What does it cost?

Tableau price: $15 per user per month (Tableau Standard plan, billed annually). Tableau Standard from $15/user/mo billed annually; Enterprise $35/user/mo billed annually; Cloud+ by quote. Source: vendor pricing page, checked 2026-11-10. Vendor site: Tableau site. Put your plan's price into the estimator below if it differs.

Example values: replace every number with your own. SaaS price prefilled from Tableau pricing, checked 2026-11-10; the other numbers are examples.

Self-hosting saves about $1,980 a year for 20 seats: SaaS $3,600 vs self-host $1,620 (server $144, backups $36, admin time $1,440). Break-even at about 9 seats at these numbers.

Functions differ: an open-source tool rarely matches every Tableau feature. Self-hosting means you handle updates, backups and security. Sponsored plate: none yet. Advertise.
