Certification and tenant notes

Microsoft-certified on the check date; version released 2026-10-29.

Microsoft certifies visuals whose code it has reviewed and that make no external calls; certified visuals work in PowerPoint/PDF export and email subscriptions, and admins can restrict a tenant to certified visuals only (Microsoft Learn). To see whether your tenant allows it in the service, Desktop, exports and subscriptions, run the free custom visual tenant check.

When native Power BI is enough

Our take: If you use one or two of its chart types, the core visuals plus a free Microsoft visual (Radar, Mekko, Bullet) usually cover it. Analytics+ pays off when a team standardises many report pages on one IBCS-styled toolkit.

Closest built-in visual as of Nov 2026: Line, column and combo charts with small multiples (GA). Two value axes at most; drill-down via hierarchies; small multiples on most cartesian charts.

Generator prompt

338/2,000 characters

Sign in or sign up free (5 credits on signup); the prompt is saved for 30 minutes and opens in the workspace once you're in.

What it costs

One generated visual costs 1–5 credits, once. The smallest pack that covers it is the Starter Pack: $9.99 for 10 credits, which leaves room for a few refinements. No per-user or annual fee: the file is yours.

People who build or view the report

Inforiver Analytics+ list price for 10 people: $360/year (Named users, 2–999 ($3/user/month)), or $1,080 over three years at today’s published prices.

Vendor price from the published pricing page, as of Nov 4, 2026. Excludes taxes and discounts.

Honest trade-offs

Not Microsoft-certified: Power BI only shows certified custom visuals in PowerPoint/PDF exports and email subscriptions, and tenants that allow certified visuals only will block it unless an admin deploys it as an organizational visual.
You own the .pbiviz and its TypeScript source, so there is no per-user licence and nothing expires; you also maintain it yourself when Power BI changes.
One generated visual does one chart well; replacing a 100-chart toolkit means generating each chart you actually use.
