A Domo renewal used to be a routine decision. After Progress Software’s acquisition of Domo, many customers are treating their next renewal as a decision point.
As contracts come up for renewal, organizations are weighing questions about cost, product direction, AI strategy, and whether Domo still fits their long-term plans. For many, that evaluation leads to Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Fabric.
If you’re comparing Domo vs Power BI, read on. Below, we compare what each platform costs for a 250-person company and when switching makes sense
What Domo’s New Ownership Means for Your Next Renewal
In September 2026, Progress Software acquired Domo’s AI and data platform business. As a result, many customers approaching renewal are taking a fresh look at their analytics strategy.
If your contract is coming up for renewal, consider:
- Will pricing or contract terms change?
- How will the product roadmap evolve under Progress?
- Who will own support and customer success moving forward?
- Are your analytics, governance, and AI requirements different than when you originally chose Domo?
- Is this the right time to compare alternatives before committing to another multi-year agreement?
Here’s what Progress has said so far. Domo’s consumption-based pricing is staying, and it already makes up more than 85% of Domo’s recurring revenue. On its September 2026 earnings call, Progress said it expects a significant share of Domo’s remaining seat-based contracts to convert to consumption pricing.
If you’re on a seat-based Domo contract, ask your account team directly whether your renewal will move to credits. That is the change most likely to affect your budget.
Domo vs Power BI at a Glance
Both Domo and Power BI can turn data into dashboards, reports, and business insights. The difference is how each platform handles pricing, governance, AI, and integration with your entire technology stack.
If your organization already uses Microsoft 365 or Dynamics 365, Power BI and Microsoft Fabric integrate naturally with the tools your employees use every day. Reports open in Teams, refresh in Excel, and use the same Entra ID sign-in.
Domo operates as a more self-contained analytics platform, which can create another environment to integrate, govern, secure, and support.
How Domo Pricing Compares with Power BI Pricing
Domo charges for what your data does. Power BI charges for who uses it and how much computing capacity you reserve.
How Domo Pricing Works
Domo’s consumption-based pricing model is built around credits. Those credits are consumed as data moves through the platform, including when data is loaded, refreshed, transformed, or processed through workflows and pipelines.
The challenge is that Domo does not publicly publish standard dollar pricing. Instead, organizations receive custom quotes based on their expected usage and contract terms. So two companies with similar user counts can pay very different amounts depending on how much data they process and how frequently they refresh it.
How Power BI Pricing Works
Power BI uses a more traditional licensing model. Costs are based on the capacity tier selected, making them easier to budget than activity-based pricing.
Organizations can license Power BI through per-user plans such as Power BI Pro or Premium Per User, or through Microsoft Fabric capacity licensing. Many organizations already receive Power BI Pro licenses through Microsoft 365 E5. If that applies, the license line in the table would drop to $0.
Domo vs. Power BI Pricing in Practice
Important: This is an exact calculation for a defined hypothetical scenario. It is not a vendor quote or universal price comparison.
Hypothetical Company
- 250 employees
- 8 report publishers and 67 employees who need interactive report access
- The remaining 175 employees do not need Power BI access
- 20 production reports, five data pipelines, and two business-critical integrations
- Three datasets refresh every 15 minutes; remaining datasets refresh hourly or daily
- No existing Microsoft 365 E5 licenses
Cost Assumptions
| Cost input | Domo | Power BI and Fabric |
|---|---|---|
| Annual platform cost | $60,000 assumed renewal * At Domo’s published credit rates, a company refreshing three datasets every 15 minutes could pay considerably more. | Varies by Fabric tier |
| User licenses | Included or not separately modeled | 75 Power BI Pro licenses: $12,600 per year |
| Storage | Included or not separately modeled | OneLake: $600 per year |
| Azure services | — | Networking, monitoring, and gateway: $4,800 per year |
| Migration and cutover | $0 | $40,000 one time |
| Fabric capacity | — | F2 $156/monthF4 $313/month F8 $625/month |
| Annual recurring total | $60,000 | F2: $19,876F4: $21,752F8: $25,504 |
How Totals Are Calculated
Annual Fabric totals include capacity, 75 Power BI Pro licenses, OneLake storage, and Azure services. Year 1 also includes the $40,000 migration and cutover cost; three-year totals include three years of recurring costs plus that one-time expense.
Pricing Comparison
| Option | Annual | Year 1 | 3-year total | Savings vs. Domo | Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domo | $60,000 | $60,000 | $180,000 | — | Stay with the current platform and avoid migration, based on the assumed renewal price. |
| Fabric F2 | $19,876 | $59,876 | $99,628 | $80,372 (44.7%) | Lowest cost, but may be too small if refreshes, pipelines, models, or simultaneous report use exceed its capacity. |
| Fabric F4 | $21,752 | $61,752 | $105,256 | $74,744 (41.5%) | A middle option that provides more computing capacity than F2 for a modest additional cost. |
| Fabric F8 | $25,504 | $65,504 | $116,512 | $63,488 (35.3%) | Highest-cost Fabric option shown, with the most computing capacity of the three modeled tiers. |
Bottom line: In this hypothetical scenario, moving to Power BI and Fabric reduces three-year costs by 35% to 45%, depending on Fabric capacity. Year 1 is roughly a wash when including migration. The savings show up in years 2 and 3.
Customer Story: Intermountain Express Transport
Every organization has different requirements, but Intermountain Express Transport’s experience highlights why many Domo customers are taking a fresh look at their analytics platforms.
The transportation company relied on Domo for reporting and analytics, but over time leadership began questioning whether the platform still aligned with the company’s needs and growth plans.
As Finance Manager Lexton Droubay explained: “The product (Domo) outgrew our business.” Rather than simply renewing, Intermountain evaluated Microsoft’s analytics stack and migrated to Power BI and Azure-based data services.
The results:
- Annual data platform costs dropped from approximately $35,000 per year to roughly $5,000-$6,000 per year
- Data continued to refresh every 15 minutes
- The company gained more flexibility in how it stored, integrated, and managed data
The move also gave the organization greater control over its long-term data strategy. As Droubay noted: “We’re not boxed in with Azure. We can get data from wherever. That flexibility is priceless.” For added insight, read the entire case study here.
When Should You Switch from Domo to Power BI?
Switching analytics platforms is a significant decision, and an acquisition alone is not a reason to migrate. difference is critical
Consider a switch when:
- Your renewal is approaching, giving you a natural opportunity to compare long-term costs and contract terms.
- Consumption-based pricing makes expenses difficult to forecast as data volumes, refresh frequency, pipelines, or AI workloads grow.
- Your organization already relies on Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, or Microsoft Fabric and wants analytics integrated with that ecosystem.
- You need to consolidate reporting, data engineering, governance, and AI capabilities on a common platform.
- Your security and compliance strategy increasingly depends on Microsoft Entra ID, Purview, and related Microsoft controls.
- Users want to access analytics through familiar tools such as Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.
