Microsoft’s Power Platform pricing gives you flexibility—but only if you understand the options.
Go with Premium licenses for unlimited usage.
Use per app or per bot models if you’re focused on specific tasks or flows.
Pay-as-you-go is great for low usage or unpredictable workloads.
Keep an eye on Dataverse capacity—especially if you’re scaling apps or storing large files.
