Funnels
Where people fall out of onboarding, checkout or any other sequence, with conversion windows you can set in hours or weeks and segment on any warehouse column.
Warehouse-native product analytics
Your product data is already in the warehouse. Stop copying it somewhere else.
Beacon runs funnels, retention and cohort analysis directly against Snowflake, BigQuery or Redshift. There is no second copy of your event data, no separate SDK to instrument, and no invoice that scales with how many events your product happens to emit this quarter.

What it does
Four questions, asked without writing SQL.
Beacon compiles every view into SQL against your warehouse and shows you the query it ran. A product manager gets an answer in a minute; the analyst who has to defend the number gets a query they can read.
Retention & cohorts
Classic and unbounded retention, weekly or monthly cohorts, and the one view most teams actually need: which behaviour in week one predicts still being here in week twelve.
Readable SQL, always
Every chart has a “show the query” button. Copy it into your own editor, check the join, and argue with it. Analytics you cannot audit is analytics nobody trusts twice.
Metric alerts
Threshold and anomaly alerts on any saved metric, delivered to Slack or email. Built on the same compiled queries, so an alert can never disagree with the chart it came from.
Event catalogue
A single definition per event and metric, owned by a named person, with deprecations that actually propagate. This is the feature that stops three dashboards reporting three different signup counts.
Warehouse-native permissions
Beacon queries as the role you give it, so row-level security you have already built in Snowflake or BigQuery keeps working. No second permissions model to drift out of sync.
Who it is not for
Three reasons to close this tab.
- You do not have a warehouse. Beacon has no ingestion pipeline of its own — that is the whole design. If your events are only in a vendor SDK, start there and come back.
- You need session replay or heatmaps. We do not build them and have no plans to. Buy a tool that is good at it.
- You want answers without an analyst, ever. Beacon makes an analyst much faster. It does not replace one, and vendors who say otherwise are selling you a dashboard nobody will trust.
“We killed a $340k contract with an event-based vendor and replaced it with Beacon and about nine days of dbt work. The number that convinced finance was not the licence cost — it was that we stopped paying to store the same events twice.”— Dee Okafor, VP Data · a 900-person fintech
