‹ QuerioDrag to compareThoughtSpot ›
At 100 people, ThoughtSpot Pro starts at $60,000 a year. Querio Core is $25,000.
ThoughtSpot sells its AI analyst, Spotter, per person. Pro starts at $50 a user a month, billed annually, with 25 Spotter questions per user a month. We don't price per seat. Querio Core is $25,000 a year however many people use it, and every plan includes the MCP server Claude connects to.
Spotter pricing per user vs Querio pricing for the whole team
ThoughtSpot lists its prices as "starting as low as", so treat its column as the lowest you'd pay.
| Team | ThoughtSpot Pro, per user | Querio Core, billed annually |
|---|---|---|
| 20 people | $12,000 a year, 500 Spotter questions a month | $25,000 a year, about 1,700 questions a month |
| 42 people | $25,200 a year, 1,050 Spotter questions a month | $25,000 a year, about 1,700 questions a month |
| 100 people | $60,000 a year, 2,500 Spotter questions a month | $25,000 a year, about 1,700 questions a month |

Past about 42 people, Querio Core costs less, and the gap grows by $600 a year with every hire. A smaller team can start on our Free plan for $0.
Spotter's 25 questions are per user. On Querio, the whole workspace shares one allowance: Core includes 10,000 AI credits a month, a question takes a handful (the example on our credits page uses 6), and extra credits are $0.25 each. ThoughtSpot sells unlimited Spotter as an add-on, and a usage plan from $0.10 a credit whose pricing page doesn't say what a credit is.
ThoughtSpot MCP vs Querio MCP for Claude and Cursor
ThoughtSpot's Spotter MCP Server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini send questions to ThoughtSpot. It's "available as an add-on" with ThoughtSpot Enterprise Edition and ThoughtSpot Embedded. For your own team that means Enterprise, which has no list price, so connecting your agents starts with a quote.
Our MCP server and CLI come with every plan, Free included. Claude connects through the MCP server, and Claude Code and Cursor through the CLI. Either way, the agent runs SQL and Python as its signed-in user, sees only what that person can see, and can propose a change to your context as a pull request that a person merges. None of it uses Querio credits: those are only spent when our own agent runs.
ThoughtSpot Spotter vs Querio: who gets SQL and Python
Spotter isn't a search bar. It holds a conversation, answers in Slack channels and threads within ThoughtSpot's permissions, and works from Spotter Semantics, a semantic layer you can keep under version control as TML.
In Querio you can read every answer. Each question runs as SQL and Python in a notebook your analysts can open, edit and rerun, on every plan. The notebook's charts and tables become dashboards with filters and scheduled refreshes, and automations email the results. On ThoughtSpot Pro, SQL, R and Python work (Analyst Studio) is an add-on.
Querio vs ThoughtSpot on your own data
Querio's Free plan includes unlimited users, 500 AI credits a month (about 80 questions), the Slack agent, the MCP server and the CLI, so you can test it on your own warehouse before you sign anything. If Power BI and Tableau are on your list too, ThoughtSpot vs Power BI vs Tableau: what their AI needs first puts all three side by side. Already moving off ThoughtSpot?
