Who Is Power Apps per User For?
Power Apps per User is for citizen developers and power users who build or use multiple business apps. If you’re building more than one or two apps, per User is the most cost-effective option.
Per User is right for you if:
- ✅ You build or use multiple Power Apps regularly
- ✅ You need Dataverse (relational database) for your app data
- ✅ You use premium connectors — SAP, Salesforce, SQL Server, Dataverse
- ✅ You want AI Builder credits for document processing, prediction, or text analysis
- ✅ You’re a citizen developer building apps for your team

| Premium connectors | ❌ | ✅ |

💡 The M365 trap: Many admins think “Power Apps is included in E3/E5.” It is — but only with standard connectors and no Dataverse. The moment you need a proper database or premium connector, you need the per User licence.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many apps can I build?
Unlimited. Per User has no app limit — you can build and run as many canvas and model-driven apps as you want.
2. What is Dataverse?
Dataverse is Microsoft’s managed relational database for Power Platform. Think of it as the “backend” for your apps — tables, relationships, security roles, business rules, and APIs built in.
3. Can I share apps with users who don’t have a Power Apps licence?
Users who RUN your apps need their own licence. Per App ($10/app/user/month) is good for users who only need one specific app. Per User ($20) is better for users who run multiple apps.
