Power BI Licensing may not be the most glamorous subject, but it is important to understand what options you have.

This week we discuss the different tiers of Power BI pricing, and what you get for them.  Starting at the free tier, we cover what you can do without a financial investment, through to the Pro licence, aimed at business use, particularly in SMEs all the way up to Premium, offering an Enterprise reporting capability.

We should note here, as it's not clear in the discussion, that even at the Premium tier, report creators will need Pro licences as well.

An overview of pricing and features can be found on the Microsoft website.

If you are looking at whether Premium will be cost effective for your organisation, Microsoft have produced this handy pricing calculator.

Finally, Premium per User may offer a more cost effective way for SMEs to unlock premium features.

You can download Power BI Desktop from here.

If you already use Power BI, or are considering it, we strongly recommend you join your local Power BI user group here.
