How does it compare to Spotfire? About to have to start implementing it in my business per the request of some clients.

Never used Spotfire, have used Tableau. Not sure specifically what your concerns are. It's generally pretty user friendly, though this can change depending on where your data is coming from and how often you are making major changes over time (see versioning comment in the link below).
Generally speaking, this review of pros/cons is pretty accurate relative to what I hear from clients who have been using it and my own experiences with the tool:

Tableau is the best tool for visualization and data discovery, in my opinion. I’m in BI and I’ve developed against almost every platform. What is your back end?

Basically getting revenue data every month in the form of .csv and want to put it on a cloud based server so the clients can access the dashboard at any given time and see what visualization they want

If it's as simple as that, Google Data Studio may be more than sufficient? But Tableau can certainly handle it... little like taking a bazooka to a elementary school playground fight... but it can do it.

I will check it out, but its a lot of data and only getting more as each month passes. Right now its about 150 MB of revenue data which needs to be visualized in every way imaginable with good resolution.
The problem is with excel calculations taking forever to run on the dataset.

Look at PowerPivot in Excel. You can import the .csv into in-memory tables and have fast calculations. Tableau would work also. It used to be very expensive, but now Tableau Desktop is only $70 or so per month. Server licenses are even cheaper.
