Help/clarification needed regarding Free and Pro version

Hi!

 

I'm new to Power BI and I'm using the free version now. I want to know whether I will be able to publish my dashboard and schedule it to run after the trial period is over...

 

I have a potential client who is managing a very small-medium sized business and non of them have any BI related knowledge or used BI before. For me to convince them to use Power BI, I need to assure that even after the trial period they can use it(with 1 GB limitation) and won't be forced to buy it or they are not even going to try it. But I myself am not sure if 'publish/Schedule tasks' will work after the trial. Any help would be much appreciated

 

Thanks and Regards,

Arjun

    Also, is On premise gateway a free edtion option? If its not free, does that mean I can't even manual reload?

    Hi armoco,

     

    Please refer to this site for details: powerbi-free-vs-pro. I quoted the main point here:

    >>> The main difference between a Free or Pro user is centered around sharing and collaboration. 

    Both the two gateways are free to use. 

     

    Best Regards!
