Talking about external clients

All,

Id like to have a larger conversation about how to license Microsoft, Azure, and Power BI so that my company can build and distribute reports and dashboards to external clients. I'd like them to not need to have a Power BI license or log in. I'd also like for them to be able to consume the content in the Power BI mobile apps. I have pored over the MS Docs but am still confused on the best route. Thank you in advance!

@Anonymous If you want no login or a license then there are two possible routes. The first is Publish to Web. Anyone with the link can access the report. The other possible route would be a custom web app and use Power BI Embedded.
