Power BI vs Looker Studio

We deliver code, configuration and documentation in your environments, without lock-in.

THE CHALLENGE

Choosing between Power BI and Looker Studio

Choosing between Power BI and Looker Studio is not a matter of preference: it depends on your volume, your processes and your horizon.

  • Per-user cost and license type

    Power BI and Looker Studio handle licensing differently depending on viewers, editors and data volume.

  • Local modeling versus direct connectivity

    Power BI relies on a local data model; Looker Studio connects natively to sources like BigQuery or Google Analytics.

  • Team learning curve

    Each tool demands different skills in DAX or data exploration, which shapes internal adoption.

APPROACH

Choosing between Power BI and Looker Studio

We decide with your data, not with vendor bias.

  1. Inventory data sources and users

    We identify the databases, services and number of users who will consume the reports.

  2. Define the key dashboards

    We agree on the KPIs and visualizations each area needs on a recurring basis.

  3. Test modeling on both

    We build a pilot report on each platform over the same data and measure effort and results.

  4. Compare total cost of ownership

    We project licenses, infrastructure and maintenance for each option over several years.
