Pricing at a glance

◇ Pricing model

Per named user subscription, billed yearly or longer; some tiers are webstore-purchasable while higher tiers are quote-only.

↻ Billing notes

Spotfire licenses are purchased per named user per year or longer. The company says it does not currently sell monthly subscriptions, and every person who uses the software must have their own license because concurrent licensing is not offered. A 30 day free trial is available for Spotfire Industry Pro. The webstore accepts major credit cards, while Spotfire Industry Pro and Spotfire Enterprise are sold through sales. Public materials do not disclose published discounts, renewals terms, seat minimums, or overage rules.

Hidden and indirect costs

Worth budgeting for
⚠  Public materials indicate that some capabilities are not included in webstore licenses and may require a higher tier or a different deployment model. For example, webstore licenses cannot share analyses via the web, do not include Spotfire Information Designer, and do not support customizations that require Spotfire Server. Buyers should also expect that monthly subscriptions are not offered, so annual commitment is the public minimum cadence disclosed.
⚠  Spotfire uses named-user licensing, which means every person who uses the software must have their own license. That can increase total spend for teams that would otherwise expect shared or concurrent access, because the company explicitly says concurrent licenses are not offered.
