- TIBCO Spotfire Analyst, formerly called the Spotfire Professional client, a fully-featured client for working with data sources and creating complex analyses is installed on a user's local computer. It provides the most functionality of the clients, intended for users that create new analyses both for themselves and other users. Dashboards developed using Spotfire Analyst can be consumed by web clients (TIBCO Spotfire Consumer or Business Author) to share with geographically distributed users through a browser-based interactive interface. Connects to a TIBCO Spotfire Spotfire server, which provides access to server-delivered functionality such as server-side data access (Information Services) and a Library for storing and sharing analysis files, authentication and authorization, software updates, as well as custom extensions. You can select to run the client in offline mode.
- TIBCO Cloud Spotfire Analyst, basically the same as the Analyst but with some slight changes, for use of TIBCO's hosted Cloud solution.
- TIBCO Spotfire Desktop, a version of the Analyst that does not connect to a TIBCO Spotfire® Server. That means there is no requirement for having a TIBCO Spotfire Server, but it also means that the TIBCO Spotfire Desktop lacks any of the server-side functionality that is available in the Analyst.

- TIBCO Spotfire Consumer, formerly called the TIBCO Spotfire Web Player client, presents interactive analytic reports through a browser-based interface for geographically dispersed colleagues, customers, and business partners. It extends the reach of analytics to a broad base of business professionals and decision-makers throughout – and beyond – the enterprise, with interactive Spotfire dashboards. The Web Player JavaScript API integrates solutions with Spotfire Consumer. It enables the creation of mashups, which are defined as a combination of two or more web pages. These web pages can combine Spotfire Consumer with your own pages, or with those of other, third-party web applications. A Spotfire Consumer user launches a session via a web browser, by connecting to the URL for a TIBCO Spotfire Web Player server and logging in.
- TIBCO Spotfire Business Author, A powerful browser-based client within TIBCO Spotfire Consumer that allows business users to create and configure common business visualizations, add new data, and save and share analyses and visualizations with others. Business Author fulfills a need for users who need a lightweight web-based interface but need additional authoring ability beyond Spotfire Consumer's interactive-dashboard model. Web-based authoring of interactive reports and guided analyses may be done only if one has access to the TIBCO Spotfire Business Author license.
