Flinker IFC Visual licensing

Every user who views or interacts with Flinker IFC Visual reports on Power BI Service needs access through a licensed tenant — designers and viewers alike require Pro or Enterprise.

All team members are covered by your single tenant license — no per-user fees. External viewers (e.g., embedded public reports) do not require additional licensing.

FAQs

Can I try the IFC Viewer before paying?

Yes. The Free plan lets you use the IFC Viewer in Power BI Desktop with a starter template. You only need to pay when unlocking Pro features or enabling sharing in the Power BI Service.

You have two options:

1) Single-user licenses (self-service via Microsoft AppSource)
Buy seats in Microsoft AppSource. Billing runs through your Microsoft purchase flow, and your Microsoft 365 admin assigns the licenses to the right users.

2) Tenant-wide licenses (covers everyone, no assignments)
For tenant-wide licensing, contact us at sales@flinker.app (or book a call). Tenant-wide licensing automatically covers all users in your tenant, so no one needs to assign licenses to individuals.

Our main plans are billed per tenant (no per‑user fees). For small pilots, you can also purchase single-user licenses via Microsoft AppSource.

A tenant is your organization’s dedicated Microsoft 365 environment — your users, groups, domains, security policies, and SharePoint/Teams data. Our pricing applies to your tenant as a whole.

The Pro plan is billed per tenant at a flat monthly rate. All editors within your tenant get access to Pro features — there’s no per-user fee.

No. Viewers only require a license once you enable Power BI Service sharing. In the Free and Pro plans, only editors in Desktop are covered.

We support credit card payments via Stripe and invoice billing for Pro and Enterprise customers.
