Power Apps is relatively cheap compared to other low-code and no-code systems like OutSystems and Mendix.

Usually, the free licenses of Power Apps come to normal corporate users for free. If you do not use the premium workspace and are employed in a big company already using E3 or E5, then Power Apps would be something for free, and that's a trick. For normal users within a corporate firm with licenses, it's totally favorable. But I don't know how it would be if you were outside a company or using it yourself.

Our enterprise contract with Microsoft Power Apps includes the application feature platform in our subscription package, so we are not incurring any extra expenses. All of our other subscriptions are also part of our license agreement.

The license for the solution comes with my professional license, so I'm not sure actually if you pay by the user. For me, it was free to develop with a professional license, which is about 70 euros a month. That said, if you get a lot of users using it, it's not included. I don't know how much that would cost. Whether it is worth the cost or not depends on the use case.

We would advise organizations that this solution has a high-price point. However, the cost is justified for how comprehensive the package is, and all components of the solution are available under the standard license plan; there are no hidden costs involved.

Right now, we are using an enterprise license without the premium connectors at this point. For Power Automate, we are definitely going to need some licenses which we're exploring. Depending upon the user requirements, we're still exploring the licensing requirement. Most of the applications that we leverage are without any cost other than the normal license which we are paying for as part of Office 365. We'll take additional licenses depending on the solution and the need.

The licensing is restrictive and can get expensive as you have to pay per user, not per app. It's a range of users. For example, if you go above 50 users, you need to pay more. If you compare it with competitors like Google, they are more expensive than Google. Google has another option that's a PowerApps competitor called AppSheets and AppSheets is cheaper than PowerApps.

I don't have any comments on the cost or licensing. It's fine. It's cheap compared to other RPA tools. It was about $40. There are people that are lower than that, however, they don't give you the features.

The solution is quite expensive because if you have, say, 100,000 users or more, that can add up. Licensing works on a tier system but I don't have the details.

The cost is fair, based on everything you get. I'd rate it at a four out of five as I see that the customers raise constraints. They sort of say it's a bit expensive. I don't know how expensive the other platforms are, however, from what I heard, it's a fair price for PowerApps considering what it comes with.

The pricing of Microsoft PowerApps is neutral, because it's completely based on user requirement. If your requirement is simple or less complex, then the basic licensing model can work, e.g. the free model, or else, you need to go for some premium features or model. The cost will be completely based on your product, and what app license is going to work for you. If per user license is going to work, then you can go for that. Microsoft PowerApps is not that expensive, but for a small organization, getting the license could be tough, because if you have a team of five people, then it's going to cost you.

It depends on the subscription of Office 365 that customers have. With some subscriptions, it's possible to use PowerApps.

The pricing is a subjective thing. Whenever we are positioning PowerApps to an enterprise that is already into Dynamics 365 ER PCRMs, it is very easy to position it as they have already made initial investments there. It is just simply that the number of users that are based on the number of applications and it can be scaled. For them, I've never faced any issues. For example, for a hospital with it, we were already reaching out to, say, 40 units. When they wanted to scale to their smaller units, the 70 of them, it was a cakewalk. Then we had a plan to extend it to their pharmacies, say, 50 of them. That, again, was a cakewalk as they were already on that platform. However, when I go and reach out to a smaller business SMB segment, the challenge over there is that we are faced with competition - with other software which has been built on PHP. If we host it on-prem, of course, then that discussion of cloud versus on-prem and those fundamental discussions creep in and then there is the minimum unit price per license, meaning per user or per app. When you look at it that way, an SMB will see it as expensive compared with open-source options.

The pricing is pretty good. Microsoft offers very good value for money. Apart from the licensing, storage is actually the costliest part. One needs to actually look at how to optimize the use of storage as ultimately it's on the cloud. It's part of the Dataverse storage now, with Dynamics 365, Power Apps, et cetera. That bit of the offering is the costliest part. The product license and platform licensing are good. That's definitely value for money compared to some of the other vendors. Microsoft is placed well. It's just the storage, as I said, that's costly.

The pricing is excellent. It's not too expensive. However, once you get into adding non-internal users, the solution can get pricey. It's only reasonable if you are trying to create internal team-based apps.

One of the main things about this solution is the price. The cost for Salesforce is $35, $25, or $10 per user per month. PowerApps costs much less than that. It is at a good price point. It may change in the future, but at this point, its price is pretty fine.

I don't directly deal with the actual billing. Therefore, I don't know the exact cost or the licensing structure. That's an aspect of the solution someone else handles. That said, it's Microsoft, which tends to be a bit more expensive. It might now be the best option for smaller customers.

The solution is subscription-based, however, I don't handle billing, and therefore don't have insights into the costs. We don't have any extras that we pay for. We just have a standard subscription package. I'd recommend the solution. Overall, I'd rate it eight out of ten. If the reporting and pricing were better, I'd rate it higher. I've definitely learned about the power of the cloud. Before everyone used to use the VPN connection to the head office. When we pushed into the cloud and everyone can just see everything and the system is very sound. It also allows our developers to see what they can change. It's been great.

I'm using a trial version right now. I'm still learning the system, so I haven't moved into a paid version yet. It's my understanding that the pricing isn't too bad. I've heard other people mention it's not as expensive as Azure in comparison with Linux. One or two licenses may not be too expensive, however, I don't know the exact pricing.

The solution is free if you have a Teams account, or Office 365. If you start to use any premium connectors that are not stored in a SharePoint list or on an Excel workbook, then it costs $4 per user per month. If you want unlimited, it's about $16 per month for unlimited apps and unlimited connectors. There might potentially be a few other extra fees, however, I'm not sure what they are. Microsoft is one of those organizations that manage to nickel and dime its customers on everything.

The setup costs depend on the organization (it's professional knowledge) and it's assets location once the basic data and application is in Azure the setup effort will be very cost effective. For organizational internal users the prices are fair. But for external users It's negotiation. The the long term is vague.

The pricing is pretty good. Right now, I'm paying for a two or three-month trial that is priced well. This trial period gives a company time to try an application, develop it, test it, and decide as to whether they will go ahead and pay for a modular plan. I find their pricing quite affordable.

I have no idea about licensing costs. I tried contacting Microsoft about this because the information isn't easily available and it was unclear where I could search for this. My guess is that the cost is dependent on the company and product needs. I tried to make a calculation and it looks like it's going to be much cheaper to purchase the product than if I were to hire an engineer, get him to develop an app, and have it maintained. This is a much more scalable and less expensive solution.
