What is the difference between Power Query vs Power BI?

Power Query is a self-service ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool which runs as an Excel add-in. It allows users to pull data from various sources, manipulate said data into a form that suits their needs, and load it into Excel.

 

Power BI is a SaaS service which enables business users to service their own business intelligence needs. It provides built-in ability to connect to SaaS services like Salesforce and many others. It provides connectivity to on-premises and cloud sources using a combination of direct query and periodic data refreshes. It is available as a freemium service. It is the successor to 'Power BI for Office 365' that was based on Microsoft's Office 365 and SharePoint Online products, and, through Excel 2013, encompasses Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power View.
