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!

Hi Dale,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

As far as I understand, On Premise is not free and it can be used only to reload data from free cloud sources like CRM Online, SharePoint Online etc. Once the trial period is over, I don't think I will be able to refresh data from a database like MySQL.

 

Please see the attached thread link:

I'm pretty confused now as I've seen some threads where they say its free and some where they say its not.

Kindly help me understand this.

 

Regards,

Arjun
