Reveal BI requires your dev team to own the SDK.
Every update. Every breaking change. Permanently.
Reveal BI (still an Infragistics product) has a genuinely capable SDK — .NET Core, Java, and Node on the server; React, Angular, Blazor, Vue, Web Components, and WinForms/WPF on the client — and a flat-rate, unlimited-end-user pricing model. Both platforms support self-hosted deployment. The difference is what embedding means for your engineering team long-term: Reveal embeds via SDK — your team owns the integration code, tracks SDK versions, and absorbs every breaking change. Yurbi embeds via iframe and API. Configure it once. It runs outside your deploy cycle.
Where Reveal BI creates friction for most ISVs
Reveal is a capable platform with real strengths. These are the specific patterns that cause friction for ISVs who chose an embedded analytics platform specifically to reduce their dev team's analytics burden.
Permanent SDK maintenance burden
Reveal's SDK-first architecture means your engineers own the integration permanently. Every SDK version update is a task in your backlog. Every breaking change is migration work your team absorbs. For ISVs who bought embedded analytics specifically to stop their dev team from building and maintaining analytics infrastructure, this is exactly the irony they were trying to avoid.
Flat-rate pricing — but no published number
Credit where it's due: Reveal advertises one flat rate with unlimited end users and no hidden fees (AI usage is capped per tenant). What it doesn't publish is the rate itself — pricing is quote only, so a sales conversation is required before you see a number. Yurbi publishes pricing on the website — Starter $10,000/year through Unlimited $30,000/year. You can calculate your exact cost before talking to anyone, and there are no surprises at renewal.
Server SDK narrows your stack options
Reveal's server SDK requires .NET Core, Java, or Node on your server infrastructure. If your product runs on PHP, Python, Ruby, or Go — or if you run on shared hosting — you need to add a separate server component just to host the analytics SDK. Yurbi is a standalone Windows, Linux, or Docker deployment with no dependency on your application's language or runtime.
SDK coupling makes switching harder
When analytics are embedded via SDK components woven into your application code, migration to another platform is a re-implementation — not a reconfiguration. Every view, every component, every data binding that references the Reveal SDK needs to be rebuilt. Yurbi's iframe + API model keeps analytics at the boundary of your application. Switching is a configuration change, not an engineering project.

Reveal BI vs Yurbi — questions answered directly
Reveal BI does not publish a price list — pricing is quote only, so you'll need to talk to Infragistics for a number. To be fair to Reveal, its model is ISV-friendly: it advertises one flat rate with unlimited end users and no hidden fees, with AI usage capped per tenant. The difference is that you can't see that rate before a sales conversation.
Yurbi publishes all pricing on the website — Starter $10,000/year (75 users), Growth $18,000/year (250 users), Scale $24,000/year (500 users), Unlimited $30,000/year — plus $500/year per additional production deployment. You can calculate your exact cost before talking to anyone.
Yes — Reveal BI supports self-hosted deployment including private cloud and air-gapped environments. Their server SDK runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. So on self-hosted deployment, both Reveal and Yurbi can satisfy on-premise or private cloud requirements.
The distinction is how self-hosted works in practice: Reveal's server SDK requires .NET Core, Java, or Node running on your server. If your product stack doesn't already include one of those runtimes, you're adding a new technology component specifically for analytics. Yurbi is a standalone self-contained deployment — Windows Server, Linux, or Docker. No dependency on your application's runtime or language.
It depends on what you're building and who owns it long-term. Reveal's .NET Core, Java, and Node server SDKs combined with React, Angular, Blazor, Vue, Web Components, and WinForms/WPF client SDKs give developers precise programmatic control — native component rendering, tight UI integration, and deep customization at the code level. If that level of rendering control is critical to your product's experience, Reveal has a genuine advantage.
The other side: SDK integration means your team owns the code permanently. When Reveal releases a new SDK version, your team evaluates and ships it. When there's a breaking change, your team migrates. Analytics configuration goes through your dev backlog. Yurbi's iframe + API approach keeps analytics at the boundary of your application — when Yurbi updates, your integration doesn't change. For most ISVs, that independence is worth more than pixel-level rendering control. A JS SDK is on our roadmap.
Reveal BI's server SDK supports .NET Core, Java, and Node. You need one of these running on your server to host the SDK layer. This works cleanly if your product already runs on one of those stacks. If your backend is PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, or another runtime — or if you run on shared or managed hosting — you need to add and maintain a separate server component specifically for the Reveal SDK.
Yurbi is a self-contained deployment — Windows Server, Linux, or Docker. It runs alongside your product without requiring any specific language runtime from your application. There's no SDK to integrate into your application code at all.
Being direct: Yurbi has no JavaScript SDK — embedding is iframe and API only. There's no native component-level integration with React, Angular, or Vue. SSO is session-token based via our DoLogin API, not SAML or OIDC (native SAML/OIDC is in development); sign-in does include two-factor (app, email, or text), Cisco Duo, breached-password screening, and lockout. Reveal has AI analytics features — conversational chat and AI Insights (Summary, Analysis, Forecast) — that Yurbi doesn't have yet. Dashboard interactivity is parameter and global-filter driven, not associative click-through. ARM architecture is not currently supported.
If SDK-based embedding, flat-rate unlimited-user pricing, or AI analytics are hard requirements for your product right now — Reveal may be the better current fit. Tell us your requirements in a demo and we'll give you a direct answer on fit rather than work around the question.
Reveal is the stronger fit when your team is .NET-native and wants deeply integrated SDK components that render natively inside your application UI — not inside an iframe boundary. If you need pixel-level rendering control, native framework component integration (React, Angular, Blazor, Vue), or are already invested in the Infragistics UI component ecosystem — Reveal's SDK is purpose-built for that.
Reveal also makes sense if you want analytics to run on your application's own authentication with no separate sign-in layer, if a flat-rate unlimited-end-user license suits your model, or if you need AI-powered analytics features like conversational chat in production. The ISVs who find Reveal frustrating are those whose non-developer team members need to configure analytics without opening a ticket, or whose dev teams start tracking SDK update cycles and realize they've recreated the maintenance burden they were trying to escape.
