Costing evaluation if I am embedding QuickSight dashboard in my business portal

Hey, mates. I am a business owner and I want to embed the dashboard to my company website, so that to provide an additional service for them and they don’t have to access the QuickSight everytime. I want to know about the access my clients will need to see the dashboard on my website and what will be the coasting? Will I need to pay for everytime the customer access the dashboard in my portal.

Hello Saksham,

First of all Welcome to the. QuickSight Community.

When you talk about company website, i assume every one in the world can access the site and not your internal website which only your organization users can access.

If its public website and you want to embed dashboard, then you need to have capacity pricing.
user based pricing will not fly as QuickSight would not know who is accessing and how the charge. Hence, session based pricing comes into picture.

Also dashboard needs to be publicly accessible. ( Everyone can access)

Capacity pricing allows QuickSight customers to purchase Reader sessions or Amazon Q question capacity in bulk at discounted rates, without having to provision individual users in QuickSight. Capacity pricing is ideal for embedded applications or large-scale BI deployments. With Capacity pricing, the per-session costs decrease with commitments to larger usage

A Reader session is a 30-minute interval of time during which a QuickSight Reader can access dashboards and interact with data when subscribed to Capacity pricing. A Reader session starts with user-initiated action (for example, login, dashboard load, page refresh, drill-down, or filtering) and runs for the next 30 minutes. Keeping QuickSight open in a background browser window or tab does not result in active sessions until the Reader initiates action on the page.

Hey, thankyou so much for your response mate. Actually I meant to say , embedding the dashboard to company portal that only my clients can access.

Hello Saksham,

In that case you would know who your users are.

you can have either User-based pricing or Capacity pricing. you would need evaluate and decide on which pricing model that best fits your requirement.

Note:
When it comes Embedding.
with user-based pricing - you can have embedding for registered user only
with capacity pricing - you may have either embedding for registered user or Anonymous as pricing is based in session.

For more details on pricing see the recent post

Hope this helps.
