Hi beaconfbb,
Below you'll find some clarification on your questions:
- Power BI Free licences are free for all users regardless of office 365 subscriptions. Power BI Pro licences are included in the Office 365 E5 licence, not in other licences
- The cost of one Power BI pro licence is 9.99 dollar.
- within Power BI there are only Free and Pro licences, no developer licences. all users who you will be sharing reports with will require a Pro licence (The rule of thumb is that you can use a free licence to develop all your content, but when you want to share that content with other users you will require a pro licence). If 800+ users will require access it might also be worth looking into Power BI premium, this is an alternative to a Pro licence where you do not need to buy a licence per user

Thanks Tim,
One more set of questions and i think i will be good 🙂
Can i have Pro licenses for 3-5 developers and the rest 800 be under premium? If the user is having premium license is that enough for the user to see the report shared by our developers?
Thanks
Hi beaconfbb,
If you take a premium licence this would be enough for both the developers and users. Then you would not need the pro licences.
Best regards,
