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.; NetBase Quid nothing about pricing is published and the review sites carry no plan data either, so you cannot size a budget without entering a sales process, and reported costs put it out of reach of small and mid-sized teams.
  • They diverge on capability: Jedox covers In-memory OLAP cube, NetBase Quid covers Social listening.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.

NetBase Quid

  • Nothing about pricing is published and the review sites carry no plan data either, so you cannot size a budget without entering a sales process, and reported costs put it out of reach of small and mid-sized teams.
  • The two halves of the platform came from separate companies and still feel like separate products, which means the workflow from a social finding to a market-map investigation involves more manual bridging than the marketing implies.
  • The network visualisations are compelling in a demo and demanding in practice; teams without an analyst who understands clustering tend to produce pretty maps they cannot defend in a meeting.
  • Historical social data beyond the contracted window is typically an additional cost, so a retrospective study you did not scope at signing turns into a change order.
  • The rebrand from NetBase Quid to Quid has left documentation, support material and third-party integration listings under a mixture of names, which makes finding accurate current information about the product harder than it should be.

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.

NetBase Quid: Is NetBase Quid the same as Quid?

Yes. The merged company now trades as Quid and netbasequid.com redirects to quid.com.

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.

NetBase Quid: Does it publish pricing?

No. Contracts are annual and quoted, and independent review sites list no plan pricing at all.

Jedox: Can it run on premises?

Yes, on Windows or Linux, though the vendor pushes cloud and self-managed customers receive features later.

NetBase Quid: Is there a trial?

The site offers a two-week trial on request rather than open self-service signup.

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.

NetBase Quid: Is this a replacement for a social listening tool?

It can be, but you would be paying for the market intelligence half as well. If you only need social monitoring, cheaper tools cover it.
