BI tool pricing guides
Updated 17 July 2026 · every price read from the vendor’s own pricing page and dated. No affiliate links, no commission.
Quick answer
Dashboard and BI pricing is rarely the number on the pricing page. Databox starts free and runs from $71 to $319 a month on annual billing, with users and data sources capped per plan; every account or property counts as a source. These guides give the real, dated numbers from each vendor's own pricing page — and DataHub Pro sits alongside them at $19.99 per seat a month. You can try it free at datahubpro.co.uk — no card required.

The guides
We publish these because vendor pricing pages are designed to look simple and the real bill rarely is. Every figure here is sourced and dated, including the ones that make our own product look like the wrong choice — if you need live connectors into dozens of SaaS tools, Databox is a better buy than we are, and we say so on the page.
