The panel's verdict
Qlik Sense (Qlik Cloud Analytics) scored strongest on data connectivity at 6-7, sharing and embedding at 6-7 and pricing transparency at 6-7; weighted totals run 4.8 to 5.4. Weakest: governance and portability at 3-4, dashboards and visualization at 4-5, self-service and modelling uniformly at 4. Connectivity rests on 461 connector results plus a Connector Factory; embedding includes anonymous public access with no login from the Premium tier, white-labelling and a no-code to pro-code toolkit. Three tiers are publicly priced — Starter Starting at $300/mo For 10 Users, Standard Starting at $825/mo For 25 GB data, Premium Starting at $2,750/mo For 50 GB data, each billed annually — with Enterprise by quote, and we found no public price for capacity packs, additional reports or the self-hosted route. We found no public information on refresh intervals, a semantic layer, row-level security, single sign-on or audit logs. EU regions are a customer-selected option with no stated default, the European Sovereign Cloud on AWS ESC (Brandenburg) is planned, and the group is headquartered in the USA. Scores never differ by more than one point.
Speaks for it
- The connectors page returns 461 results, with a Connector Factory that can rapidly develop new connectors and a request route for missing ones
- Embedding is documented with anonymous public access to websites and portals with no login from the Premium tier, white-labelling, and a no-code to pro-code toolkit with JavaScript libraries and APIs
- Three tiers carry exact starting prices with per-tier quotas for reports from 250 up to 25,000 per month, automations, AI questions from 25 up to 1,000, and app sizes
- Standard states No cost for additional users
- European regions including Frankfurt are selectable, and ISO 27001, ISO 27018 and a German C5 attestation are published
Held against it
- We found no public information on refresh intervals, incremental loading, live-versus-extract behaviour or a gateway for databases behind a firewall — connector breadth is proven, freshness is not
- We found no public information on the chart library, dashboard filters, drill-down, a SQL editor or a semantic layer where metrics are defined once, and dashboards and visualization scored 4-5
- We found no public information on row-level security including per embedded viewer, roles and permissions, single sign-on, audit logs or export of dashboards and definitions on exit
- We found no public price for capacity packs, additional reports (which say Contact us), the self-hosted route or Enterprise, so a complete annual cost is not computable from these pages
- EU residency is a customer-selected option with no stated default, and we found no public information on subprocessors, a data processing agreement or where extracts and caches are stored
Best for
- You need to consolidate data from many sources into one dashboard surface and want a documented route to request missing connectors
- You are embedding analytics into your own product or a public portal and want anonymous access with no login, white-labelling and a no-code to pro-code toolkit from the Premium tier
- You want published prices and per-tier quotas before a sales conversation and your workload fits Standard with 25 GB and No cost for additional users
- You will actively select an EU region such as Frankfurt at setup and value published ISO 27001 and C5 attestations
Avoid if
- You need documented row-level security, single sign-on and audit logs before rollout — governance and portability scored 3-4 and we found no public information on them
- Your analysts must see the query behind every natural-language answer or define metrics once in a shared layer — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- You must compute your complete annual cost before signing — capacity packs, additional reports, the self-hosted route and Enterprise are unpriced or quote-based
- EU residency must be guaranteed rather than chosen — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it

Data sources, connectors & refresh
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Which data the product can reach and how it stays current: native connectors to databases and warehouses (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, BigQuery, Snowflake), to business applications (accounting, ERP, CRM, shop, help desk, ad platforms) and to files and spreadsheets (Excel, CSV, Google Sheets), live queries versus imported extracts, scheduled and incremental refresh with its minimum interval, joining data from several sources, light data preparation, access to databases behind a firewall (gateway, SSH tunnel, IP allow-list), and a generic REST or custom connector for what is not listed.
0 — Not a reporting product, or data can only be typed or pasted in by hand.
3 — Spreadsheet and file uploads plus a handful of named connectors; refresh schedules, live queries and blending sources are basic or not described.
5 — A published connector list covering the common databases, warehouses, spreadsheets and several named business applications, scheduled refresh with its interval stated, live queries or extracts at the customer's choice, data from two sources combined in one report, and a documented way to reach a database behind a firewall.
8 — Hundreds of maintained connectors or a full SQL layer over every major warehouse, incremental refresh and caching explained, a built-in data preparation or modelling step, a gateway or agent for on-premise sources, a generic REST or custom connector SDK, and connector limits (rows, API calls, history) stated per plan.
10 — Connectivity an organisation can standardise on: every source reachable live or by extract with the trade-offs documented, refresh down to minutes with lineage from report back to source, source changes detected and reported, and connector behaviour, quotas and failure handling published.
The Finance Controller
The connectors page returns 461 results with a Connector Factory that rapidly develops new ones, and SAP extraction plus Talend cloud, mainframe and legacy sources are named with per-plan capacity limits — breadth that would cover my ERP and warehouse world. I found no public information on refresh scheduling and its minimum interval, live queries versus extracts, or a documented way to reach a database behind our firewall. 1 4 5
The Managing Director
The connector page returns 461 results with a Connector Factory and a way to request new ones, and the product pages describe consolidating data from various tables and sources into one dashboard surface — that breadth is what I need for HubSpot, the accounting tool and the help desk. The captured pages do not state the refresh interval, whether data is queried live or loaded, how to reach a database behind our firewall, or connector quotas per plan, so I cannot judge how current my Monday numbers would be. 4 3 1 5
The Data Analyst
The connectors page lists 461 results with a Connector Factory and a request route for missing ones, and SAP extraction plus Talend Cloud sources are priced per tier, which is the hundreds-of-connectors level. But we found no public information naming individual engines like my PostgreSQL warehouse, and nothing on refresh schedules, live versus extract, incremental loads or an on-premises gateway — only AWS Private Link is stated for private networking. 1 3 4 5
The IT Administrator
The connector catalogue returns 461 results, with a Connector Factory that can rapidly develop new connectors and a request route for missing ones, and every plan states its data capacity and maximum app size. AWS Private Link gives a private route for cloud sources, but we found no public information in these captures on a gateway or agent for an on-premise ERP database, refresh intervals, incremental loads, or live-versus-extract choice. 1 4 5
The SaaS Product Lead
The connectors page documents 461 connectors plus a 'Connector Factory' that can rapidly develop new ones on request, and data from various tables and sources can be consolidated into one dashboard surface — that breadth is what I need for telematics, ERP and spreadsheet feeds. We found no public information on refresh intervals and their minimum, live-versus-extract behaviour, or a gateway for databases behind a firewall, so I cannot place it higher. 4 1 5 3
The Skeptic
The connectors page counts 461 results, offers a request route for missing connectors and a Connector Factory that can rapidly develop new ones, with SAP extraction and Talend Cloud sources gated by tier, and managing data from various tables and sources is described — that is genuine breadth. But the mechanics of staying current are absent: we found no public information on refresh intervals, incremental loading, or a live-versus-extract choice, and apart from an AWS Private Link mention no documented gateway or tunnel for databases behind a firewall. Breadth is proven; freshness is not. 1 3 4 5
Dashboards, charts & interactivity
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What can be built and how readers use it: the range of chart types, tables and pivot tables, maps, KPI tiles with targets and comparisons, dashboard layout, filters and date controls that apply across a dashboard, drill-down and drill-through, cross-filtering by clicking a chart, templates for common sources, mobile and TV display, theming to the company's design, number formatting and localisation (decimal comma, currencies, German date formats), and accessibility of the result.
0 — No charts or dashboards; the product only stores or moves data.
3 — Standard bar, line and pie charts and a table on a dashboard; filters, drill-down and mobile display are basic or not described.
5 — A broad chart library with pivot tables, maps and KPI tiles with comparison to a previous period or target, dashboard-wide filters and date ranges, drill-down, templates for common sources, a mobile view, and number and date formats localised.
8 — Cross-filtering and drill-through between dashboards, custom visuals or a chart SDK, conditional formatting and annotations, dashboards themed to a brand, TV and presentation modes, pixel-exact or paginated reports for print, and accessibility of charts documented.
10 — Dashboards that a whole organisation reads daily: every interaction (filter, drill, cross-filter, parameter) available to readers without editor rights, performance on large data stated, accessibility conformance (WCAG) published, and every chart reproducible from a documented query.
The Finance Controller
Visualizations and dashboards, enterprise reporting, an iOS and Android app, custom JavaScript visuals and app theming with own fonts and colors are all confirmed. I found no public information on the chart library, filters and drill-down, localised number and date formats, or a paginated layout that prints cleanly for the advisory board. 1 2 3 5
The Managing Director
Visualization and dashboards, enterprise reporting, anomaly detection and predictive AI are named capabilities, a mobile app for iOS and Android is on the plan page, and custom extensions plus JavaScript embedding exist for anything bespoke. The captured pages do not describe the chart library, dashboard filters, drill-down, KPI tiles or German number and date formats, so I would be taking the dashboard surface on trust rather than on evidence. 1 2 5 3
The Data Analyst
Visualization and dashboards are confirmed as headline capabilities, with AI anomaly detection, predictive AI, custom themes and white-labelling, a mobile app for iOS and Android, and report volumes per plan. We found no public information on chart types, pivot tables, dashboard filters, drill-down, cross-filtering or German number and date formats, and accessibility appears only as a general commitment without published conformance. 1 2 5 7
The IT Administrator
Visualization and dashboards, AI anomaly detection and a mobile app for iOS and Android are stated, apps can be styled with custom themes, fonts and white-labelling, and JavaScript libraries and APIs allow custom visuals. We found no public information on the breadth of the chart library, drill-down or cross-filtering, or number formatting and localisation, and accessibility appears only as a general commitment rather than documented conformance. 1 3 5 7
The SaaS Product Lead
Visualizations and dashboards are confirmed as core capabilities, there is an iOS and Android app, and theming with custom themes, fonts, colours and backgrounds is documented — brand-styled dashboards are the one thing I can verify for the embedded product. We found no public information on the chart library, dashboard-wide filters and date controls, drill-down or localised number and date formats, so the breadth my customers would read daily is undescribed. 1 3 5 7
The Skeptic
Every page repeats visualizations and dashboards, and the tiers add a mobile app for iOS and Android, custom themes, fonts and white-labelling, plus JavaScript libraries for custom embedded visuals. What a builder actually gets is not described: we found no public information on the chart library, pivot tables, maps, dashboard-wide filters, drill-down or cross-filtering. A commitment to accessibility for users of all abilities is stated, but no conformance standard is named. 1 2 3 5
Self-service analysis & shared metrics
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether people outside the data team can answer their own questions and whether everyone gets the same answer: a visual query builder, a SQL editor for analysts, calculated fields and formulas, a semantic layer or data model where metrics such as revenue or churn are defined once and reused, metric definitions under version control (Git, dbt integration), questions in natural language with the generated query shown, forecasting and anomaly detection with the method stated, and notebooks or Python for deeper analysis.
0 — Dashboards can only be viewed; no one can ask a new question of the data.
3 — Charts are configured from a field list and simple calculated fields; shared metric definitions, SQL and a query builder are basic or not described.
5 — A visual query builder for business users and a SQL editor for analysts, calculated fields and formulas, saved questions reused across dashboards, a data model or dataset layer where joins and metrics are defined once, and natural-language questions that show the query they ran.
8 — A semantic layer with governed metrics and dimensions reused across every report, definitions in code under Git version control or synced with dbt, certified or endorsed datasets, forecasting and anomaly detection with the method stated, and Python or notebook analysis beside the dashboards.
10 — Self-service that stays consistent at scale: every metric defined once and traced to every chart that uses it, changes reviewed and tested before they reach readers, AI answers grounded in the semantic layer with their limits documented, and the model exportable in an open format.
The Finance Controller
Business users can ask questions in plain language via the AI assistant with published per-tier question quotas, and automated machine learning carries stated model limits. I found no public information on a semantic layer where contribution margin is defined once and reused, a SQL editor, or metric definitions under version control. 1 2 5
The Managing Director
Asking questions in plain language with answers generated by the analytics engine is confirmed on both the German and US pages, with per-plan question quotas on the pricing page, and curated trusted data products point to a shared dataset layer. The pages do not describe a visual query builder, a SQL editor, calculated fields, or where a metric like revenue is defined once, so whether two of my managers get the same number is not shown. 1 2 5
The Data Analyst
Natural-language questioning is confirmed ("Ask questions in plain language for easy answers"), and there are curated real-time "trusted data products" plus per-tier predictive model limits, which points at defining data once. We found no public information on a SQL editor, a visual query builder, calculated fields, metric definitions under version control, or whether the natural-language answers show the query they ran — exactly what I need before letting departments loose on it. 1 2 5
The IT Administrator
Business users can ask questions in plain language with tiered question quotas from 25 up to 1,000 questions, higher tiers add deployed predictive ML models, and curated Trusted Data Products hint at a shared dataset layer. We found no public information on a SQL editor, visual query builder, calculated fields, metric definitions under version control, or whether the natural-language answers show the query they ran. 1 2 5
The SaaS Product Lead
Natural-language questions answered through the analytics engine are documented with per-tier question quotas, alongside curated 'trusted data products' and automated machine-learning models with stated size limits — customers asking their own questions without a ticket is at least directionally evidenced. We found no public information on a visual query builder, a SQL editor, calculated fields, or a semantic layer where metrics are defined once and reused, and whether the generated query is shown to the user is not stated. 1 2 5
The Skeptic
Plain-language questions and an AI assistant are documented down to monthly question quotas per tier, and predictive analytics runs on automated machine learning with deployed-model counts and data-set sizes. The pages never show the query behind an answer, and we found no public information on a semantic layer, shared metric definitions, a SQL editor, or definitions under version control. Until the generated query is visible, the AI answers are uncheckable. 1 2 5
Sharing, scheduled reports & embedding
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How results reach the people who need them: sharing a dashboard with colleagues and with external parties, public or password-protected links, scheduled reports by email or chat (Slack, Microsoft Teams) as PDF, image or data, threshold alerts, comments and annotations, export to PDF, PowerPoint and Excel, embedding dashboards in an intranet, a website or the company's own software product, white-label options, and per-customer data separation for embedded use.
0 — Results cannot leave the editor; no sharing, export or embedding.
3 — Dashboards shared with other users of the account and exported to PDF or CSV; scheduled reports, alerts and embedding are basic or not described.
5 — Sharing with colleagues and by link, scheduled email reports with PDF or image, alerts when a metric crosses a threshold, export to PDF and Excel, and dashboards embedded in a website or intranet with an iframe or script.
8 — Reports delivered to Slack or Microsoft Teams, comments and annotations on dashboards, signed embedding with row-level filtering per viewer, an embedding SDK for a software product with white-label styling, client or guest portals, and an embedding licence model documented.
10 — Distribution as a product: multi-tenant embedded analytics with per-customer data isolation, theming and custom domains, end-user self-service inside the host application, every delivery channel automatable through an API, and usage of shared and embedded content reported to the customer.
The Finance Controller
Embedding is well documented: analytics in websites and portals for anonymous users without login, white-label styling, and a no-code to pro-code toolkit with JavaScript libraries and APIs. Reporting carries published monthly quotas per tier, but I found no public information on the delivery channel and format — email, PDF or chat — nor on threshold alerts or export to Excel and PowerPoint. 2 3 5
The Managing Director
Embedding is well evidenced — publishing to websites and portals with anonymous access, a no-code to pro-code toolkit, JavaScript APIs and white-label styling — and each plan includes a monthly allowance of reports plus data-monitoring and automation runs. The captured pages do not state how those reports reach people (email, PDF, Slack or Teams) or whether alerts and external viewers carry their own licence, which is exactly what my Monday morning summary depends on. 3 5 2
The Data Analyst
Embedding is well evidenced: publishing to websites and portals for anonymous users with no login, a no-code to pro-code embedding toolkit with JavaScript libraries and APIs, white-labelling, and embedded analytics with APIs and custom extensions in the plans. Report volumes of 250 up to 25,000 reports a month show distribution at scale, but we found no public information on email or Slack and Teams delivery, threshold alerts, comments, per-viewer row-level filtering or an embedding licence price. 2 3 5
The IT Administrator
Embedding is well documented: a no-code to pro-code toolkit, JavaScript libraries and APIs, embedding into popular business apps, white-labelling, and anonymous public access for websites and portals on the Premium tier, with report volumes scaling from 250 to 25,000 reports per month by plan. We found no public information on delivery to Slack or Teams, export formats such as PDF or Excel, per-viewer row-level filtering in embedded use, or a documented embedding licence model. 2 3 5
The SaaS Product Lead
Embedding is clearly a first-class story: a toolkit from no-code to pro-code with JavaScript libraries and APIs, publishing to websites and portals for anonymous users with no login, white-labelling with custom themes, and monthly report quotas per tier. For my use case two things are decisive and unresolved: we found no public information on row-level filtering per embedded viewer — each of my 600 fleet customers must see only their own rows — nor on an embedding licence price I could build into my own product's price list. 3 5 2
The Skeptic
Embedding is clearly a headline: anonymous public access to websites and portals with no login from the Premium tier, white-labelling, a no-code to pro-code toolkit with JavaScript APIs, and embedded AI assistants. Reporting exists as concrete monthly quotas per tier, from 250 up to 25,000 reports. We found no public information on the delivery channel for those reports, threshold alerts, PDF or Excel export, or per-viewer row-level security inside embedded apps. 2 3 5
Access control, administration & portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What a company needs before it gives the tool to everyone, and what leaving would cost: roles and folder or workspace permissions, row-level and column-level security, single sign-on (SAML, OpenID Connect) and user provisioning (SCIM), audit logs and usage analytics, content certification and lifecycle, environments for development and production, a public REST API for administration and content, export of dashboards and definitions in a reusable format, open-source code, and a self-hosted or on-premise edition the customer runs on its own servers.
0 — A single shared login with no permissions; dashboards cannot be exported or administered.
3 — Users with view and edit rights; row-level security, single sign-on, an API and export of definitions are basic or not described.
5 — Roles and folder or workspace permissions, row-level security documented, single sign-on on at least one stated plan, an audit log, a documented REST API, and dashboards and data exportable on termination.
8 — Column-level security and data permissions inherited from the source, SAML and SCIM provisioning, usage analytics for admins, development and production environments or content promotion, dashboards and definitions as code that can be versioned and moved, and a self-hosted or on-premise edition with its own documentation.
10 — Governance and an exit that can be verified: open-source code under a named licence that runs fully self-hosted with feature parity stated, every object (data model, dashboards, permissions) exportable in a documented format another instance imports, audit logs streamed to the customer's own systems, and deletion of every copy on termination documented.
The Finance Controller
The pages confirm a self-hosting option ("Need a custom plan or to host on your own IT infrastructure?") with client-managed documentation, AWS Private Link support, and extensive certifications. I found no public information on roles and permissions, row-level security, single sign-on, audit logs, an administration API, or export of our dashboards and definitions on exit. 4 5 7
The Managing Director
The pricing page raises hosting on our own IT infrastructure as an option, the documentation links include client-managed editions, and the trust page lists ISO 27001, SOC 2 and the German BSI C5 attestation. Beyond user counts per plan, the captured pages describe no roles or workspace permissions, row-level security, single sign-on, audit log, administration API or export of dashboards, so I could not judge what handing this to forty people would actually involve. 5 4 7
The Data Analyst
A client-managed edition with its own documentation and a "host on your own IT infrastructure" option give a credible exit route, and APIs plus AWS Private Link are stated. We found no public information on roles and permissions, row-level or column-level security, single sign-on and SCIM provisioning, audit logs, development and production environments, or export of dashboards and definitions in a reusable format — nothing I could hand to our auditors as-is. 4 5
The IT Administrator
A client-managed edition with its own documentation and a host on your own IT infrastructure option exist, which is what I would want to run myself, and AWS Private Link is supported. We found no public information on row-level or column-level security, single sign-on, audit logs, SCIM provisioning, or export of dashboards and definitions, so I cannot confirm from these pages that the controls this company needs ship with any stated plan rather than behind a sales conversation. 4 5
The SaaS Product Lead
A client-managed edition appears by name in the documentation list and the pricing page asks whether you need a custom plan or to host on your own IT infrastructure, with enterprise touches like AWS Private Link and multi-region tenants. We found no public information on roles and folder permissions, row-level and column-level security, single sign-on, provisioning, audit logs, an administration API, or export of dashboards and definitions on exit — exactly the per-customer isolation evidence I would need before onboarding tenants. 4 5 6
The Skeptic
The trail to self-hosting is thin but real: the pricing page asks whether you need to host on your own IT infrastructure, and the documentation links name Qlik Sense Client Managed. Beyond that we found no public information on roles and permissions, row-level security, single sign-on, audit logs, or export of dashboards and definitions in a format another tool reads — the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 attestations speak to the vendor's controls, not to portability of the customer's content. What leaving would cost is not answered on any page we read. 4 5 7
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where the connected business data is queried, cached, extracted and stored, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, query engine, AI model providers, email delivery of reports, support and payment tools). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; a BI tool reads revenue, customer and employee data from many systems, so every place a copy or cache lands counts, not only the account database. A self-hosted or open-source edition the customer runs on its own European servers counts as the customer's chain, whatever the vendor's seat.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (query engine, extracts and caches, AI features, report emails, support, payment) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, where extracts and caches are stored stated, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated — or a self-hosted edition documented that keeps every query and cache on the customer's own servers.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor including AI features, or a self-hosted open-source edition with no call home, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Finance Controller
European regions including Frankfurt are selectable, and ISO 27001, SOC 2 and a German C5 attestation are stated together with GDPR alignment. The EU region is one choice among non-EU regions with no stated default, the group is US-headquartered, and I found no public information on the subprocessor list, a published data processing agreement, or where extracts and caches are stored; the European Sovereign Cloud in Brandenburg is only planned. 6 7
The Managing Director
The regions page names six EU locations (Dublin, Madrid, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Sweden) plus a planned European Sovereign Cloud on AWS ESC in Brandenburg, the German imprint shows QlikTech GmbH in Düsseldorf while the group is US-headquartered, and ISO 27001 and C5 are attested. EU regions are one selectable option among non-EU ones with no stated default, and the data processing agreement, subprocessor list and where extracts and caches are stored are unknown, so the chain my revenue and customer data travels is not evidenced end to end. 6 7 1
The Data Analyst
Frankfurt and other EU regions exist, a European Sovereign Cloud on AWS in Brandenburg is planned, and ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 and the German C5 attestation are stated. But EU residency is only a customer-selected option with no stated default, the imprint carries a German entity while the copyright names the Swedish one under a US-headquartered group, and we found no public information on subprocessors, a published data processing agreement, or where extracts and caches are stored. 1 6 7

European regions including Frankfurt and Paris are listed, a European Sovereign Cloud on AWS ESC (Brandenburg) is planned, the German imprint names QlikTech GmbH in Düsseldorf, and certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 27018 and the BSI C5 attestation are stated. EU regions are only a customer-selected option with no stated default, the group is headquartered in the USA, and we found no public information on subprocessors, a published data processing agreement, or where extracts and caches are stored. 4 6 7
The SaaS Product Lead
European regions including Frankfurt, Paris and Sweden are listed, a European Sovereign Cloud on AWS in Brandenburg is marked as planned, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications are published, and the German imprint names QlikTech GmbH in Düsseldorf. But the group headquarters are in the USA, the EU regions are only a customer-selected option among non-EU regions with no stated default, and we found no public information on the subprocessor list, a data processing agreement, or where extracts and caches are stored. 6 7 1
The Skeptic
European regions are named and selectable — Dublin, Madrid, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Sweden — with a European Sovereign Cloud on AWS in Brandenburg listed as planned, but EU residency is a customer-selected option and the default region is not stated. The captured pages name different entities: a German imprint for QlikTech GmbH in Düsseldorf, copyright lines reading QlikTech International AB, and group headquarters in the USA. We found no public information on subprocessors, a data processing agreement, or where extracts and caches are stored; the ISO 27001/27017/27018 and SOC 2 attestations are the only chain evidence offered. 1 4 6 7
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per creator or editor seat and whether viewers are free or paid, capacity or usage pricing (rows, refreshes, queries, AI credits), which features (row-level security, SSO, embedding, API, more connectors, faster refresh) sit behind a higher tier or "contact sales", the price of embedding for external users, the self-hosted edition's licence, the free tier and its limits, minimum term and setup.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with viewers, data volume or features is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their seat price and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (viewer seats, row-level security, SSO, embedding, extra connectors or refresh frequency) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (creators, viewers, capacity, rows), viewer pricing stated, add-ons and usage overage priced, embedded and self-hosted pricing stated, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of creators and viewers, data volume and feature set, with every add-on, embedding, setup, support and overage fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Finance Controller
Three tiers are public — "Starting at $300/mo" for 10 users, "Starting at $825/mo" with 25 GB and no cost for additional users, "Starting at $2,750/mo" with 50 GB, each billed annually — with unusually detailed per-tier limits for data, app size, automations, reports and AI questions. Enterprise is quote-only, and I found no public information on the price per additional gigabyte or per extra user, the self-hosted licence, VAT treatment or setup fees. 5
The Managing Director
Three plans are public with exact figures — "Starting at $825/mo For 25 GB data, billed annually", with "No cost for additional users" on Standard, which answers my main worry about the whole team looking — and allowances for reports per month, automations, AI questions, app sizes and predictive models are stated per plan. Enterprise is "Get a Quote", the price of additional GB and extra Starter users is not shown, and self-hosting is a custom plan, so I could not compute the full annual cost if we outgrow the base capacity. 5
The Data Analyst
The first three tiers are public and unusually granular: "Starting at $300/mo For 10 Users", "Starting at $825/mo For 25 GB data, billed annually" with capacity in 25 GB increments and no cost for additional users, and "Starting at $2,750/mo For 50 GB data, billed annually" with 25 GB or 250 GB packs, plus per-tier quotas for AI questions, automation runs, reports and app sizes. But the Enterprise tier is "Get a Quote", additional reports are "Contact us", and we found no public price for embedding, the self-hosted route or VAT treatment, so I cannot compute our full annual cost from these pages alone. 2 5
The IT Administrator
Three tiers are public with exact starting prices: Starter at $300/mo for 10 users and a fixed 10 GB, Standard at $825/mo with 25 GB, Premium at $2,750/mo with 50 GB, all billed annually, plus per-tier quotas for reports, automations, AI questions and app sizes, and Standard states no cost for additional users. The Enterprise tier is only a quote, the self-hosted option is unpriced, and the per-GB pack and overage prices are not stated, so a complete annual cost is not computable from these pages alone. 5
The SaaS Product Lead
The pricing page is unusually concrete: Starter at $300/mo for 10 users and a fixed 10 GB, Standard at $825/mo with 25 GB and no cost for additional users, Premium at $2,750/mo with 50 GB plus 25 GB or 250 GB packs, and per-tier quotas for reports, automations, AI questions, app sizes and ML models. Enterprise is quote-based, additional reports say 'Contact us', and we found no public information on embedding or self-hosted licence pricing, VAT treatment or minimum term — the exact figures I would need before signing an embedding deal. 5 2
The Skeptic
Four tiers are public with unusually concrete inclusions — Starter Starting at $300/mo For 10 Users, billed annually, Standard Starting at $825/mo For 25 GB data, billed annually, Premium Starting at $2,750/mo For 50 GB data, billed annually, and Enterprise by quote — plus per-tier quotas for reports, automations, AI questions, app size and support. The annual cost is still not computable: the 25 GB and 250 GB capacity packs carry no price, additional reports mean Contact us, and Enterprise is a quote. Minimum term beyond billed annually, VAT treatment, viewer seats and embedding for external users are not stated. 5

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Data processing agreement, Hosting options. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location. The EU regions are only a customer-selected option among non-EU regions and the page does not state which region is the default, so EU hosting is opt-in rather than guaranteed.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
