Alteryx Pricing Guide 2026: Costs & Plans Broken Down

Alteryx costs $250 per user per month for its Starter edition, billed annually, which is $3,000 per user per year. That’s the only price Alteryx publishes. Professional and Enterprise are quote-only, and Starter is the cut-down edition: cloud only, flat files only, and no automation runs.

I went through Alteryx’s pricing page line by line, so below is what each edition includes, where the quotes come in, and what a small team ends up paying.

Alteryx’s published pricing on this page was verified against Alteryx’s pricing page on 2 October 2026.

⚠️ Alteryx changed its pricing model, and most guides, including earlier versions of this one, are describing the old one. The figure that circulates everywhere is $4,950 per user per year for a Designer licence, alongside the claim that Alteryx publishes nothing. Neither is true today. Alteryx now sells Alteryx One, publishes a rate for its entry edition, and prices on three axes rather than one.

TL;DR How much does Alteryx cost?

What Alteryx publishes

• Starter edition: $250 per user per month, billed annually, or $3,000 per user per year
• Professional edition: contact sales (a UK reseller lists a Full Creator at £4,800 a year)
• Enterprise edition: contact sales (the same list: £9,200 a year)

How Alteryx One prices, which is the part that catches people out. Your cost is not one number times a headcount; it is three choices multiplied together:

1. Edition: Starter, Professional or Enterprise, which sets what the platform can do
2. User role: Alteryx sells Basic users, Full users and Viewers, and Viewers come only with Enterprise, so a 20-person team is not 20 identical seats
3. Automation run capacity: measured consumption. Starter includes no automation runs, Professional includes 50 and Enterprise includes 15,000. Extra capacity is an add-on, and only Professional and Enterprise can buy it

The third axis is the one to model carefully. Starter can’t run anything on a schedule at all, and Professional runs one scheduled workflow at a time with 50 runs included. The 300× jump to 15,000 runs sits between Professional and Enterprise, which tells you where Alteryx expects the tier boundary to bite, and it is not user count. If you are automating anything on a schedule, run capacity, not seats, is likely to decide which edition you land on.

What Professional and Enterprise Cost

Alteryx doesn’t publish its Professional or Enterprise prices, but one of its UK resellers does. Bulien, an Alteryx partner, filed an Alteryx One price list on the UK government’s Digital Marketplace in January 2026, so public bodies can buy from it. Its prices are per seat for a year, in pounds, before VAT:

Three things stand out. A Full Creator costs twice a Starter seat on Professional and nearly four times as much on Enterprise. A Basic Creator on Professional costs the same as Starter, so a team that only needs basic seats gets scheduling and 50 automation runs for the Starter price. And extra automation runs are listed at £0.80 each.

This is one reseller’s public-sector list, in pounds, so a US quote won’t match it line for line. It’s still the only published figure for the editions Alteryx quotes, and the ratios carry over: if Starter is $3,000 a seat, expect a Professional Full Creator to cost about twice that.

What Alteryx Charges for on Top of Seats

Alteryx’s pricing page lists three add-ons, and only Professional and Enterprise can buy them:

• More automation runs, beyond the 50 or 15,000 included. The UK reseller list above prices them at £0.80 a run.
• Data packages, the datasets Alteryx licenses alongside the software
• Professional services, paid help from Alteryx itself

Alteryx puts no price on any of them.

What counts as an automation run

Alteryx’s pricing FAQ defines a run as a workflow, plan or app executed automatically: on a schedule, through the API, or by a viewer. Failed runs don’t count, and nor do validation runs or runs while you’re building.

The viewer part matters. Every time a viewer runs a shared app, that’s a run, so a team that shares apps widely uses its capacity faster than its schedule suggests.

If you already pay for Designer or Server

The same FAQ says how old licences map to Alteryx One. Customers with Designer only typically move to Professional, and customers with Designer and Server typically move to Enterprise.

So if you run Alteryx Server today, expect your renewal to be quoted on Enterprise. That’s the edition with 15,000 runs, and on the UK list it’s the £9,200 Full Creator seat.

Negotiating the quote

To get an exact price you’ll need to talk to Alteryx’s sales team, and Alteryx bills annually. There’s no monthly plan.

Vendr, which negotiates software purchases for its customers, reports a median Alteryx contract of about $49,353 a year across 45 purchases, ranging from $5,996 to $208,464 (read on 2 October 2026). That’s a whole contract, usually several seats plus add-ons, not a per-seat rate.

Vendr also reports annual price increases of typically 3% to 7% at renewal, and multi-year commitments coming in 15% to 30% below list. Those are Vendr’s figures from its customers’ deals, not Alteryx’s. They do say what to ask for: a cap on the renewal increase, written into the contract, and a two- or three-year price next to the one-year one.

The Training Cost No One Talks About

Alteryx is powerful, but it requires significant training investment before your team can use it effectively.

Alteryx training requirements:

• Alteryx Designer Core and Advanced certifications, priced per course on Alteryx’s own pages
• Learning curve: workflow design, formulas, spatial tools, predictive analytics

This is the cost that varies most between organisations, and the one most worth estimating from your own team rather than from anyone’s table, including ours. What is consistent across reviews is that it is not a same-week ramp.

Users on G2 and Gartner Peer Insights consistently mention the steep learning curve and complexity.

Alteryx vs Mammoth

Mammoth is the product I work on, so read this section with that in mind. It does the same preparation job as Alteryx without code, and it adds dashboards with unlimited free viewers, so the comparison that matters is a whole setup rather than a seat.

For five people, Alteryx Starter is $15,000 a year in licences before any automation runs, and you’d still need a BI tool for dashboards. Mammoth Team covers five builders for $1,788/year, with dashboards included. Alteryx is the better pick for spatial analytics, predictive modelling, or a team that’s already trained on it. The full side-by-side is at Mammoth vs Alteryx.

Viewers are free and unlimited on every plan, because only builders count. Storage is a separate axis: every paid plan includes 10 GB, and more costs the same on any plan (+$100/month for 50 GB, +$300/month for 250 GB, +$800/month for 1 TB, billed annually). Free holds 1 GB. Every account starts with 14 days of Pro, no credit card.

Comparing Alteryx with Competitors

Now that you know how Alteryx’s pricing works, you’re probably wondering: “What are the best alternatives to Alteryx, and how much do they cost?”

The main alternatives to consider are other data analytics and automation platforms, with the most notable being Mammoth, Tableau, and DataRobot.

Not sure how to pick between these tools? Here’s a quick breakdown:

The Data Analytics Software Market

The analytics space splits into three types of tools:

• Business intelligence platforms – Focus on dashboards and reporting (e.g., Tableau)
• Data science and AI tools – Designed for predictive modeling and automation (e.g., DataRobot)
• All-in-one analytics and automation platforms – These combine data transformation, automation, and analytics in a single tool (e.g., Alteryx and Mammoth)

Alteryx is well-known for data preparation and automation, but many users find it expensive and complex.

Alteryx Competitor Pricing Overview

Here’s a quick look at Alteryx’s main competitors and how it stacks up:

All figures below are the vendors’ own published prices, re-read on 2 October 2026, or marked quote-only where a vendor publishes nothing.

Tableau

• Published: $900 per user per year (Creator, Tableau Cloud Standard edition). Explorer $504, Viewer $180. On the Enterprise edition, Creator is $1,380
• Known for its powerful data visualization and reporting tools
• But – It lacks built-in automation and data transformation features like Alteryx
• Want to know more about how they compare? Read our full comparison of Alteryx vs Tableau.

DataRobot

• Published: nothing. DataRobot does not list prices. Quote only. Figures you find quoted for it are third-party estimates
• Known for its AI-driven predictive analytics
• But – It’s mainly focused on machine learning, not general data automation

Alteryx

• Published: $3,000 per user per year (Starter edition, $250/user/month billed annually). Professional and Enterprise are quote-only
• Known for its strong data prep, automation, and analytics tools
• But – run capacity is metered, the learning curve is real, and dashboards are not included

Mammoth

• Free plan at $0; paid plans start at $39/month (Starter, 2 builders, billed annually)
• Team: $149/month (5 builders) · Pro: $499/month (15 builders)
• Enterprise: from $5,000/month
• Preparation, transformation, automation and dashboards in one platform, with unlimited dashboard viewers on every tier

Why the totals differ

The gap is less about the headline rate than about how many products a working setup needs.

What an Alteryx setup typically prices separately:

1. Alteryx Starter: $3,000 per user per year (published), or a quote for Professional/Enterprise
2. A BI tool for dashboards: Tableau Creator at $900 per user per year, or Power BI Pro at $168
3. Automation run capacity beyond what your edition includes
4. Training time, which varies by team and is worth estimating from your own
5. Per-user scaling on both the Alteryx and the BI side

What Mammoth includes in the flat fee:

1. Data cleaning and preparation, no code
2. Visual transformations
3. Automation and scheduling
4. Dashboards, with unlimited viewers
5. Data warehouse included
6. Exploration and analysis tools
7. Monthly or annual plans
8. Flat-rate team pricing. The fee does not move when you add a viewer

Licence cost, 3-person team, first year:

• Alteryx Starter (3 users) + Tableau Creator (3 users): $9,000 + $2,700 = $11,700
• Mammoth Team (annual, up to 5 builders): $1,788/year

Licence cost only. Neither figure includes training, implementation or the run capacity an automated workload would consume.

Pricing & Feature Comparison Table

Real Cost Comparison: 1 Year Total

Licence cost only, on published rates. Training, implementation and metered run capacity are excluded from both columns, because they vary by team and we would be inventing them.

Small Team (3 people)

Alteryx approach:

• Alteryx Starter, 3 users: $9,000/year
• Tableau Creator for dashboards, 3 users: $2,700/year
• Total: $11,700/year

Mammoth approach:

• Mammoth Team: $1,788/year (up to 5 builders, billed annually)
• Dashboards: included, unlimited viewers
• Total: $1,788/year

Mid-Size Team (5 people)

Alteryx approach:

• Alteryx Starter, 5 users: $15,000/year
• Tableau Creator, 5 users: $4,500/year
• Total: $19,500/year

Mammoth approach:

• Mammoth Team: $1,788/year (5 builders, billed annually)
• Dashboards: included, unlimited viewers
• Total: $1,788/year

⚠️ Two honest caveats on the comparison above. It assumes Alteryx Starter is the right edition. Starter includes no automation runs at all, so a team that schedules anything needs Professional, which is quote-only and higher. It also assumes everyone needs a Creator-grade seat on both sides, which overstates the Tableau line for teams that are mostly viewers.

Alteryx Pricing: Wrapping Up

Alteryx is a powerful data analytics platform. It now publishes an entry price, $3,000 per user per year for Starter, which is more transparency than it offered a year ago, but that figure is the floor of a three-part model rather than the cost of a deployment.

On top of the seat, Alteryx involves:

• An annual contract
• Metered automation run capacity, which is where an automated workload actually lands
• A separate BI tool for dashboards
• A sales conversation for anything above Starter

The practical read: if you are one or two people doing occasional prep, the published Starter rate is the number. If you are automating a recurring pipeline for a team, it is not, and you cannot work out what is from published prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Alteryx cost?
Alteryx costs $250 per user per month for the Starter edition, billed annually, which is $3,000 per user per year, for teams of 1 to 10. Professional and Enterprise are priced by quote, but a UK reseller’s public price list puts a Full Creator at £4,800 a year on Professional and £9,200 on Enterprise. Starter includes no automation runs, so most teams that schedule work end up on one of those.

Is Alteryx free or paid?
Alteryx is paid. There’s no free edition on its pricing page, only a 30-day free trial of Alteryx One. After the trial, the cheapest option is Starter at $250 per user per month, billed annually.

What counts as an Alteryx automation run?
A workflow, plan or app that runs automatically, whether on a schedule, through the API or when a viewer runs it. Failed runs, validation runs and runs while you’re building don’t count. Starter includes no runs, Professional includes 50 and Enterprise 15,000.

What happens to my existing Alteryx Designer or Server licence?
Alteryx says Designer-only customers typically move to the Professional edition of Alteryx One, and customers with Designer and Server typically move to Enterprise. Both are priced by quote.

Is there a free alternative to Alteryx?
Yes. KNIME Analytics Platform is free and open source for personal use, and builds drag-and-drop data workflows much as Alteryx Designer does. Mammoth has a free plan for preparing data and publishing dashboards. I compare the paid options in Alteryx alternatives.

Considering Alternatives to Alteryx?

If the numbers above have you questioning whether Alteryx is the right fit for your team, that reaction is worth acting on.

Alteryx is built for data scientists. If your team is business analysts, finance, or operations (people who need clean, combined data for reporting, not a technical workflow tool) Mammoth was built specifically for you.

Mammoth Team is $1,788/year for up to 5 builders, less than a single Alteryx Starter seat at $3,000/year.
