Power Apps Pricing: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Thinking about using Microsoft Power Apps for your business, but unsure how much it’s going to cost you? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. In this blog, we’ll break down Power Apps pricing in a simple, easy-to-understand way. You’ll learn about different plans, what’s included, and what hidden costs you should watch out for.

What Is Power Apps?

Power Apps is a low-code platform by Microsoft that lets you build apps quickly, even if you’re not a developer. It’s perfect for automating tasks, collecting data, or connecting your business systems in one place.
But before you start building, it’s important to know how Power Apps pricing works so you can choose the right plan for your team.

Power Apps Pricing Plans Explained

1. Per App Plan – $5 per user per app per month

This is a good pick if you only need access to one specific app or portal. You’ll pay $5 per user per app, and it’s great for teams working on just one solution.

Good for:

  • Small teams
  • A single business process (e.g., leave request or inventory tracking)
2. Per User Plan – $20 per user per month

This is the most flexible plan. For $20 per user per month, each user can run unlimited apps and portals in the same environment.

Good for:

  • Businesses that want to build multiple apps
  • Teams that need more than one solution
3. Pay-As-You-Go Plan – Usage-based pricing

Don’t want to commit to a monthly fee? The Pay-As-You-Go plan is billed through your Azure subscription and charges based on the number of app runs.

Good for:

  • Teams with unpredictable or seasonal app usage
  • Businesses testing the waters before a full rollout
4.Free Developer Plan

If you just want to learn, build, or test Power Apps, the Developer Plan is free. It’s not for production use but perfect for development and learning.

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For

Power Apps pricing sounds simple at first—but there are some extra charges you should be aware of:

Premium Connectors

If your app needs to talk to services like Salesforce, Oracle, or SAP, you’ll need premium connectors, which cost extra.

Extra Storage

Power Apps includes a limited amount of Dataverse storage. If your apps store a lot of data, you may need to purchase more storage.

Complex Integrations or Custom Features

Need advanced functionality or system integrations? You might need to hire a developer or consultant, which adds to your overall cost.

Licensing for Guest Users

If people outside your organization need to use the app, they might also need a license—something many businesses overlook.

What’s Included in Microsoft 365?

Some Power Apps capabilities come free with Microsoft 365 plans like E1, E3, and E5. These include standard connectors, and you can create basic apps within Teams or SharePoint.
But if you want premium features, like connecting to external systems or using Dataverse, you’ll need to go for a paid Power Apps plan.
