Power Apps per app at $5 or Premium at $20. Power Automate at $15 with RPA. Power Pages per authenticated user. Copilot Studio per message. Dataverse capacity. M365 E3 and E5 already include limited Power Apps and Power Automate rights customers regularly re buy. Eleven buyer moves to fix it.
Microsoft Power Platform is the low code family that combines Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, and Dataverse, with Power BI now consumed inside Microsoft Fabric. Pricing is fragmented across at least five different metric models, which is what makes every Power Platform commercial conversation harder than it looks on the surface.
The eleven move buyer side playbook focuses on right metric selection per workload, EA bundle math, and the Microsoft 365 license overlap that already includes limited Power Apps and Power Automate rights.

Microsoft sold us Power Apps Premium and Power Automate Premium for every M365 E5 user we had. Redress audited the Power Apps for M365 and Power Automate for M365 entitlement already inside E5, moved citizen developer workloads to the bundled rights, and kept paid licenses only for users who actually needed premium connectors. Twenty five percent saving on the standalone Power Platform line.
