Power BI Embedded! Choosing SKU
Hello Community,
We are using Power BI Embedded for the project and are confused about the SKU to choose, read through a lot of blogs on this but we were unable to draw a conclusion.
Need help is understading the SKUs and subtypes based on the user base and data volume.
Thanks in advance!
P or EM is recommend if you want to used it for a long term. Basically, you can say P is better than EM especially when you have large amount of content.
Please check the details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-what-is
P SKUs (P1-P5) for embedding and enterprise features, requiring a monthly or yearly commitment, billed monthly, and includes a license to install Power BI Report Server on-premises.
EM SKUs (EM1-EM3) for organizational embedding, requiring a yearly commitment, billed monthly. EM1 and EM2 SKUs are available only through volume licensing plans. You can't purchase them directly.
- A (A1-A6) SKU family that requires no commitment and is billed hourly for use white labeling Power BI in applications, portals, and websites or as a way to test P or EM capacities.

RCelur The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Appreciate your Kudos.Hello amitchandak
We are unable to decide on what type to choose from within the A, EM and P SKUs for licensing. Our primary concern is which one would handle what amount of user base and data volume based on which we would like to make a choice.
Is there a reference as to what type of license would fit for what volume of users.
Hope this helps.
