The short version
- Each has a real cost: Jedox cube modelling is a specialist skill closer to IBM TM1 than to a modern SaaS planning tool, so most customers depend on a partner or a single internal expert whose departure leaves the model unmaintainable.; Quid the company has changed name twice, from NetBase to NetBase Quid to Quid, which fragments documentation, third-party comparisons and support material across three brand identities and makes older guidance unreliable.
- They diverge on capability: Jedox covers In-memory OLAP cube, Quid covers Social listening.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Jedox
- Cube modelling is a specialist skill closer to IBM TM1 than to a modern SaaS planning tool, so most customers depend on a partner or a single internal expert whose departure leaves the model unmaintainable.
- Almost every deployment carries a partner implementation fee that frequently matches or exceeds the first year of licence, and that cost never appears in the vendor comparison you are shown.
- The Excel add-in is the strongest client, which means Mac-based and browser-only users get a materially thinner experience than the Windows majority.
- Dashboards and visual analytics are weaker than dedicated BI tools, so organisations typically keep Power BI or Tableau alongside Jedox and pay for both.
- Insight Partners took a majority stake in 2021, and the pressure toward a cloud subscription base has meant self-managed customers see new capability later than cloud ones.
Quid
- The company has changed name twice, from NetBase to NetBase Quid to Quid, which fragments documentation, third-party comparisons and support material across three brand identities and makes older guidance unreliable.
- Nothing is published on price and contracts sit well above ordinary listening tools, so the evaluation cost is high before you know whether the network analysis will actually be used.
- The network maps require an analyst who knows how to interpret them; teams without a dedicated insights person tend to use the platform as an expensive listening tool and never touch the capability they paid for.
- Historical data depth and source coverage are scoped per contract rather than included, so a question that needs five years of back data can require a contract amendment mid-project.
- Social platform access is subject to the same API restrictions that affect every listening vendor, and coverage of closed networks is thinner than the marketing implies, which matters if your category lives in private communities.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Jedox: Does Jedox publish pricing?
No. It is quoted per named user with tiering by volume, and modules such as consolidation are priced separately.
Quid: Is this the same company as NetBase?
Yes. NetBase and Quid merged in 2020, traded as NetBase Quid, and now sell under the single Quid brand.
Jedox: Is Jedox a BI tool or a planning tool?
A planning tool with reporting attached. Organisations almost always keep a separate BI tool for visual analysis.
Quid: Is it a social listening tool?
It includes social listening, but the reason to buy it is the network analysis over patents, filings, news and research. If you only need social listening, cheaper tools cover it.
Jedox: Can it run on premises?
Yes, on Windows or Linux, though the vendor pushes cloud and self-managed customers receive features later.
Quid: What does it cost?
Not published. Expect an annual enterprise contract priced by seats, data sources and historical depth.
Jedox: How does it compare to IBM Planning Analytics?
Similar cube architecture at a lower price point, with a friendlier web layer and a smaller partner ecosystem.
Quid: Who uses it day to day?
Corporate insights, strategy and innovation analysts more often than social media managers. It rewards someone trained in analysis.
