Yellowfin pricing guide details
Pricing Overview
Yellowfin publishes no prices. Its pricing page carries no dollar amount at all: what it publishes is a choice of pricing models, each quoted on request through a "Get Pricing" form. Yellowfin describes the approach as "simple, predictable and scalable", with "value based pricing for embedded analytics and a flexible pricing model for software vendors".
That means a buyer cannot compare Yellowfin on price from public information. The shape of the eventual quote is knowable, and that is what this page can honestly tell you; the amount is not.
Plan Comparison
Yellowfin names three models for software vendors and OEMs, and a flexible model for embedded analytics.
| Model | How it is priced | Yellowfin's description |
|---|---|---|
| Aligned Utility Model: Price Per Unit | Per unit of analytics usage | "Pricing aligned to how you sell - we fit our pricing model to your pricing model. e.g. by site, by app, bus, by device, etc." |
| Revenue Share Model | Share of revenue | "Pricing based on value of revenue from add-on analytics" module |
| Server Core | Per server core | "Fixed price based on server core (e.g., 4 core deployment). Price scales only as deployment needs scale." |
| Embedded Analytics | Flexible, aligned to your go-to-market | "designed to align with your unique go-to-market model ensuring predictability and scalability without any hidden costs or surprises" |
The two tabs on Yellowfin's pricing page separate Embedded Analytics from Enterprise BI, and its quote form asks for a user band — under 25, 25 to 100, 100 to 500, or 500-plus — so team size is an input to the quote even though no per-user rate is published.
What to Ask For
Because every model is quoted, the useful preparation is knowing which unit your deployment will be measured in. Price Per Unit suits a vendor that already sells by site, app or device and wants analytics priced the same way. Revenue Share suits an add-on analytics module sold separately. Server Core suits a fixed deployment whose cost should not move with usage. Ask which model applies before asking what it costs, and confirm whether implementation, training and connector work sit inside the quote or outside it — Yellowfin does not say publicly.
How Yellowfin Pricing Compares
Yellowfin cannot be compared on entry price, because it publishes none. Among the analytics platforms in our database, several do: Amazon QuickSight lists per-user pricing with a no published free tier, KNIME is open source with paid extensions for data-science workflows, and Amplitude runs a freemium product analytics model. A quoted-only vendor is not thereby more expensive, but it does mean a procurement conversation before any number exists, which is a real cost for a small team evaluating BI for the first time.
