Microsoft just announced the pricing on PowerBI, which is now leaving preview and going into a production state. The big news was,
PowerBI is now "free". That's shocking, as the base cost was initially $20.00 per
any user in the preview. This opens many, many doors to using PowerBI throughout organizations leveraging Office365. The free instance is combined with a "non-free" instance called
PowerBI Pro, which unlocks more of the advanced enterprise features, but even it is only $9.00/user a month, which is significantly less than the $20.00 it was previously. Microsoft is obviously "all-in" with their online analytics suite.
We've been already using PowerBI in production environments with:
- Line of business data visualization
- Banking customer analysis
- Healthcare customer analysis
- Transaction analysis
- Store vs. online purchasing analysis
- System Center visualization
- DevOps visualizations
The pricing from Microsoft's site is as follows:
