Sisense pricing is a black box.
Yurbi shows you everything upfront.

Sisense doesn't publish pricing. Based on ISV evaluations and community reports compiled through early 2026: cloud deployments for small teams typically start around $21,000/year. Self-hosted options are reported around $10,000–$25,000/year at minimum. For OEM embedded use — where your customers access analytics inside your product — the picture is different. Multiple sources place mid-size SaaS ISV deployments at $60,000–$150,000/year once OEM licensing, per-tenant ElastiCube costs, and implementation are included. At least one documented renewal came in 400% higher than the original contract.

We're not inventing these figures, but we also can't give you a number Sisense themselves won't confirm. The practical implication: you can't evaluate budget fit without entering a sales process. With Yurbi, you can see every price here before making any contact.

In April 2024, attackers compromised Sisense's internal GitLab repository and exfiltrated millions of access tokens, SSL certificates, and credentials. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a public alert — which is rare — and urged all Sisense customers to immediately rotate credentials across their Sisense deployments. Sisense's CISO sent customers a detailed list of what needed to be reset: Active Directory credentials, Git credentials, SSO tokens, web access tokens, and more.

For ISVs, the specific concern is this: Sisense's role in your architecture is to connect to your customers' databases and surface their data in dashboards embedded in your product. The credentials Sisense holds to do that job were what was exposed. A breach of Sisense's infrastructure is a potential breach of the access path to your customers' data. That's a supply chain risk that affects every company in the chain — including your customers and, by extension, your business.

Yurbi is self-hosted: it runs inside your infrastructure, has no required outbound connections to 5000fish servers, and cannot contact our infrastructure during normal operation. Your deployment is not in a shared cloud environment that can be breached at the vendor level.

Sisense does offer on-premise and customer-hosted options, but the product architecture and investment have moved toward cloud-native delivery. As of late 2025, the company's positioning is primarily around Sisense Cloud with cloud-first pricing. Customer-hosted Kubernetes deployments exist as a higher-tier option — not the primary path.

For ISVs whose customers require data to stay on their own servers — which is common for regulated industries, enterprise buyers with data residency policies, and government customers — Sisense's cloud-first orientation is a real friction point. Yurbi is self-hosted by design. It runs on Windows Server, Linux, or Docker inside your infrastructure, and your customers' data never leaves their environment. That's the architecture, not a feature toggle.

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. In May 2025 Sisense launched Sisense Intelligence — a suite of GenAI-powered tools including a natural language "Assistant" for end-to-end analytics creation, "Explanation" for surfacing data drivers, and "Forecast" for trend prediction. These are genuine differentiators if your product's analytics use case is AI-heavy.

Yurbi's AI roadmap is built on our semantic layer, which already understands your data model and security policies. We're being deliberate about it: AI-generated queries that ignore tenant boundaries in a multi-tenant product aren't a feature — they're a data breach. We'll ship AI when it's safe to put in front of your customers. If AI analytics are critical to your product today, Yurbi is not the right fit right now, and we'd rather tell you that than have you find out after you've built on us.

Sisense's proprietary data engine is called ElastiCube. When you need genuine data isolation between tenants — which most ISVs do — the standard approach is one ElastiCube per tenant. Each ElastiCube carries its own cost and management overhead. Users have reported approximately $10,000 per ElastiCube at scale. An ISV with 20 enterprise customers needing isolated data is looking at $200,000 in ElastiCube costs before counting the base platform fee, OEM licensing, or implementation.

This is the mechanism that takes Sisense's headline starting number and multiplies it as your ISV scales. Yurbi handles multi-tenant isolation at the platform level — tenant groups, row-level security, and dynamic data source routing are all included at a flat tier price. Adding a new customer doesn't change your annual subscription.

Being direct: Yurbi has no AI or NLP analytics features yet. Embedding is iframe and API only — there's no JS SDK for in-page programmatic interactivity the way Sisense's Compose SDK supports. SSO is session-token based via our DoLogin API, not SAML or OIDC — full SAML is on the roadmap. Dashboard interactivity is parameter and global-filter driven; there's no associative click-through between widgets. Mobile is functional but not a selling point. ARM architecture is not supported.

If those gaps are blockers for your use case, tell us in a demo and we'll give you an honest fit assessment. We'd rather you find out now.

Download the Yurbi trial today. Connect it to your database. Configure your tenant structure. You can have a working embedded dashboard in your product within days. Full production deployment — with your branding, your SSO configuration, and your customer data — typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on data architecture complexity.

The Sisense path starts with a sales conversation and moves to a scoped implementation engagement. Real-world reports from ISVs who attempted Sisense embedding document 14-week timelines and $89,000 in first-year implementation costs before their first production embed. Starting with "download trial" versus starting with "contact sales" is a measurable difference in time to your first working analytics feature.
