A modern alternative to legacy reporting tools.

Golden Reports is built on HTML, CSS, Liquid, and a GraphQL data layer. These are web technologies your team already uses. See how we compare to the platform you're evaluating.

01
Web, not desktop
No Windows-only tools, no Java runtime, no proprietary designers.
02
Web technologies, not XML
HTML, CSS, and Liquid instead of JRXML, RDL, or .rpt formats.
03
Native embedding, not iframes
Reports render as components inside your app, not in a sandboxed frame.
04
Predictable pricing
Per-seat subscriptions instead of capacity, per-render, or per-user license fees.

Choose your comparison

Four detailed breakdowns against the reporting platforms teams are most often replacing: side-by-side comparison, migration concept map, FAQ, and the cases where we're honestly not the right fit.

  1. 01
    Golden Reports vs
    Jasper Reports
    XML-based reporting, modernized

    Replace JRXML and JDBC with HTML/CSS/Liquid templates and a GraphQL data layer. Web technologies you already know.

  2. 02
    Golden Reports vs
    Crystal Reports
    Web-native, cross-platform

    No Windows desktop requirement. Build reports in the browser with HTML/CSS/Liquid and GraphQL, on any OS.

  3. 03
    Golden Reports vs
    SSRS
    SQL Server 2025 dropped SSRS

    A modern replacement for SQL Server Reporting Services. HTML/CSS/GraphQL instead of RDL, without Power BI licensing.

  4. 04
    Golden Reports vs
    Power BI Embedded
    Embed without Azure

    Developer-friendly embedded analytics. Web components, your own data layer, predictable per-seat pricing. No Azure dependency.

Why teams are reevaluating

Most reporting platforms were designed in an era of desktop designers, XML formats, and server-rendered reports bolted onto apps with an iframe. SaaS products today need something different: reporting that lives inside the product, built by the same people who build the product, using the same technologies.
