Pricing could be improved. QuickSight lacks a desktop version, which makes it more suitable for organizations rather than individuals. I'd rate it five out of ten.

The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market. Amazon QuickSight has a monthly subscription. There are no extra costs for report consumption, but an additional cost is incurred only when the users have additional storage.

For end-users, the price seems to be based on a per-view model, meaning you pay for the number of views of the dashboard. As for developers, it might involve an annual cost of around $36, although I am not exactly sure. In addition to licensing costs, there can be extra expenses for using Amazon QuickSight. To maximize its functionality, you might need to integrate it with other AWS services like S3 and SMS. QuickSight alone may not be fully usable, so additional subscriptions to these services could be necessary to make it more effective.
The solution is not affordable. Recently, we had to create a dashboard programmatically, so I had to create some policies. AWS charged me more for it. The solution can be afforded by big companies, not by smaller ones.

There are different cost structures for using Amazon QuickSight. A fixed membership can be obtained and a timeframe basis membership is available for users too. I believe the pricing is quite low and the solution is worth the money.
There are no additional license fees apart from the standard licensing fees. However, the standard license is meant only for internal users and not for free readers. That's a problem, because to have free viewers, you need to escalate up to the enterprise license which ideally should not be the case.

The pricing is very reasonable. They are very cheap. Right now, we are paying $200 a month to use it. I'm not aware of any other additional costs beyond that one fee.

I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare. Still, if Amazon QuickSight has lower pricing than Power BI, then it's the better product, but if its pricing is higher, then the pricing for Amazon QuickSight needs to be lowered.
It's not a one-time purchase. It's like they build you on three fronts. One is the SpiceDB capacity that you buy. Another is the author account you create in QuickSight and the reader's account. For an author account and SpiceDB capacity, there is a fixed charge. For the author, it's $24 per month. For SpiceDB capacity, it's somewhere at around $0.30 per GB per month. For the reader account, there is no charge. It's pay per session, and I don't know the price per session. You need to be aware of how you have it set up. Even though we have, let's say, 50 authors, for example, out of those 50 authors, only two or three authors were creating dashboards. The rest of the authors were sitting idle. At that point, we got billed unnecessarily. Later on, we figured it out, and we removed the unnecessary authors.

The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department.

The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable.
The cost of the solution has a minimal cost if users are already on the AWS stack. There are additional service fees based on the services it consumes. However, the cost is pretty mild. It's not like it's a few pennies a day. However, it's a per service or CPU and disc storage, and it's mostly CPU. It's a minimal surcharge as you're consuming more services on AWS.

If it is on an iframe on a separate server and we're trying to employ something that is serverless technology, we have to pay each time they went and tapped the service. So, every call to the server had a cost associated, which can make it quite expensive depending on how much you use. I've dealt with smaller hosts with unlimited bandwidth and unlimited space for 20 hours a month. The prices of AWS, Azure are astronomical. It is kind of frustrating, but it is what it is. It is the industry standard.
Amazon QuickSight is a fast, cloud-powered business analytics service that makes it easy to build visualizations, perform ad-hoc analysis, and quickly get business insights from your data.

I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices.
