Costs of PowerBI Cloud

[amien]

Can someone explain what are the costs for PowerBI Cloud?

I know this site : https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/

* Power BI Free  : 1GB per user per month (and 250 per data model) : 0 dollar

* Power BI Pro : 10GB  per user per month (and 250 per data model) : 10 dollar

So this would mean if i have 25 users, it would cost 25 x 10 dollar = 250 dollar per month.

are there any additional costs? for O365 for example?

Yes. Only $250 if you are comparing it to Tableau or Qlik. Unbelievable value for money.

@amien In addition to what @Greg_Deckler said there are other Office365 components that you would need in order to fully support all the features for Power BI Groups. (Exchange, One Drive for Business) - but are not required for using Power BI.

Just adding on to the answers from @Greg_Deckler and @Seth_C_Bauer.

Basic Azure AD is free with Power BI. If you just want to get Power BI Pro licenses, the $250 / month in your example is the total cost. As @Seth_C_Bauer said, some components are integrations with O365, and anything that depends on O365 will require an O365 license.

Power BI does require an Azure AD account to authenticate to so you need to have an Azure account or Office 365 tenant setup. I am not entirely clear on the costs for must having a basic Azure account stood up solely for Azure AD accounts to sit in, but my guess is that would be your least expensive route.

BTW, yes, $250 per month and it requires an annual subscription and I believe you pay for that up front (don't quote me, I'm not a licensing expert, Microsoft has people whose actual title is "Licensing Expert").
