Pricing confirmation for Power BI Visual

Question

Hi!

I am interested in acquiring the Clustered Column Chart (Standard) from PBIVizEdit, and it's strange that on Microsoft store the price for 10 users is cheaper than the price for 5 users.

I wanted to confirm how much would the total cost be if I choose to acquire the second plan for 10 users. If Microsoft charges considering 99 users or if I can customize and only ask for 10 users only.

Looking forward to hearing back from you,

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Grabriael, the difference you noticed is because PBIVizEdit applies different per‑user rates depending on the plan tier. The “Starter” plan (1–5 users) is priced higher per user, while the “Small” plan (6–99 users) has a lower per‑user rate. If you select the second plan for 10 users, Microsoft will not charge you for 99 licenses; you can specify the exact number of seats you need within that tier. So for 10 users under the “Small” plan, the cost would be 10 × $0.16 per month (after the free first month), or 10 × $1.60 per year if you choose annual billing.

That means, you can customize the seat count within the plan range, and the billing is calculated based on the actual number of users you assign, not the maximum allowed by the tier.

Hi Gabriel Pacubi Baierl Teixeira,

The pricing anomaly you noticed is a standard volume discount structure configured by the visual's publisher. Because ten users fall into the Small plan tier, you qualify for the reduced per-user rate, making the total cost for ten users genuinely cheaper than purchasing five users on the Starter plan. When acquiring Power BI visual licenses through the Microsoft Commercial Marketplace or AppSource, you are strictly billed for the exact number of seats you provision rather than a flat rate for the tier maximum of ninety-nine users.

During the checkout process, you have complete control to customize your exact seat count to ten. Based on the publisher's pricing table, ten users on the Small plan will cost exactly $1.60 per month in total or $16.00 for the entire year if you select the annual billing cycle. Once the transaction is complete, you can verify your active license quantity and manage individual user assignments by navigating to your Microsoft 365 admin center, going to the Billing section, and accessing the Your products page.

Answer 3

Marketplace Power BI visuals use per‑user pricing defined by the publisher in Partner Center. For each plan, the publisher sets:

• A minimum and maximum number of users for that plan.
• A price per user (monthly and/or yearly).

The total charge is calculated as:

price per user × number of licensed users selected for that plan

The “Small (6–99 users)” plan does not mean Microsoft will always charge for 99 users. It means the publisher allows any quantity in that range, and billing is based on the actual number of users chosen at purchase time.

So, if the 6–99 user plan is selected and 10 users are specified, the total cost is:

10 × plan’s per‑user price (after any free‑trial period, if enabled).

The fact that the per‑user price is lower for the 6–99 user plan than for the 1–5 user plan is expected volume discount behavior and is controlled by the visual’s publisher.

For exact currency amounts or to confirm anything specific to this offer (such as whether there are any publisher‑side minimums beyond what is shown), the offer’s Plans + Pricing tab in AppSource should be reviewed and, if needed, the publisher contacted directly.
