Power Apps Per App
24 Mar 2020
The Power Apps per app Plan gives rights to 2 apps and a portal for one user. The two apps can be model-driven or canvas apps.
This can be a cost-effective way of using the Power Platform without having to buy a more expensive Dynamics 365 app such as Sales, Service, Project Service or Field Service.
