STARTER PRICING
Qlik Talend Cloud® Starter for SaaS loading
Starter loads SaaS apps and select databases into the cloud. You get managed pipelines, a catalog, and Analytics users. Add capacity as you grow, or move up for CDC.
IS STARTER RIGHT FOR YOU?
Quick fit check
Check your sources, deployment needs, and data prep needs against what Starter covers.
Choose Starter if this sounds like you:
You need to load SaaS apps into a cloud warehouse without custom pipelines.
Your first sources are SaaS plus MySQL, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL.
A first-band volume near 50 GB moved each month is enough to begin.
You want a usage dashboard and a clean path to Standard later.
Look at a higher edition if:
You need log-based CDC or open lakehouse on Apache Iceberg tables.
You must transform, clean, or productize data with APIs and quality.
You need SAP or Mainframe sources, or the broadest source coverage we offer.

Where Starter is genuinely different
Starter is the simplest edition. It’s built for SaaS loading, not real-time CDC or data quality.
Load SaaS apps
Move data from a wide range of SaaS applications into leading cloud warehouses. Pre-built connectivity replaces hand-coded jobs for the first pipelines most teams need.
Core cloud databases
Starter also moves MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. That covers many cloud-first projects. Broader databases, files, and IBM i are in Standard.
Cloud pipelines
Pipelines run as a managed cloud service with ready-to-query schemas. You do not stand up a separate movement stack to get the first trusted tables into the warehouse.
Find the data
A data catalog shows datasets you can use. Field-level metadata and profiling help people trust what landed before they build the first Analytics apps.
Users and questions
If you buy Qlik Talend Cloud on its own, Starter includes 10 full Analytics users and 25 Qlik Questions each month. MCP Server is included for connected AI workflows.
Watch capacity
A usage dashboard tracks data moved against the committed band. Add capacity if volume grows, or move to Standard when CDC or Iceberg becomes the next requirement.
CAPACITY OVER TIME
Your capacity, over time
- 1
Commit a first band
Starter is sized on data moved each month. Size it for ongoing SaaS and database loads, not the one-time initial load, since that first load won’t repeat.
- 2
Watch the dashboard
Use the telemetry dashboard to see trends before you hit the band. Alerts can notify owners as usage approaches the subscribed limit so you can plan the next buy.
- 3
Add a movement band
If SaaS volume grows and you still don’t need CDC, add capacity on Starter. Capacity is an annual commitment, and going over in one month won’t cut you off.
- 4
Move up an edition
When you need live CDC, open lakehouse, hybrid access, or more than 10 full analytics users, Standard is next. Quality and APIs wait for later editions.
Starter pricing FAQs
Starter uses a capacity model based on data moved each month, not named seats. You commit to a band, watch usage, and add a band if pipelines grow. Exact band pricing is quoted.
Starter covers SaaS applications plus MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. Targets include leading cloud warehouses. Broader sources and CDC start on Standard. Quality and the fullest source set come later.
If you buy Qlik Talend Cloud alone, Starter includes 10 full Analytics users and 25 Qlik Questions each month. A paid Analytics edition replaces these default entitlements.
Pipelines keep running. If usage stays above your capacity, Qlik may bill an overage and help you add more. A short spike is overage. Steady growth means it’s time to add capacity.
