Choose the licensing model that works for your team.

Tableau aligns user licence types with specific job roles and data requirements. Every user is designated as a Creator, Explorer, or Viewer based on these needs.

Organisations have two distinct options for purchasing and licensing users when deploying Tableau Server:

Role-based Pricing

Simply count how many Creator, Explorer, and Viewer licences your team needs. This straightforward model keeps your costs predictable and easy to forecast as your organisation grows.

Perfect for:

  • • Organisations with a defined, stable set of internal users
  • • Teams where usage is predictable and consistent across named individuals
  • • Companies whose analytics audience doesn’t change frequently

Compute-based Pricing

Determine how many Creator licences your team needs. Then enable broad Explorer and Viewer access by licensing your infrastructure. It’s a flexible model that ties your investment to your deployment size.

Perfect for:

  • • Organisations looking to extend analytics broadly
  • • Teams with seasonal, unpredictable, or fluctuating usage patterns
  • • Companies embedding analytics for external audiences

*Tableau Server customers must provide their own LLM to use Tableau Agent capabilities.

Tableau Server customers can access agentic analytics capabilities through two main options:

  • Tableau Agent: An AI assistant for data preparation, exploration, and visualisation in Prep and Authoring. Customers must provide their own LLM to use Tableau Agent capabilities.
  • Tableau MCP: Build custom AI solutions using the Tableau MCP to create agents that can interact with Tableau data sources on Tableau Server.

Currently GA Tableau Agent and Tableau MCP capabilities are available to customers on all Tableau Server editions.

Tableau offers three primary licence types, each designed for different user needs:

  1. Creator: Create new workbooks and data flows, export data, curate and share data sources, monitor flow performance, and use Tableau Agent for AI-assisted data preparation, exploration, and visualisation.
  2. Explorer: Explore and edit existing workbooks and visualisations, download full data, manage users and content, and use Tableau Agent in Web Authoring to understand existing calculations, create new calculations, and explore and visualise data.
  3. Viewer: View and interact with dashboards, download summary data, and get data-driven alerts.

Yes. Compute-based pricing is available for Tableau Server. Determine how many Creator licences your team needs. Then enable broad Explorer and Viewer access by licencing your infrastructure. Organisations licence processing power in 8-core units rather than by individual users, deploying Tableau Server on their own infrastructure (on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud). This flexible model ties your investment to your deployment size. Contact Sales for pricing.

No, mixing editions or licensing models within a single Tableau Server deployment is not supported. Customers who want to leverage multiple editions must maintain them in completely separate deployments.

No, Tableau Server doesn’t include any consumption-based pricing components.

No. All Tableau Server plans require an annual contract, billed annually.

Yes, all Tableau customers receive Standard Success, which includes self-guided resources and on-demand learning. Customers on Enterprise Edition also receive eLearning included. Customers on Server+ Edition receive Premier Success and eLearning included — offering expert guidance, targeted coaching, and 24/7 expedited support. Any customer can upgrade to Premier Success or Signature Success for even higher-touch support, including a designated Customer Success Manager, fastest response times, and technical health reviews.
