Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello

My company has microsoft basic and standard licenses for its employees.

We were considering using Microsoft Dataverse as a central database for the company and exploiting it with power apps that are embedded in sharepoint sites so any employee can use them.

However, looking at pricing, it seems like power apps are priced per person who uses them and it charges even more if using microsoft dataverse? We have hundreds of employees so if all were to use several power apps in the company portal then price would be really high.

Am I understanding this wrong and price per user means users who develop the apps rather than users who consume them? If so would our current licenses work for this?

Thanks in advance

Microsoft Dataverse with Power Apps

Hi @mhorno,

In order to use a Power App that leverages Dataverse, your users will require a Power Apps Per App or Per User license, or have pay as you go setup on the environment. If you're planning to roll out several apps to the users, then per user licenses are recommended.

It can seem expensive at first if you just have a single application, but the return on investment (ROI) will increase significantly as more apps are added as the effort to develop is significantly less compared to custom development. Dataverse provides several capabilities out of the box that take significant effort to develop normally such as the granular role based security, auditing, global search, Exchange/Outlook integration, etc.
