Affordable Analytics That Actually Work: Power BI + Alluvium BI for SMBs

Small Business. Big Data. Limited Budget?

If you’re a small or midsize business trying to make sense of your data, you’ve probably run into the same issue so many others have: the tools that promise deep insights are just too expensive or too complicated. You’re not alone.

Platforms like Tableau, Looker, and Domo sound impressive, but once you see the price tag and the setup effort, it’s easy to hit pause. But here’s the thing — you don’t need to overspend or overbuild to get clear, reliable insights from your data.

That’s where Power BI and Alluvium come in.

Why Power BI Makes Sense for SMBs

Power BI is Microsoft’s modern analytics platform, and it’s built for real businesses with real budgets. You get advanced dashboards, interactive visuals, natural language Q&A, and strong security — all with the backing of a platform that integrates smoothly with the tools you already use. Depending on your existing Microsoft subscriptions, Power BI may already be included.

If you're on Microsoft 365, using Excel, Teams, or Outlook, Power BI fits right in. It’s familiar, powerful, and designed to grow with your business.
