Limitations for A or EM SKUs?
- 8 years ago
A SKUs and EM/P SKUs are identical in their resources and capabilities.
i.e, A1=EM1, A3=EM3, A4=P1 and so on...
It means that what ever EM/P SKU that you can upload a 10GB report, you can do that for the equivalent A SKUs.
Same goes for refreshes and DirectQuery, and so on..
Main differences are:
1. A SKUs valid on for Power BI Embedded scenario, while EM can be valid in embedding for Power BI users as well.
2. P SKUs can be used for consuming content through PBI.com or the mobile app, while A/EM do not.
3. A is billed by the hour, and can be paused, while P&EM are billed on monthly/ yearly commitment.

Hi nimrod,
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know and couldn't find.
By the way, the link you provided gave me a 404 error - perhaps it's not publicly available? Anyway, it did provide links to other helpful sites.
Thanks for your help.
