# Analytics Toolbox for BigQuery

The CARTO Analytics Toolbox for BigQuery is a set of UDFs and Stored Procedures to unlock Spatial Analytics. It is organized in a set of modules based on the functionality they offer. There are two types of modules: *core* modules, which are [open source](https://github.com/CartoDB/analytics-toolbox-core) and free to use for anyone with a BigQuery account, and *advanced* modules, only available with a CARTO account.
