I have two questions. If you want to include a Power BI report in SharePoint using webparts, do you have to have a Power BI Embedded license?
How much does it cost now to expose Power BI reports to the web as the old links to that information are different?
Before posting these questions, I looked all over the interwebs for this information and could not find it. Here is what I found. I read this post https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-publish-to-web/ which includes all of the technical information on Power BI Publish to web. What it does not include is information on pricing.
This site https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/publishtoweb/ leads me to belive that Publish to Web is free for non-Profits. There is no detaild pricing information available here. The links that I used to look at regarding Power BI Web pricing now refer me to this site https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/power-bi-embedded/ which talks about Power BI embedded not publish to web.
I read something else online which says that you can use webparts instead of embedding and expose Power BI content via Publish to web so that internal users could access the report without having a Power BI License. Based on the information I have read on the embedded Power BI license, I thought that was violating licensing terms.
As licensing has changed, there seems to be a gap in the documention regarding embedded and pricing. If anyone can provide more claritiy on this, I would appreciate it.
