    Hi Simon_Evans 

    This is simply a Power BI report that has been "Published to web". This is an option that is available with every PowerBI licence type, from Free  to Pro and Premium Per User. It does NOT require a Premium Capacity licence.

    On a Report go to file, embed report, publish to web(public)

    Doing this places the Report on a publicly-facing Microsoft server on the internet. Anyone with the URL for the report can access anonymously without a licence. The issue is that this web-space is crawled by tools like Google and Bing, so the report can turn up in internet search results. Because of this you shouldn't publish anything that is company confidential or proprietary. This option is not turned on by default for all users, the local administrator has to enable this if required.

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

    The Report itself has had a limited about of customisation, a different colour palette and a few rounded corners, but it is by no means the height of customisation that is available with Power BI, again this customisation is available with all licence types.

    check out this as an example :

    Hope this helps
