Tableau: capacity/compute-based pricing introduced
What happened
Between the Jul 20, 2026 and Jul 27, 2026 captures of Tableau's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Introduced capacity-based (Cloud) and compute-based (Server) pricing as new alternatives to per-user licensing, with a dedicated page section, pricing guide download, and FAQ entry; per-seat Standard ($15) and Enterprise ($35) pricing unchanged. In detail: Tableau introduced capacity-based pricing (Cloud) and compute-based pricing (Server) as new alternatives to per-user licensing, with a dedicated page section, a downloadable pricing guide, and a new FAQ entry; per-seat Standard ($15) and Enterprise ($35) pricing is unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Tableau Next at $40, Tableau Enterprise at $70 and Tableau Standard at $75.
It lands 23 days after Tableau's previous change, "Tableau adds new Cloud+ tier, renames base plan to Standard" (Jul 4, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Tableau restructures Tableau+ Bundle around new Cloud+ tier" (May 25, 2026). Tableau has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Microsoft, Qlik, IBM, SAP SE and Sisense also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
