What is Qlik?
Data integration and analytics made AI-ready.
Who is Qlik best for?
Qlik is best for companies that want dashboards, pipelines and AI assistants working from the same governed data.
Growing analytics teams
From the Standard plan up, adding users costs nothing, so the bill follows how much data you analyse rather than how many people look at it.
Small businesses starting with BI
Starter covers 10 users and 10 GB of data with dashboards, report automation and connectors to hundreds of data sources.
Connecting AI agents to company data
An MCP server and Qlik's own Answers Agents let AI assistants query the same governed data your dashboards use.
Data spread across old and new systems
Qlik Talend Cloud moves data from SaaS apps, databases, SAP and mainframes, and on-premises sources connect to the cloud over an encrypted outbound link.
How much does Qlik cost?
Qlik Cloud Analytics starts at $300 a month for 10 users on the Starter plan, with Standard from $825 and Premium from $2,750 a month, all billed yearly, after a 30-day free trial.
