PowerApps per app plan - If I want the same user to have 4 apps, do I need to pay twice?

Hello,

If I understand correctly, with a per app plan (8,40€/month) I can create and run a maximum of 2 apps. This does not mean I can create an additional 2 apps each month, so that a second month I could run 4 apps, right? So it's 2 apps at all times with a premium connection, correct?

My question is: if I want to run 4 apps with the same user, do I pay two licenses (8,40€ x2), or you cannot have multiple plans with the same user? Please clarify!

Thanks

@EstampF
Yes you can the powerapps per app are based on capacity and once users access an app they consume from this capacity.
So your understanding is correct.

Okay on the first question. Although your answer kinda confused me. When users access an app created under a licensed plan they consume... what exactly? I thought there were no restrictions.

And what about my second question. So if I want to build 4 apps I need to buy two "per app" licenses?

Thank you again

That is covered in Microsoft's documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/about-powerapps-perapp which shows that you can only assign 1 per app licenses per user per CDS environment. Given how careful that outline is covered I strongly suspect you can't assign a user 2 licenses in a single environment so unless the apps are in different environments you probably need to merge those 4 apps into 2.
