{How to get Power Apps Per User Plan Licensing }

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show how to get power apps per user licensing plan.

Let's gets started.

Go to Power Apps Licensing page from here

Choose the plan which is suitable for your business needs.

So in this example i am going to show to get free trial.

Select second option Per user plan $20 click on "Try Free".

From above step you can create new account plan or add to existing Microsoft Tenant account provided you have global administrator rights.

I have created brand new account here you can see the new power apps user plan trail.

Now we look at how to get power app (run one app per user): is just under $5 per user/month

This is useful when there is a requirement to run their own Power App for each user, also it gives fiexibility to stack the license as and when required.

In order to get this licesening plan you would need a global admin rights or billing admin rights on the Microsoft 365 Tenant.

I hope this helps
