Tableau's premium push is driving a data exodus

Tableau has launched a new pricing strategy that's reshaping the data visualization landscape. The new tiered pricing — $25/month for individuals, $100/month for teams — targets small businesses and individuals while maintaining enterprise pricing. This change is accelerating the migration to open-source tools like Power BI and Looker, which offer more flexibility. Why this matters for us: small business owners and freelancers are bearing the brunt of this shift, and many are adopting open-source alternatives that save money without sacrificing functionality.
