    The method used in the link you shared involves using Power Apps and making use of the Power Apps custom visual or the application this particular website is attempting to sell.  Power BI itself isn't doing any write backs, but is simply surfacing up a Power Apps solution.  Its Power Apps (and flow) that would be handling any of the data updates.  The Power On app i have no experience with, but it likely has its own limitations.  I'm unsure what access these apps have to the data within the report it is surfaced within, if any.

I know nothing of Visual Planning, so you would need to contact them.  It didn't look free, nor part of Microsoft.

 

As for Power Apps, the answer will depend on your Microsoft Office license.  Certain license types have a free limited version of Power Apps included.  I'd suggest having a look at the power apps pricing/licensing page:
