Power BI Pro is the full version of Power BI, which means it comes complete with the ability to use Power BI for both building dashboards, reports and unlimited viewing, sharing and consumption of your created reports (and reports shared by others) which is not possible with Power BI Desktop.
The biggest difference of Power BI Pro vs. Free is the fact that with Pro you have the option and the ability to share the data, reports, and dashboards with a large number of other users that also have a Power BI Pro license while also being able to create an app based workspace. Furthermore, in Power BI Pro vs. Free you have a 10 GB per Pro user data storage limit.
Who is Power BI Pro for?
Primarily, Power BI Pro vs. Free is licensed by individual users. This means that for you to use Power BI Pro in your organizations means each individual will receive their won Power BI Pro license and the collaborative use of which will allow every member of the organization to integrate their workspace and therefore, their efforts. In other words, if your organization has 10 people that need the full capabilities offered by Power BI Pro to create dashboards and reports, you require 10 licenses of Power BI Pro. If you have a much greater quantity of user, Power BI Premium would be a better idea considering the scale of operations as eventually, the cost will far exceed the benefits.
