Licence pricing for PDA

[gauravsolanke]

I intend to develop a robotic process automation (RPA) solution for my web application using PAD The entire process flow it will take 15 minutes using PDA. The following things are there in the flow:

1.Reading, writing, and updating Excel files stored on OneDrive or SharePoint.
2.Interacting with web elements within the web application.
3.Integrating with Outlook to automatically send emails on a daily basis, particularly when I am not connected to the server.
4. Scheduling the flow to run automatically on cloud infrastructure, even I am not available.
5. Providing access for two authorized users.

Could you please suggest which licence pricing is suitable ?
1. Power Automate Premium 15$
Or
2. Power Automate Process 150$

Since you want to run your flow when you're not available then you would require Power Automate Process
$150 per bot/month.
