Diffrence between Power BI Free and Power BI Desktop or are these both same?
Hi ,
I am very new to Power BI. I want to intergrate Dynamics 365 CRM to Power BI. I want to know if there is a diffrence between Power BI Free and Power BI Desktop or are these both same?
Hi VShetty,
They are two different things. The Power BI Free is a license while Power BI Desktop is a software. The Desktop is one part of the Power BI analysis kit.
About license, please refer to https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/ and service-free-vs-pro.
About Power BI Desktop, please refer to power-bi/desktop-what-is-desktop.
Best Regards,
Dale
