LARGE SCALE POWER APPS CRUD DEVELOPEMENT + Power BI- MULTIPLE USERS - REDUCE LICENCE COST

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

To calculate the total cost including the Power BI service for all users in addition to the Power Apps costs, we will need to consider the cost of Power BI licensing for developer and non-developer users. Let's incorporate the additional cost of Power BI service for all users into the existing cost scenario:

Given the updated scenario with the following costs:

  • Developer users (entering and editing data) cost $20 per day
  • Non-developer users (viewing data) cost $5 per day
  • Power BI service cost for all users is $10 per user per month

Let's calculate the daily and monthly costs for Power BI service along with the existing Power Apps costs for 100 users:

  1. Power BI Service Cost for All Users:

    • Cost per user per month: $10
    • Total monthly cost for 100 users: 100 users * $10/user/month = $1,000
  2. Total Daily and Monthly Costs for 100 Users (Including Power BI Service):

    • Power Apps Daily Cost: $515
    • Power Apps Monthly Cost: $15,450
    • Power BI Monthly Cost: $1,000
    • Total Monthly Cost (Power Apps + Power BI): $15,450 (Power Apps) + $1,000 (Power BI) = $16,450

By incorporating the Power BI service cost of $10 per user per month for all 100 users, the total monthly cost for the organization would amount to $16,450. This total cost estimation considers both the Power Apps and Power BI service expenses for developer and non-developer users, providing a comprehensive overview of the overall expenditure for utilizing these Microsoft services.

 

 

Solution:

Reduce it by developing a unique front end with one power APP development licence. No power BI. Other users CAN use it for free.

Total Cost:

  • Developer users (entering and editing data) cost $20 per day
  • Non-developer users (viewing data) cost $0 per day
  • Power BI service cost for all users is $0 per user per month --NOT NEEDED

    HI 
     
    This is definitely a discussion you should have with Microsoft. Totally understand the gut punch thought of the price, but you would have to work it out with them, as we would not have anyway to validate what you are saying, or give discounts or even real advice over you long term use the overall platform :-(. Sorry, but I do hope you find a great solution.
