Flinker IFC Visual licensing
Business is per user. Each person who opens a report in Power BI Service needs their own license, purchased via Microsoft AppSource and assigned in admin.microsoft.com.
Enterprise is per tenant. One license covers all editors and MS365 users in your organization. External viewers in embedded scenarios require no additional licensing.
One step to get started
Everything runs inside your Microsoft 365 tenant. No external setup required.
Share with Business
Upgrade to Business to publish reports in Power BI Service. Each user gets their own license via AppSource.
Scale with Enterprise
One tenant license covers all editors and MS365 viewers, embedded, and commercial deployment.
Data Services & Support

FAQs

Can I try the IFC Viewer before paying?
How do I purchase Flinker Power BI Visual licenses?
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.
Is pricing per user?
Can I use the data connector without the IFC Viewer?
What is per-tenant pricing?
How are Business and Enterprise billed?
Enterprise is billed per tenant. A single license covers all editors and MS365 viewers in your organization — no per-user assignments needed. For project-specific, embedded, or commercial deployment rights, talk to sales.
Do viewers also need a license?
What payment methods do you support?
Need semantic models without the 3D visual?
Use the Flinker Data Connector on its own to load complete openBIM data into Power BI semantic models, dataflows and pipelines.
