Integration with Power BI

[walid140891]

Hello,

We are an ISV and we had tthe intention to embbed power bi reports into our product so that our customers can use it.

But it looks like, when using Power BI embedded we have to pay more than 700$ monthly, and for us this not possible for the moment. We want to give our customers the possibility to get data analysis reports via our application (They are using an azure active directory authentication B2C). Any suggestions for a cheapper solution?  we only need to get small percentage of power bi embedded capabilities, can we pay less? can power bi for organization be an alternative?

@walid140891 - Power BI Embedded starts at $1/hour and you are only charged when the service is running. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/power-bi-embedded/

So, depends on if you need it to be 24/7 at the start.

You could theoretically use Power BI Embed (EM SKU) at $650/month I think is where that starts EM1 SKU.

Hi @Greg_Deckler 

Thank you for your clear answer, since we have some clients from very different time zones (North America, central Europe, middle east, Australia, etc), and we are totally new to PBI we think it will be bit challenging to stop the service and run it or to ask the customer to see reports only 1 hour per day.

Can we use the Power BI Embedded (Embed content for organization concept) while we ask every customer to get a Power BI Pro Account ($9.99 Monthly per user) with having the possibility to automate the service running time for every account or azure tenant?

We highly appreaciate your help.

@walid140891 - I have seen it done where a company just uses the Pro model and builds the cost of the Pro license into the price of their service subscription so yes, you could go that route.
