Microsoft Power Apps 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

As a smaller organization, we don't have access to tons of resources or the money to gain that access. Power Apps came out at the perfect time for some direct needs we had and we haven't looked back. While it took (and is still taking) a bit of time to learn the platform and the constant state of change it is in, there is no way we could have created the tools that we now have in any other platform. We are able to get the right information to the right people at the right time and have them take meaningful action on it in a way that we can customize and make "our own". This is far better than any out-of-the-box solution as we don't have to make many compromises and it can be tailor-fit to our needs and refactored as those needs change. While this tech comes at a cost, it has saved us literally tens of thousands of dollars per year in employee hours, preventative loss due to near-real-time data being at our fingertips, and even helping us to realize income faster. It has been a force multiplier that allows us to compete on a level that a company of our size probably wouldn't be able to otherwise.

Good app building, but when you reach a certain level of use and complexity you have to pay for a mind blowing licence that most small and medium business won’t be able to afford. That’s why for small and medium business I’ll probably continue to recommend AppSheet instead of Power Apps.

Developing in Power Apps has been really enjoyable because of the ability to achieve quick outcomes that are also powerful and therefore can be used meaningfully within my organisation.

its 8 out of 10, i like it a lot, but the failure to work with large data sets it's definitely a con

Its a great low code or no-code application for digitizing repetitive manual tasks in an attractive interface that's easy to use and expand.

I like it for the sole reason that a web/mobile application can be easily developed with very minimal effort by just dragging and dropping the required items to the development canvas and also its very easy to publish the application using the publish button.Also power automate automation flows can be directly linked to power app objects and activated based on you required trigger quite easily

Overall experience is good as it is convenient and creative to use power apps for internal business productivity.

We are using O365 pretty heavily and had need of some specific applications to manage some processes that were being done manually. Rather than purchasing a product, we decided to use Power Apps to build something to handle these tasks. We already had access to it based on our existing O365 licensing and there were templates that were already close to what we wanted to do. It really only took a couple hours of development to put it together and we had a purpose built app that ultimately didn't cost us anything more than what we already were paying.
