FIG 04 · Deadline check
Environments, governance and the December 2026 change
If your makers build in personal developer environments or in Dataverse for Teams, the dates below apply to you. The fix is an environment audit and a move to Managed Environments with solutions and pipelines.
| Change | Date | What it means | What we do |
|---|---|---|---|
| New unmanaged developer environments end | 15 Nov 2026 | The Developer Plan sign-up no longer creates one | Set up managed developer environments |
| New Dataverse for Teams environments end | 15 Nov 2026 | No new Teams-only environments | Plan apps on standard Dataverse environments |
| Unmanaged developer environments suspended | 15 Dec 2026 | Their apps, flows, agents and data aren’t available | Audit, export solutions, move what matters |
| Suspended environments deleted | From 15 Jan 2027 | Content that wasn’t moved is gone | Finish moves before the deletion date |
| InfoPath 2013 and SharePoint 2013 workflows | Retired 14 Jul and 2 Apr 2026 | Old forms and workflows no longer supported | Rebuild in Power Apps and Power Automate |

FIG 06 · Use cases
Where Power Apps fits best
Power Apps shines for internal processes that live in spreadsheets, email and paper today. When the app is customer-facing at scale, or needs heavy custom logic, we say so and build custom software instead.

FIG 07 · Automate
Power Automate consulting
Power Automate connects Microsoft 365 and hundreds of other services through connectors. We design flows that are owned by a service account, live in solutions and fail loudly, not silently.
06principles
Cloud flows
Triggers from SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Forms and Dataverse, with error handling and run-history alerts.
Desktop flows (RPA)
Attended or unattended automation for desktop apps and legacy screens that have no API.
Approvals
Multi-stage approvals with delegation and reminders, answered from Teams or email.
Custom connectors
Connectors to your own APIs, so flows and apps can call them without workarounds.

FIG 08 · Licensing
Power Apps licensing, explained
Licences are often the biggest running cost of a Power Platform app, so we model them before we build. Microsoft’s US list prices, read on 23 Oct 2026 (USD, paid yearly; other regions show local currency on Microsoft’s own pages):
06principles
Power Apps Premium: $20.00
Per user per month, paid yearly; $12.00 per user per month with a 2,000-seat minimum. Microsoft says its prices are for marketing purposes only.
Power Automate Premium: $15.00
Per user per month, paid yearly; the Process plan is listed at $150.00 per bot per month.
Developer Plan: free
For building and testing, not production. From 15 Nov 2026 it no longer creates an unmanaged developer environment.
Standard vs premium connectors
Standard connectors such as SharePoint and Outlook come with Microsoft 365; premium connectors, Dataverse and custom connectors need a premium licence.
Dataverse capacity
Database, file and log capacity is pooled across the tenant, so we estimate it alongside user licences.
We don’t sell licences
We help you pick the right mix and buy it through your usual Microsoft channel; our quote covers our work only.

FIG 15 · Decide
Power Apps vs Power Automate
They do different jobs and most solutions use both: Power Apps is the screen people use, Power Automate is the work that happens behind it.
| Power Apps | Power Automate | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Apps with screens, forms and data | Flows that run steps automatically |
| Who uses it | People entering, reviewing or finding data | No one directly: it runs on a trigger or a schedule |
| Typical job | An inspection form, an asset register, a request portal | Approvals, notifications, syncing systems, RPA |
| Built with | Power Fx, Dataverse, connectors | Connectors, expressions, desktop flows |
| Licence (US list, 23 Oct 2026) | Power Apps Premium, $20.00 per user/month | Power Automate Premium, $15.00 per user/month |
Prices are Microsoft’s US list prices in USD, paid yearly, read on 23 Oct 2026 at microsoft.com; Microsoft says they are for marketing purposes only.

Fixed-scope project vs dedicated Power Apps developers vs team extension
We don’t publish rates. This is how the three ways to work with Power Apps developers compare.
| Fixed-scope project | Dedicated specialist | Team extension | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | A defined migration, intranet or app | A steady backlog of changes and new builds | A deadline, a migration wave or a backlog spike |
| Who manages the work | Us, against a written scope | You, in your sprint | You, with our lead |
| How it is priced | One fixed quote | Monthly, per specialist | Monthly, per team |
| Code, configuration and IP | Yours | Yours | Yours |
FIG 17 · Compare
Canvas app vs model-driven app vs custom app
| Canvas app | Model-driven app | Custom app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starts from | The screen design | The data model in Dataverse | Your requirements, any stack |
| Layout control | Full | Standard, responsive by default | Full |
| Best for | Task apps, field apps, phones | Process-heavy apps with many records | Customer-facing products and complex logic |
