Pricing at a glance

◇ Pricing model

Quote-based flexible pricing with public starting-price references for some consumer/entry tiers and custom pricing for most embedded and enterprise deployments.

↻ Billing notes

Yellowfin’s public pages do not publish a universal monthly or annual price for the main enterprise and embedded tiers; instead, they route buyers to request pricing. The official pricing pages describe multiple commercial models and indicate that pricing can be named-user, server-based, custom, aligned to product usage, or revenue-share based. Publicly supplied documents do not list a standard contract minimum, renewal term, or discount policy. Third-party references mention a free trial and free version on Software Advice, and the blog says Yellowfin provides free live demos and proof-of-concepts at no charge.

Hidden and indirect costs

Worth budgeting for
⚠  Yellowfin’s own pricing content emphasizes that its model is designed to avoid hidden costs or surprises, but the supplied documents still imply that total cost can vary by deployment choice, user count, and architecture. The blog explicitly notes that support, training, and infrastructure can significantly increase total cost of ownership in embedded analytics, even when base pricing looks simple. Buyers should also expect to confirm hosting, database, AI-provider, and deployment costs during the quote process because those items are discussed as options rather than published line items.

What buyers actually pay

A software vendor wants to embed analytics into its product and prefers pricing that scales with usage.

Pricing FAQ

Not for most of its main commercial tiers. The official pricing pages describe the pricing models and direct buyers to request pricing, which suggests a quote-based sales motion. The supplied documents do show a public starting price on a third-party listing, but that is not the same as a full public rate card.

Yellowfin says its embedded analytics pricing includes aligned utility, revenue share, and server core models. For enterprise BI, it describes named user, server, and user tier pricing. In addition, the pricing pages mention Analytics Plus, self-managed or fully managed service, and an analytical database as selectable options.

The supplied documents indicate that Yellowfin provides proof-of-concepts at no charge. A third-party listing also mentions a free trial and free version, but the official pricing pages in the supplied set mainly emphasize booking pricing conversations and demos. Buyers should treat any trial availability as something to confirm directly with Yellowfin sales before purchase.
