Per-user plans

Per-user plans allow you to pay for a license for a single user, which allows them to access the full capabilities of PowerApps and Flow. The capabilities that are included in this plan were previously split between PowerApps Plan 1 and PowerApps Plan 2. However, in a more simplified model, the per-user plan encapsulates all of the functionality that the old plans offered.

The types of functionality that this plan unlocks for you include the ability to use the data gateway, which allows you to connect to on-premises data sources. It also gives you access to all of the premium connectors, as well as the ability to create custom connectors. We will explore connectors in more detail in Chapter 8, Introducing Connectors.

Upgraded licensing gives you access to the management and administration areas of PowerApps, including the ability to use the Common Data Service (CDS) (introduced in Chapter 15, Introducing Model-Driven Apps) and the ability to fully utilize environments (introduced in Chapter 17, Exploring Environments within Our Tenancy).

Per-user plans cost $40 per user, per month, and allows those users to run unlimited apps. If an organization doesn't want to license every user, there is an alternative, which is the per-app plan.
