They do do very similar things, Metabase even has a raw sql interface hidden away. Metabase however has a better interface in many regards but especially in it's 'Questions' interface - under the hood it's generating SQL, but it gives any person just enough flexibility to select, filter and aggregate results and then turn them into graphs and stick the graphs on a dashboard. I don't particularly like Metabase's false peppiness - it's a bit like Slack's "You look good today!" type messages - that really get under my skin, and the blue+light-grey on white colour scheme. For those who do know SQL and write the majority of the reports, Django SQL Explorer was a great drop-in just-works lib to get insight into several of our data silos.
