Known issues we've tracked

PRICING AND PACKAGING REFRESH -- AI MOVED TO CLOUD+ AND TABLEAU+; ENTERPRISE EDITION PRICED; ASK DATA AND EINSTEIN DISCOVERY NO LONGER ON THE PRICING PAGES (tableau.com/pricing and /pricing/cloud checked 2026-10-12, vendor-primary; this page was last reviewed 2026-03-27): **Standard Edition: Creator $75, Explorer $42, Viewer $15 per user/month billed annually** (unchanged from this page) with Tableau Cloud (3 sites), Pulse, Desktop, Prep Builder and Tableau MCP. **Enterprise Edition: Creator $115, Explorer $70, Viewer $35**, adding Data Management, Advanced Management, eLearning and 10 sites. **Cloud+ Edition (contact sales)** is where the AI lives: Tableau Knowledge, **Tableau Agent in Pulse, Authoring, Prep, Catalog and dashboards**, Premier Success and 50 sites. **Tableau+ Bundle (contact sales)** adds Tableau Next and Data 360 (250K credits). **Tableau Next** starts at $40 per user/month billed annually. No monthly plans exist; every deployment needs at least one Creator; capacity-based Viewer blocks are available on Cloud, compute-based (8-core) licensing on Server. **Corrections on this page:** the old pricing rows listed 'Ask Data' and 'Einstein Discovery' as included features -- neither appears anywhere on the current Tableau pricing pages, which name Tableau Agent and Pulse instead, so those claims were removed from pricing, pros and cons rather than carried forward unverified. Scores unchanged pending a hands-on check of Tableau Agent.
