Frequently Asked Questions
01 How much does Sisense cost?
Sisense pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Based on market data, small deployments start around $1,000-2,000/month ($12,000-24,000/year), mid-market deployments range $2,500-5,000/month, and enterprise/embedded solutions can exceed $5,000-15,000+/month. Contact sales for specific quotes.
02 Does Sisense charge per user?
Sisense pricing models vary. Some contracts use per-user pricing, others use platform capacity or consumption-based pricing. For embedded analytics, pricing is often based on the number of customer-facing embedded seats or tenant count rather than internal users. The model is negotiable.
03 Is Sisense more expensive than Tableau?
For internal BI with small teams, yes - Sisense's $1,000-2,000/month minimum vs Tableau's $15-75/user/month. However, for embedded analytics serving hundreds of customers, Sisense's platform pricing can be more cost-effective than paying per-user for Tableau embedded. Use case matters significantly.
04 What makes Sisense good for embedded analytics?
Sisense is designed for embedding in products with multi-tenancy, white labeling, customer-specific data isolation, and flexible pricing models (platform vs per-user). This makes it ideal for SaaS companies offering analytics to customers - a use case where traditional BI tools struggle or become prohibitively expensive.
05 Can I use Sisense for internal BI only?
Yes, many companies use Sisense purely for internal business intelligence without embedded analytics. However, if internal BI is your only need, alternatives like Power BI ($10/user/month) or Metabase (free open-source) may offer better value. Sisense's premium is justified by embedded capabilities.
06 What's included in Sisense that justifies the cost?
Sisense bundles data integration, an in-chip data engine (ElastiCube) for fast queries, visualization, embedded analytics platform, and multi-tenancy support. For embedded use cases, this eliminates needing separate tools for ETL, caching, and embedding - justifying the all-in-one premium.
07 Does Sisense require on-premises hosting?
No, Sisense offers both cloud (SaaS) and on-premises deployment options. Cloud is simpler and included in platform pricing. On-premises requires provisioning your own infrastructure for the ElastiCube engine but offers more control for compliance needs.
08 How does Sisense pricing compare to Looker for embedded analytics?
Both use custom pricing for embedded use cases. Sisense ($1,000-15,000+/month) and Looker ($3,000-20,000+/month) are in similar ranges. Sisense focuses more on multi-tenant customer-facing embedding, while Looker emphasizes data modeling. Choice depends on technical requirements more than price.
