Power BI Embedded is Microsoft’s developer-focused API for embedding interactive analytics directly inside third-party apps, customer portals, and SaaS products. If you are building software and want customers to see live dashboards without logging into the Power BI service, this is where that journey starts. The question is not whether you can embed Power BI reports, you almost certainly can. The real question is whether it makes financial and architectural sense for your specific situation. This guide covers the when, the how, and the cost math that most tutorials skip.
