The license per user will be cheaper if you have a small amount of users. All users, the creators and readers must have the PPU (premium per user) in order to build or view the report. The workspaces must turn on a PPU capacity setting. Once the diamond with the person shows next to the name of the workspace, all the datasets can be refreshed 48 times.
I hope that helps,
