Frequently Asked Questions
I hate on-going fees and I don't want to pay a monthly fee for my BI Dashboard. Is DevExpress Dashboard royalty-free?
Absolutely. Once you purchase a DevExpress Universal subscription, you can distribute all DevExpress BI Dashboard components included in our Universal Subscription royalty-free. And yes, you will not have to pay monthly fees once you deploy DevExpress BI Dashboard to your end-users/clients. Refer to our End User License Agreement for more information about terms/conditions or email clientservices@devexpress.com with specific license-related questions.
How is DevExpress Dashboard different from Power BI and Tableau?
1. Unlike Power BI and Tableau, DevExpress Dashboard offers straightforward licensing terms. Our simple, perpetual-use licensing model offers the following benefits to you and your enterprise:
You do not need to calculate the number of end-user licenses (which can change as business requirements change). DevExpress Dashboard does not require the purchase of end-user licenses.
You do not need to calculate the number of licenses for dashboard creators/designers separately. DevExpress licenses its products per software developer. One Universal license can give you access to all product features (refer to our End User License Agreement for mor information in this regard).
You can pay for a single developer license (Universal Subscription) and deploy our full-featured Dashboard Viewer/Designer across an unlimited number of apps. Once again, DevExpress does not require the purchase of individual end-user licenses or separate licenses for creators/designers.

2. Tableau Embedded Analytics and Microsoft Power BI Embedded do not offer effective options for embedding dashboard viewers/creators/designers into Windows desktop apps (existing solutions involve hacks using WebBrowser controls, IFRAME and Win32 API). DevExpress BI Dashboard allows you to embed and deploy stunning, fully interactive reports and dashboards into .NET WinForms or WPF desktop apps (yes, we ship native Dashboard Viewers for WinForms and WPF, not hacked web page wrappers).
3. Developing custom UI/visual elements for both Tableau and Power BI can be cumbersome from a developer's point of view ( example ). This is due to architectural limitations (Tableau/Power BI require the use of wrapped web pages). DevExpress BI Dashboard was built with native and reusable DevExpress UI components.
As such, DevExpress Dashboard is customizable and extendable by design. To customize our dashboard viewers/creators/designers, simply use our built-in customization options, and fully leverage the potential of the target UI platform (developers can use the power of C# or JavaScript and avoid the limited/non-intuitive configurations of JSON files/script parameters).
