Distributing reports built in PowerBI Dekstop

Hi, will_v 

Based on your current description: "I can get a premium subscription for $20/month which would allow me to share my report with others", actually if you want to use the Pro license to unblock the "Share reports" feature to share your published report with other members, the other members should at least also have the Pro license to access the report you shared with them. If the other members are all free users for the Power BI product, my suggestion is that you can try to use the "Publish to web" feature to generate a public report link for this report so that anyone who get this web URL link can access and view your report, please feel free to check this official document link:

Publish to web from Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Regading all the sharing content features with the pre-requirements for them, please check this official document link:

Share Power BI reports and dashboards with coworkers and others - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

Best Regards,

Aniya Zhang
