Yellowfin BI

What Yellowfin BI is

Yellowfin BI is business intelligence software with real-time data refresh, row-level security, scheduled reports, embedded analytics, and natural-language queries. It supports hybrid deployment and runs on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Its listed pricing models let buyers consider licensing based on named users, server capacity, or user type.

Pricing is paid and available on request; a 30-day trial is offered, and there is no free plan. Named User pricing depends on the number of named users and is positioned for small to medium-sized deployments. No user-level feature limitations are stated for that plan. Server pricing is based on required CPU cores and is positioned for larger deployments. User Tier pricing depends on user type and supports a combination of writer and consumer users. The maker, Yellowfin BI, was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas, United States. Teams can use the trial to explore the product before considering which pricing approach fits their deployment and user mix.
