Power Virtual Agent
- 1 year ago
Hello LB_Team
You're building a Power Virtual Agent (PVA) chatbot to embed within a Power BI dashboard for internal client use. The $200/month pricing includes 2,000 sessions per month, where a session is a 60-minute user interaction with the bot, regardless of the number of messages exchanged during that time. This pricing does not offer unlimited sessions—if usage exceeds 2,000 sessions, additional packs of 1,000 sessions can be purchased for $100 each.
Since the bot is embedded in a Power BI report and used only by internal users within the same Microsoft 365 tenant, there's no need for additional per-user licensing. The pricing and licensing are based on the bot's usage volume, not the number of users, as long as the users are authenticated and belong to the same tenant.
You can embed the chatbot in Power BI using an HTML viewer visual or a custom web component. This setup is fully supported for internal use and allows for a seamless experience within Power BI Service. You can monitor session usage and performance in the Power Platform Admin Center and plan for scale if the number of users or interactions grows

Hi LB_Team ,
1. Does the $200/month cover unlimited sessions?
No. The $200/month (USD) price for PVA is per tenant, for 2,000 sessions per month (not unlimited). One "session" is a single user’s conversation with the bot, with a session ending after 60 minutes of inactivity.
If you need more than 2,000 sessions/month, you can purchase additional sessions in increments.2. If the bot is embedded in Power BI and only used by users with the same tenant email, does it affect pricing?
No, embedding the bot in Power BI and limiting access to users within your tenant does not reduce the cost or change the licensing model. The $200/month covers 2,000 sessions for the tenant, regardless of how/where the bot is accessed (Teams, web, Power BI, etc.).
LB_Team Hey,
Please refer below
- How much will be cost, will it be one license or all user needs to have it
- Cost per Tenant & Sessions
$1.000 per tenant/month
2.000 sessions per month
1 session is:- 60 minutes of conversation user and bot
- 100 messages between user and bot
- Cost per User & Sessions
You don't need to pay the license for the user, the license is per tenant the same as the sessions.
- Cost per Tenant & Sessions
- Deployment model
The deployment is per bot, you can deploy inside Facebook, Microsoft Teams, Custom Website, and others, but if you will deploy inside the Private channel, you will pay the license inside this tool, which is not related to Power Virtual Agents license.

Can we restrict the session for tenant?
What does a session mean? Is it like opening and closing of the chat or ending the chat?
