Questions, answered.

Toucan builds custom analytics for the AI era: dashboards and data apps shaped around your KPIs, used standalone by your teams or embedded inside your own product.

There are two ways in. With Custom Apps, a supervised crew of AI agents and a named Toucan expert build and run your data app for you. With Studio, your product or data team builds it yourself on the same platform.

Toucan was founded in Paris in 2014. Over 4 million Toucan visualizations are viewed every year.

Who does the work.

Custom Apps is a fully managed service. You brief us at a kickoff, then give feedback in plain language. We build, run and improve the app. See what Custom Apps delivers.

Studio is a self-serve platform. Your team builds with a no-code builder, prebuilt layouts and conversational AI, then ships it wherever it needs to live. Explore Studio.

Same platform underneath. Custom Apps includes everything in Studio Grow.

Pick Custom Apps if you want the result without staffing the project. No analytics team to hire, no backlog to feed, no specs to write.

Pick Studio if you have product or data people who want to build and iterate themselves. It is the typical choice for SaaS teams shipping customer-facing analytics inside their product.

Still unsure? Tell us what you need. We will say which one fits, even if it is the cheaper one.

Both. Build standalone data apps for your own teams, or embed white-label analytics in your SaaS product, under your brand.

The architecture is multi-tenant and customer-facing from day one, so going from internal use to your customers does not mean rebuilding.

Toucan AI is the conversational layer built into the platform. Users ask questions in plain language, like "Which accounts are at risk this quarter?", and get an accurate visualization instantly. No SQL, no BI training.

Answers are grounded in your governed semantic layer: metric definitions, business rules, row-level security. The AI works on your data model, it does not invent numbers. It is available in both Custom Apps and Studio.

Your BI tool serves analysts who know what they are looking for. Toucan serves everyone else: business teams who need an answer, and customers who use your product.

Toucan connects to your existing stack and complements it. And with Custom Apps, nobody on your side has to build anything.

It starts with a kickoff: one or several working sessions to understand your goals, your KPIs and your data. No forms, no spec document.

Then the crew gets to work. You see a first result 48 hours after kickoff, the app is in production within 30 days, and it gets a release every day after that. Want a change? Ask in plain language.

Five supervised AI agents: Scout, Analyst, Builder, Keeper and Tuner. Each one has its own desk, from exploring your sources to building, running and improving the app, and they share the same context on your project.

They work under a named Toucan expert, a human who scopes the work with you and signs every release. AI does the work. A person is accountable for it.

Very little. Give access to your data, join the kickoff, then review what ships and react in plain language.

No specs to write, no tickets to file, no team to staff.

The app keeps being run, monitored and improved. Releases ship every day, each one reviewed and signed by your Toucan expert. It does not freeze the day it goes live.

On quote. Custom Apps is scoped to your goals and your data, not sold as a per-seat license.

Let’s talk: a short call to scope it, no commitment.

Studio is the self-serve Toucan platform. Your team builds, embeds and ships white-label analytics, with a no-code builder, prebuilt layouts, a semantic layer and conversational AI on governed metrics.

For SaaS products: multi-tenant row-level security, SSO and audit trail are built in. Embed as a web component or a React component.

Two plans. Start at 445 € per month and Grow at 990 € per month.

Commit yearly and save 15%: 378 € and 842 € per month. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

First dashboards typically go live in under two weeks. That is what customers like DC Power and Verified Market Research actually did.

Timing depends on scope and data readiness, but the no-code builder and ready-made connectors remove the usual bottlenecks.

Yes. Both run on the same platform, so switching does not mean starting over. When your team would rather hand the work off, talk to us and we will scope it.

Toucan connects to 600+ data sources: SQL and NoSQL databases, cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), REST APIs, flat files (CSV, Excel) and native connectors to common ERP and business tools.

Choose scheduled refresh or real-time live queries. Full connector documentation lives at docs.toucantoco.com.

Yes. A single app can pull from a SQL database, a CRM and an Excel file at the same time. Standard for teams with fragmented data.

Yes. If your BI platform exposes a connection layer, Toucan can sit on top of it. For proprietary formats, Toucan deploys a script that extracts and ingests the data automatically.

Two modes: scheduled refresh, from hourly to weekly with the built-in scheduler, or live data through real-time queries. The right one depends on how time-sensitive the answers need to be.

Yes. Prototype the experience first with static or generated data, validate the use cases with real users, then build the pipeline on confirmed needs. It saves months of data work on the wrong problem.

With Custom Apps, data readiness is part of what the kickoff scopes.

Yes. Embed as a web component or a React component in any web application. It is fully white-label: your colors, your fonts, your logo. Your customers see your product, not Toucan.

By default, in France, in the Scaleway DC3 datacenter (Tier III). Hosting location can be adjusted to your data sovereignty requirements.

Yes. Toucan runs as SaaS or self-hosted, Docker-based, on your own infrastructure. Self-hosted is the usual choice in regulated industries: healthcare, finance, public sector.

Each tenant gets an isolated instance: separate network, volumes and database. Row-level security controls exactly what each user sees, without building filtering logic into your application. Access plugs into your existing SSO.

Yes. Data is processed and hosted in France, in compliance with GDPR. Each client instance is isolated. Encryption, data retention policies and access logs are available depending on your contract.

In 2014, in Paris. Toucan now works with teams in France, the UK, the Nordics, the Netherlands and the United States.
