Effective Date: April 1, 2026
Audience: Clients using Microsoft Power Apps Per App Plan
Microsoft has announced the retirement of the Power Apps Per App Plan license. This change impacts organisations currently using this plan to run individual apps or portals within the Power Platform
Since its introduction in 2019, Power Apps has undergone several changes, from the original Plan 1 and Plan 2 to the per-user and per-app model. In 2021, pricing was halved, and the per-app license shifted from covering two apps to just one. Then in 2023, the name changed again when Power Apps Premium replaced the per-user license.
Now, in 2026, we have yet another significant update.
Key Details
- Retirement Date:
The Per App Plan will no longer be available for purchase after 1st April 2026. - Impact on Existing Customers:
- Customers with active subscriptions can continue using the plan until the end of their current term.
- Renewals of the Per App Plan will not be possible after the retirement date.
- Available options:
This change consolidates Power Apps licensing into two main paths:
- Power Apps Premium: A per-user license allowing unlimited custom apps and unlimited Power Pages websites.
- Power Apps Per App Pay-As-You-Go (Azure): Enables individual users to run a single custom app, billed via Azure based on unique monthly active users.
Actions:
If you are currently licensed for and using the Power Apps Per App Plan, now is the time to:
✔ Check your renewal date
✔ Start planning for migration to one of the available options
At The SAM Club we will be reminding our clients of this change as we near the renewal dates.
