π Streamlit vs Power BI#
| Feature | Streamlit | Power BI |
|---|---|---|
| π οΈ Core technology | Python | Microsoft platform |
| βοΈ Flexibility | Very high (full-code) | High but guided by interface |
| π Dashboards | Customizable, dynamic | Very powerful and enterprise-ready |
| π Prototyping speed | Extremely fast | Medium |
| π Publishing | Full web apps | Interactive reports |
| π₯ Ideal profile | Data scientists, developers | Business analysts |
Conclusion:
- Streamlit is ideal when you need to build custom apps and you have Python skills.
- Power BI shines when you need enterprise reporting, governance and guided analysis.
π§ In short#
Streamlit is like a “magic template” that converts your Python code into a ready-to-use web application.
If you can program in Python, you can create an app without learning anything else.
Power BI, on the other hand, is a visual tool where you drag and drop elements to build reports, without needing to program.
