Power Apps FAQs

If you have Microsoft 365, then probably yes. Power Apps comes with most bundle plans including Business basics, standard and premium, and Enterprise E1, E3 and E5. It’s also available as part of the NFP and Education plans. The limitation is the included license does not include all functionality. Some connectors and functionality require preimum licensing. 

The premium plans for Power Apps  offer a ‘per user’ plan that allows ‘all you can eat’ premium apps per individually assigned users. However, if your organisation has a lot of users leveraging just a couple of premiums apps , it can be more cost-effective to license the individual apps, instead of each user accessing them. It becomes a numbers games to determine which is better for your situation, as the per app options start to become economical at around a dozen users per app.

Yes. Any user who will benefit from the premium connector must be licensed. For example, if you used just one premium subscription to retrieve premium data from an external data source, then save it into a free accessible location like SharePoint for all other users to connect to with free licenses, this is called multiplexing and is a breach of Microsoft’s licensing agreement. You only pay for licences for users accessing the tools each calendar month, and if you want help understanding the licence requirements, reach out with an email, phone call or book a time to talk with us.

Yes. Dynamics 365 is closely related to the Power Platform, all build on Microsoft’s Dataverse, leveraging the same tables, columns and design elements. If you’re leveraging Dynamics 365 for CRM, Marketing, Tickets, Field Services, ERP or more, your data is easily accessible within all of the Power Platform tools. It is common practice to build small individual Power Apps accessing specific elements of your wider Dynamics solutions. For example, a survey or checklist Power Apps canvas phone app can write directly into the Dynamics tables, or a ‘My follow ups’ view of your CRM can be a quick, easy interactive daily check list for your sales team on the go.
