Curator vs. Power BI
Power BI builds dashboards.
Curator answers questions.
Power BI is built for dashboards and recurring reports, and it's strong at that. Curator is for the other half of the job: asking a quick question of a file and getting an answer — with the Python that produced it — without modeling data or learning DAX.
Two different jobs
Reach for the right one: a quick question, or a standing report.
| Curator | Power BI | |
|---|---|---|
| Ask a one-off question, get an answer | Build a report first | |
| No data modeling or setup | Model + relationships + DAX | |
| See the exact logic behind a number | Python, per answer | DAX measures |
| Runs in your browser, nothing to install | Desktop authoring app | |
| Recurring dashboards & sharing | Not the focus | |
| Quick exploratory questions | Heavyweight for that | |
| Free to start | 30 questions / month | Free desktop, paid to share |
