VizForge vs Numerro

The free VizForge Design Studio and Numerro, compared for Power BI report design. Every fact about Numerro links to its source, checked 5 Nov 2026, and we say where Numerro is the better choice.

By · Founder & Reliability Engineer · Updated

Numerro sells a Power BI design toolkit: a members' hub of templates, visual designs, themes, grids, headers, navigation bars and paginated report templates, plus member resources such as a Figma design kit and an icon and palette builder. You download the component files and assemble your report in Power BI Desktop. A free Starter pack gives 7 toolkit components and a look around the Content Hub. Paid licences are annual: Premium starts at $99 a year for one user ($249 for a small team), and client work needs the Professional licence, from $249 a year for one user. There is a 30-day refund window.

The VizForge Design Studio is a free editor in the browser rather than a download library. You set the page size and brand, pick a layout or start from a gallery template, and export a background, a theme JSON and a PBIP project that opens in Desktop with the page already placed. Nothing is installed and no account is required.

The real difference is components versus composition. Numerro gives you many finished building blocks (header styles, navigation bars, paginated layouts) that you copy into a report. VizForge generates one coherent page around your brand and gives it to you as a project. If you assemble reports from a kit every week, or you need paginated report templates, Numerro covers ground we don't. If you want a branded page without a licence, start in the Design Studio.

Numerro pricing model

Numerro has a free Starter pack (7 toolkit components), then annual licences: Premium from $99 a year for one user ($249 Small Teams, $499 Large Teams) and Professional, the tier with commercial rights for client reports, from $249 a year for one user ($599 Small Teams, $1,299 Large Teams). Small Teams covers up to 5 members, Large Teams up to 25, and there is a full refund within 30 days. The VizForge Design Studio is free with no account; anonymous exports carry a small VizForge mark that a free account removes.

Choose Numerro if…

  • You need paginated report (.rdl) templates alongside your interactive reports.
  • You build many reports from a shared kit of headers, navigation bars and grids.
  • You run Power BI Report Server and want components tested on it.
  • Your designers also want a matching Figma kit.

Choose the VizForge Design Studio if…

  • You want a branded page in minutes without buying a licence.
  • You'd rather export one coherent page as a PBIP than assemble components by hand.
  • You need a background image and theme JSON that match each other exactly.

Can you use both?

You can combine them: export the background and theme from the Design Studio, then drop Numerro components onto that page in Desktop. Theme JSON applies report-wide, so check that it doesn't override a component's own colours.

FAQ

Does VizForge have a header and navigation bar library like Numerro?

Not as separate components. Layouts in the Design Studio include header styles, but there is no standalone component library today.

Can I use VizForge designs in Power BI Report Server?

We haven't tested Report Server. The background PNG and theme JSON are standard files; the PBIP project format needs Power BI Desktop.
