    Hi Theodore Karnezis,

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Power BI Desktop is free and provides all the essential tools for creating visuals. However, to share and collaborate on dashboards, you'll need the Power BI Service, which offers the following pricing options:

    • Pro License: $10 per user per month.
    • Premium Per User: $20 per user per month, including advanced features.

    To pursue certification, consider the Power BI Data Analyst Certification (PL-300). The exam fee is $165 USD, though it may vary by region.

    Please reach out to us if you have any other queries.
