BI and dashboard tools compared: prices and price hikes
Compare business intelligence, KPI dashboard, data notebook and embedded analytics tools by what a small team actually pays each month and which capabilities each one covers.
Prices at a 10-person team (2 builders, 8 viewers)
- Metabase: $130/mo · last hike Oct 2025
- Power BI: $140/mo · last hike Apr 2025
- Tableau: $270/mo · last hike Aug 2023
Prices are total USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the vendor's hosted plan: a team where 2 people build dashboards and 8 view them (or 5 and 20), or one builder on the cheapest paid plan. A free plan counts as $0 only if it connects a SQL database, refreshes daily and shares privately with every viewer; free self-hosted editions are not priced.
