Ongoing vendor subscription for Qlik users, capacity and add-ons. Pricing depends on the plan chosen with Qlik and is not fixed to a single public figure.

Factors that influence Qlik pricing
Qlik pricing is not a single sticker price. It reflects your deployment model, user mix, capacity, add-ons and governance requirements. The main drivers are:
- Deployment model — Qlik Cloud (SaaS) or client-managed Qlik Sense Enterprise
- Number and type of users (analyzer, professional, full users, capacity-based)
- Data volumes and refresh frequency
- Required governance, security and single sign-on features
- Add-on capabilities such as Qlik Automate, Qlik Predict, Qlik Alerting, Qlik Reporting
- Environments needed (development, test, production, disaster recovery)
- Regional pricing, exchange rate and applicable South African VAT
- Implementation, migration, enablement, training and ongoing support
Qlik Cloud vs client-managed considerations
Qlik Cloud
- Vendor-managed SaaS on Qlik-hosted infrastructure
- Priced per user, capacity and add-on capabilities
- Includes Qlik-managed platform upgrades and availability
- Fastest path to Qlik AI and advanced analytics
Client-managed Qlik Sense Enterprise (QSEoW)
- Deployed on customer or partner-managed infrastructure
- Typically licensed by user tokens or professional/analyzer users
- Retains local data residency and integrates with on-premise systems
- Suits regulated South African workloads with on-premise requirements
Total cost of ownership: what to plan for

Support & managed services
Recurring cost for monitoring, administration, health checks and continuous optimisation of the Qlik and RaptorMCP environment.
Modern Management does not control Qlik's vendor pricing. Where pricing depends on your configuration, deployment model or the current Qlik price list, we confirm the figure with Qlik and provide a written assessment.
