License differences between Power Automate Per User Plan & Power Automate Premium

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 6
I've been using a Power Automate Per User plan at $15.99 per month for a while now.  Today I created my first Power Automate Desktop flow and tried to schedule it using Tasks Scheduler. When it ran from Task Scheduler it said that to run the flow externally I needed a "premium" license.  I'm confused because I thought I was using a premium license with the Power Automate Per User plan.  
 
I see there is a "Power Automate Premium" plan at $15 per month.  Doing some searching I see that this used to be called the "Power Automate per user with attended RPA".  So was "Power Automate per user" a different plan than "Power Automate per user with attended RPA"? 
 
Thanks!

    Yes, there used to be a Power Automate per user plan at $15 and a Power Automate per user plan with RPA at $40. There is now just the Power Automate Premium plan going forward.  To start a Power Automate Desktop flow using Task Scheduler or a cloud flow requires the Power Automate Premium license.
