Qlik Clients Asking Whether AI Can Do It for Less? Your Answer
Qlik clients are asking whether AI can do your work for less. Here is your answer, and how to earn on it for 3 years.
Your Qlik clients are watching their capacity bill grow and asking whether AI can do your work for less. Your answer is something AI alone can’t give them: numbers matched to their books. Bring your Qlik clients the answer itself, not another app to build. SQOR.ai computes answers from the client’s own data, matched to the books, with the cause, the forecast and a recommended action, and pays you 20% to 30% of the Proof of Value and every subscription payment for 3 years as a partner.
What is changing
Since 31 March 2025, new Qlik Cloud subscriptions are capacity-based, so the bill grows with the data a client loads.
Clients who wanted answers got apps their BI developers build and maintain, and an assistant that suggests charts on the data the team modeled.
What to do next
- List the clients you built Qlik apps for, and the questions they still bring to you.
- Show those questions answered in plain English with SQOR.ai, on their own data.
- Run SQOR.ai beside Qlik in a Proof of Value, scoped to 1 use case. SQOR.ai can read the sources Qlik connects to, so the client can run both while comparing.
- Stay in as the partner, and price your own data and training work on top.
Where SQOR.ai fits with Qlik

How the SQOR Partner Program pays

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Is SQOR.ai a Qlik alternative?
Yes. Qlik gives BI developers an associative engine and apps to build, and its assistant suggests charts on the data the team modeled. SQOR.ai gives the answer itself: computed from the client's data, matched to the books, with the cause, the forecast and a recommended action.
Does SQOR.ai bill by data volume?
No. SQOR.ai's pricing is based on usage, with unlimited seats and the data warehouse included, so the bill does not grow with the data a client loads.
My Qlik clients ask whether AI can do my work for less. What do I tell them?
Tell them AI alone guesses, and bring them what it can't do: SQOR.ai computes answers from their own data, matched to the books, with the cause and a recommended action. Stay in as their partner and earn 20% of the Proof of Value and every subscription payment for 3 years, or 30% from your 6th partner client each year.
