Licensing is calculated based on the machine's total capacity rather than actual usage. From my point of view, it feels like paying for unused services. This aspect should be considered.
While I am not sure about the exact details, the pricing seems reasonable. The cost might increase with multiple data sources, as it likely involves per-source licensing.
Licensing is core-based for Qlik Replicate. Based on the cores that you have in the source system and the target, you’ll identify the license for it. If the source system has many cores, then the load that Replicate has to use to pull the data from the source system would be high. So, the licensing would be decided based on the cores. Generally, the advantage of Compose or the purpose of Compose will come into the picture because, in the complete stack of Qlik integration, Replicate is doing just one job of replicating data from an existing OLTP system to another OLTP system. Whereas Compose has to create from this OLTP system an OLAP system, which is a data warehouse. So, that makes a complete stack of Qlik integration, which is advantageous for the customer. They see that this tool is taking away the load from my source system. It’s not loading my core banking system, which has hundreds or thousands of queries per second running on it. My transactions are not getting affected, and I don’t want my sales or banking to be impacted if my data warehouse has to be loaded in real-time. So, what I do is replicate the data using the log files of the system. I pull the data without affecting the database at all. After that, Compose creates a data warehouse automatically. This is very interesting to the customer and very advantageous or profitable.
The pricing could be better. Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint. It doesn't necessarily scale well based on how much data you actually process. The pricing might be around $45,000. It is just a general estimate because my focus is on analysis and deployment.

Qlik Replicate offers an annual subscription, but after five years a solution like GoldenGate offers a lower price. Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use.

I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution. It depends on how you negotiate. Most products in this area have a similar cost. They are generally flexible.

The licensing cost for Qlik Sense was fairly low, and is similar to other platforms that we use. Pricing for it is very reasonable. The only additional cost we incurred was for the resource to support the product.

Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Qlik Replicate's pricing a nine out of ten.
Licensing costs are reasonable and depend on your needs.
