We are aiming to rebuild our company website and since we have lot of applications built by using powerplatform and having dataverse as a backend it made us wonder of Power Pages showed as an option to rebuilt our website. However, I am unsure if Power Pages is actually designed for this type of use case.
I see there is a license for anonymous users, however, a maximum of 500 users a month seems rather limited, what makes me think that power pages is only meant for customer portals rather than for general websites.
We have many usecases where it would be handy to have a website able to log information into dataverse for the backend but I'm unsure if this can justify the limit of 500 users a month.
Also what happens when you get the user number 501? Will the website shut down for a whole month?
500 is not the limit of users, it is the size of the Capacity Pack, you can buy multiple Capacity Packs to increase the number of users (and there is tiered pricing if dealing with large numbers), refer to the Power Platform Licensing guide link on this page for some additional info https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/pricing-billing-skus#power-apps-power-automate-microsoft-copilot-studio-and-power-pages-offers
As to if it is a good fit to replace a website, it depends. If your just after a plain website then I would not use it as a replacement. If you are surfacing data from Dataverse and/or your site is really a portal (with logins etc) then it may be suitable.
