Deployment differences

Same platform. Three ways to run it.

The three editions share the same core platform. The differences are deployment-related: who operates it, where data lives, air-gapped operation, customer-held encryption keys, and the Windows, Linux, Docker and Kubernetes options (On-Premises only). Cloud Edition also does not support SSO (OAuth/SAML) or multi-tenancy.

The line items you'll never see

What you don't pay for.

Most BI tools bill you again every time your team, your dashboard viewers, or your customer base grows. Here is how Bold BI handles each line.

Cost lines other BI tools add, who charges them, and what Bold BI includes

Hyperscaler / ecosystem lock-inLooker (Google Cloud/BigQuery-centric), Power BI (Azure/Fabric-centric) Included — deploy on AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, K8s, or fully offline
AI query capsThoughtSpot (Spotter query caps on lower tiers)AI actions use credits from the license wallet. Each license gets 500 free AI credits a month; paid credit plans are $20, $50 and $100 a month. With your own AI provider key (BYOK), the provider bills you. A single tenant can send up to 100 messages per minute to the AI Assistant. See the AI credits documentation.

Deploy it in your cloud, our cloud, or fully offline. Other vendors' pricing models are as described on their public pricing pages, last reviewed October 23, 2026. See the detailed comparisons: Bold BI vs Power BI and Bold BI vs Tableau.

Migration

Switching platforms is the risk. We made that part free.

No matter which edition you choose, our team handles the move. Existing dashboards, data source connections, and reports transfer with guided migration support — so switching from Power BI, Tableau, or an in-house build doesn't mean starting over.

Free migration

Our experts help move your dashboards and data connections to Bold BI at no extra cost.

Easy onboarding

Guided setup to help you build your first dashboards faster.

30-day money-back guarantee

Every edition is covered for 30 days after purchase.

Expert assistance

Cloud, Managed Private Cloud, or self-hosted — our support team guides your rollout.

Pricing questions, answered

Is Bold BI priced per user or per viewer?

Bold BI is licensed per user, per application, or as an enterprise license. Pricing is by custom quote and depends on license type, deployment, user count, currency and taxes. The license type is chosen based on your needs; request a quote to see which fits.

What's the difference between Cloud, Managed Private Cloud, and On-Premises?

The three editions share the same core platform. The main difference is where it runs and who manages it.

Cloud — Fully managed by Bold BI on shared infrastructure. Fastest time to value, no servers to manage.

Managed Private Cloud — A dedicated environment operated by Bold BI exclusively for your organization, with additional isolation and a customer-selected data region.

On-Premises — Deployed inside your own infrastructure, giving you full control over hosting, security policy, updates, and data residency, including offline/air-gapped operation.

Do all three editions have the same features?

The three editions share the same core platform, but Cloud Edition does not support multi-tenancy or SSO (OAuth/SAML). Multi-tenancy is available in Managed Private Cloud and On-Premises, not Cloud Edition. SSO (OAuth/SAML) is available in self-hosted deployments, not Cloud Edition. Dashboard design, 145 data connectors, AI Assistant, embedding SDKs, white-labeling and row-level security are in every edition. Deployment-specific capabilities (offline operation, customer-held encryption keys, infrastructure control) vary by edition, as shown in the comparison tables on this page.

Can I embed Bold BI into my own application?

Yes. Bold BI is built embedding-first. Developers can use JS/React/Angular/Vue/.NET/Blazor SDKs and REST APIs to embed fully white-labeled dashboards directly into a SaaS product on any of the three editions. Multi-tenancy is available in Managed Private Cloud and On-Premises, not Cloud Edition.

How does this compare to Power BI or Tableau pricing?

Power BI and Tableau both scale cost with usage — Power BI through per-user licensing and Fabric capacity (F-SKU) billing, Tableau through per-user pricing plus a separate Data Cloud requirement for GenAI features. Bold BI is licensed per user, per application, or as an enterprise license, and quotes depend on license type, deployment, user count, currency and taxes. For the full comparisons, see Bold BI vs Power BI and Bold BI vs Tableau.

How do I get a quote?

Pricing is available through custom quotes provided in USD. Fill in the request-quote form with your deployment preference and number of users. Final charges depend on license type, deployment type, user count, currency conversion, and applicable taxes. If you would rather talk it through first, you can book a free 30-minute demo.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every edition includes a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee after purchase.

Is there a free version of Bold BI?

Yes, for eligible teams. The Community License is free for one embedded application and is open to companies and individuals with less than $1,000,000 USD in annual gross revenue, 5 or fewer developers, and 10 or fewer total employees, that have not received more than $3,000,000 USD in capital from an outside source. See the Community License page for the details and to request a license.

What is the refund policy?

Bold BI offers a 30-day money-back guarantee after purchase. Contact our sales team with any questions about it.

What support is included?

All editions include support via chat, email, and WhatsApp, guided onboarding, and free, unlimited support tickets — support is not a paid add-on tier. See Bold BI support.

Can Bold BI be deployed in Docker or Kubernetes?

Yes. On-Premises deployments support Windows, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes, as well as cloud VMs on AWS, Azure, and GCP. See the deployment options.
