Pricing & licenses

Tabular Editor 3 is commercially licensed on a subscription basis with either monthly or yearly commitment. It is offered in three different editions that are similar feature-wise, but differ depending on the type of Power BI or Analysis Services installation you intend to use it with. All prices are per user. More details here.

Tabular Editor 3 is the culmination of many years of development and investment based on our learnings, community feedback and experience with Tabular Editor 2. By offering Tabular Editor 3 as a commercial product, we are able to innovate and deliver amazing new features at a rapid pace, offer training material, documentation, guidance and 24/7 support.

Yes! Simply download the tool, install it and choose the “Request a 30 day trial” option upon launch. No credit card information needed – only your e-mail address, for verification purposes (we won’t ever spam you!). The trial is a fully functional version of Tabular Editor 3 (corresponding to the Enterprise Edition).

The free and open-source Tabular Editor 2 is not going anywhere. We are committed to keeping it up to date, providing bugfixes and community support. Tabular Editor 2 lets you access and edit all the same data model objects and properties as Tabular Editor 3. Moreover, Tabular Editor 2 is fully compatible with the folder-based file format available in Tabular Editor 3, so the tools can be used interchangeably. But if you stick with Tabular Editor 2, you are going to miss out on premium features such as our new DAX editor, our hi-dpi, multi-monitor, fully customizable UI and our DAX debugger.
