Power Apps is offered through several license types, and customers must consider how they will deploy and use the service when choosing an optimal purchasing strategy.

The four primary licensing offerings are shown here. Capabilities of higher licensing levels build on those of lower levels.

Power Apps Basic (left) is included with most Microsoft 365 and Office 365 subscriptions. It provides rights that include the following:

  • The ability to run an unlimited number of Canvas type (but not Model-Driven type or Cards type) apps subject to the other feature constraints of Power Apps Basic
  • Apps can use Standard connectors but not Premium (Microsoft) and custom connectors
  • Apps can run in a browser (including on mobile devices), and they can run offline
  • The ability to run Power Automate flows within the context of an app
  • Limited use of Dataverse (so-called Dataverse for Teams) is available for apps that run within the context of Teams
  • Up to 6,000 requests to connectors and Dataverse for Teams
