Evidence pricing guide details
Pricing Overview
Evidence sells its managed cloud on one flat plan, not per seat. Team costs $2,500 per month, billed monthly, for unlimited users. It includes the analytics agent, page-level access control and 20K AI credits. Enterprise is quote-only and adds SSO, SCIM, row-level access rules and embedding. A 30-day trial is offered, so you can test the cloud before you pay.
Older listings that price Evidence per user are out of date. The current pricing page at evidence.dev/pricing shows only Team and Enterprise, and adding viewers does not raise the bill. The open-source Evidence framework (MIT licence) is still available for teams that want to build and host reports themselves. The cloud plans are what you pay for when you want Evidence to run the platform for you.
The flat fee shapes who Evidence fits. It is a hard sell for a two-person team, and a good deal for a company that wants to share reports with hundreds of people without counting seats.
Plan Comparison
Scroll sideways to see all columns. With a keyboard, focus this table and use the arrow keys.
| Plan | Price | Users | Key features | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team | $2,500 per month | Unlimited | Analytics agent, page-level access control, 20K AI credits, Slack bot and MCP, private Slack or Teams support | Monthly |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Unlimited | Everything in Team, plus SSO, SCIM, row-level access rules, embedding and whitelabelling, custom AI credits, deployment on your infrastructure | Annual contract |
Team covers most internal reporting: unlimited users and projects, native warehouse support, PDF export, scheduled emails, user groups and table-level access controls are all included. Sign-in on Team is Log in with Google.
Enterprise is the step for security and external sharing. SSO (OIDC and SAML), SCIM directory sync, SIEM audit logging, the SOC 2 audit report and a data processing addendum are all listed under Enterprise only. So are external viewers, embedded reports and whitelabelling. If you plan to put Evidence reports in front of customers, Team is not enough.
Hidden Costs and Considerations
- SSO is Enterprise-only. Many IT teams require SSO for any tool that holds company data. If yours does, budget for an Enterprise quote, not the $2,500 Team plan.
- AI credits are capped. Team includes 20K AI credits a month. Heavy use of the analytics agent can pass that, and extra credits are charged on top. Check the current per-credit rate on the pricing page before you roll the agent out widely.
- Warehouse costs are separate. If you connect your own data warehouse, Evidence runs your SQL against it, so report refreshes also cost you on the warehouse side.
- Contract terms differ. Team is billed monthly. Enterprise is sold on an annual contract.
Cost Estimates by Team Size
Team is a flat fee, so your bill does not change as the team grows. Per-seat tools work the other way. The table compares Evidence Team with Power BI Pro at $14.00 per user per month (paid yearly):
Scroll sideways to see all columns. With a keyboard, focus this table and use the arrow keys.
| Users | Evidence Team | Power BI Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $2,500 | 1 x $14.00 = $14 |
| 5 | $2,500 | 5 x $14.00 = $70 |
| 20 | $2,500 | 20 x $14.00 = $280 |
| 100 | $2,500 | 100 x $14.00 = $1,400 |
| 200 | $2,500 | 200 x $14.00 = $2,800 |
Metabase sits in between. Its Cloud Pro plan is $575/month including the first 10 users, then $12 per user/month:
- 20 users on Metabase Cloud Pro: $575 + 10 x $12 = $695 per month.
- 200 users on Metabase Cloud Pro: $575 + 190 x $12 = $2,855 per month.
A year on Team is 12 x $2,500 = $30,000. Enterprise has no public price, so we cannot estimate it. The rule of thumb: below about 170 users, both per-seat options cost less than Evidence Team. Above that, the flat fee wins, and each extra viewer costs nothing more.
How Evidence Pricing Compares
All competitor prices below come from each vendor's current pricing record.
- Lightdash is the closest match. It is another code-first BI tool with a free self-hosted open-source edition, Cloud Pro at $3,000/month and Enterprise on request. Both target teams that already write SQL and keep reports in Git.
- Metabase has a free, self-hosted Community Edition. Metabase Cloud Starter is $100/month including the first 5 users, then $6 per user/month, so small teams can start far below Evidence.
- Tableau Cloud Standard Edition charges per user: $75/user/month for a Creator and $15/user/month for a Viewer.
- Power BI Pro is $14.00 per user per month, paid yearly, the lowest flat per-user rate here.
Evidence's flat fee is a bet on wide sharing. If you will only ever have a handful of report readers, it is the most expensive choice on this list.
