Microsoft Power BI Subscription

Question

Hi Team,

I am Data Developer for Garden International School, we are planned to subscribe Power BI to build our dashboard in this school. This dashboard is for all teachers in this school. Can you provide the price quotation for any package required for this installment. It is urgent and happy to have it ASAP.

You can reach me via email: [Moderator note: Personally Identifiable Information removed]@gardenschool.edu.my

Thankyou for your help.

Best Regards,

Dear @Athir Junaidi

I completely understand your request. For Microsoft Power BI, the pricing is based on licensing models rather than a single package, and the most suitable option depends on how many users will create dashboards vs. only view them.

You can find the official and most up-to-date pricing details here: Power BI Pricing Plan | Microsoft Power Platform (Please note that pricing may vary depending on your country/region)

As a forum moderator, please understand that I’m unable to reach out to you via email directly. To receive a formal quote tailored to your school, I recommend using the pricing page above to contact Microsoft Sales or your local Microsoft partner.

Additionally, you may use the Microsoft AI live chat available at the bottom-right corner of the pricing page or click "Get started" and contact sales specialist, they can assist you quickly with a quotation and recommend the most suitable plan based on your requirements.

I hope the information shared is helpful. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I'm looking forward for your update.

Answer 2

Pricing quotations and licensing offers for Power BI aren't provided in this context.

For education scenarios, the following options are relevant:

1. Microsoft 365 A5 for Education
   • Includes Power BI Pro for eligible users in the institution.
   • Suitable when the school already uses or plans to use Microsoft 365 A5; teachers can use Power BI Pro to create and share dashboards and reports.
2. Power BI Pro (standalone or add-on)
   • Cloud-based analytics service for creating and sharing dashboards and reports.
   • Available as a standalone or add-on license for A1 and A3 education plans.
   • Appropriate when teachers need to publish and share dashboards with colleagues.
3. Power BI Premium
   • Provides dedicated capacity, advanced features, and broad distribution without requiring every viewer to have a Pro license.
   • Appropriate when the school needs large-scale analytics, advanced AI features, and organization-wide sharing.

To obtain an official price quotation for Garden International School:

1. Contact the school’s Microsoft licensing or procurement partner (often via the school’s IT or purchasing department) and request pricing for:
   • Microsoft 365 A5 for Education (if considering a suite that includes Power BI Pro), and/or
   • Power BI Pro education licenses, and
   • Power BI Premium capacity (if broad, large-scale distribution is required).
2. If the school already has Microsoft 365 A5:
   • Verify which staff already have Power BI Pro included and plan additional licenses only if needed.
3. If self-service sign-up is enabled in the tenant:
   • Individual users can start with a free Fabric license or Pro trial to validate requirements before committing to a full subscription.

All commercial pricing and formal quotations must come from Microsoft or an authorized education reseller based on the school’s region and existing agreements.
