Oasys are gaming and alt-L1 chains, which is consistent with the GameFi analytics the vendor sells hardest. Base does not appear in that table at all, and neither do Solana, Bitcoin or Tron — although the homepage logo strip does show Bitcoin, Solana and Tron. The coverage page's own front matter dates it to 13 November 2025, so the honest summary is that the vendor's published coverage is stale and self-contradictory rather than that a particular chain is missing.

The counts contradict each other too: 30+ on the free plan card, 23 in the comparison matrix one row below it, 20+ in the documentation index. Three numbers, three of the vendor's own pages.

On freshness the marketing says "real-time on-chain data" and no page found states a lag, an update cadence or an SLA. Treat it as a warehouse and measure the lag yourself on the chain you care about before you chart anything time-sensitive.

There is no entity-label product here. The decoding layer classifies contracts and collections into domains — GameFi, NFT, DEX — which is category tagging, not attribution of a wallet to a named owner. No label count, no taxonomy and no revision date is published, and the wallet pages are profiles of an address rather than a name for it.

Integrations

A unified Data API covering NFT, GameFi and DeFi data, with Python and JavaScript SDKs documented. SQL user-defined functions for decoding function calls and events, converting byte arrays and parsing Bitcoin transactions. Alerts fire from a chart on threshold conditions over email, Telegram or Discord, on line, bar, area and combo charts only. Dashboards can be embedded.

The vendor publishes an MCP server repository for its dashboards, but its last commit is dated 9 May 2025, so this card does not claim a working MCP server. The AI product the company is actually pushing, OmniMCP, is a separate product on a separate domain and is not this card.

Limitations

• The public pulse is weak. Last commit to the web application repository 21 April 2026; documentation pages last updated November 2025; last Medium post March 2025. Nothing is broken, but nothing has shipped loudly in a while either.
• Traces exist on six chains. Everything else in the coverage table is transactions, blocks, token transfers and logs.
• Published coverage contradicts itself — 20+, 23 and 30+ chains on three vendor pages, and a named-chain table that predates the current site by ten months.
• Nothing is private on the free plan. Not uploaded data, not dashboards, not the watermark.
• The paid plan has no price. "Let's Talk" for a product whose free tier is self-serve.
• Two paid features are "coming soon" — customised alerts and team collaboration — which is a strange thing to be selling rather than shipping.
• The redistribution clause says both things at once. One sentence forbids copying, republishing or remarketing data, research or screenshots "in a public forum (e.g., a blog post, or your own product)"; the next allows publishing on your own website with a "Powered by Footprint" tagline and links back. Reselling is forbidden in both. If republication matters to your use, get it in writing rather than picking the sentence you prefer.
• Automated access is forbidden by the same terms that sell an API — no bots, crawlers, scrapers "or other automated means to access or collect data ... or otherwise interact with the Service", with no carve-out for the Data API stated on that page.
• Free features may stop being free. The terms reserve the right to move anything free behind a paid plan.
• No entity labels. Contract and collection tagging by domain, not attribution of addresses to named owners.

Alternatives

Against Dune this is the easier on-ramp and the smaller warehouse: the drag-and-drop layer is real and the free plan includes SQL and Python, but the chain coverage is a fraction of it, traces are six chains wide and the freshness story is unpublished. Against a closed institutional platform like Allium it is not in the same market at all. If what you want is the no-code half specifically — somebody who needs a chart, not a query — that is the reason to look here, and the reason to check the last-commit dates yourself before you build a team workflow on it.
