Power BI Pro vs Premium Per User vs Premium capacity?

Three tiers. Power BI Pro ($14/user/month, included in E5) lets a user publish and view reports in workspaces — the workhorse SKU. Power BI Premium Per User ($24/user/month) adds paginated reports, AI features and larger model sizes per user. Premium capacity (P SKUs, F SKUs in Fabric) is a fixed-cost dedicated compute pool — everyone in the org can view reports without a per-viewer license, while authors still need Pro or PPU.

Rule of thumb: under 250 viewers, individual Pro licenses are cheaper; above that, capacity-based pricing wins.
