Power Automate Desktop Licensing Updates Auf 2023

[Raghav_Padwal]

Dear PAD Users,

Since MS has changed the pricing for Power Automate Desktop from Aug 2023. There are few open queries regarding existing license plans:

1. Does pay-as-you-go plan still exists ? If so is there any change in pricing?
2. If we opt for Power Automate Process Plan ($150), Do we need to opt for Power Automate Premium Plan ($15) or Power Automate Process Plan can be opted alone ?

3. Can we opt for Power Automate Process Plan for a month ? Or Do we need to go for yearly plan?

Any information on this would be really helpful.

Here you go:

1. Yes, pay-as-you-go plan does exist. There are no changes to the pricing as of yet. It might be deprecated in the future, but at least right now, at the time of writing this response, it still exists and works as previously.
2. You can go with Power Automate Process without using Power Automate Premium. However, you will not be able to have unlimited cloud flows with Power Automate Process. You will only be able to have one cloud flow and one concurrent execution of a desktop flow on a single machine. It will only work in unattended mode (when no user session is active). If you want more cloud flows, or running desktop flows in attended mode, you will need to get the Power Automate Premium plan.
3. You can purchase it for a month and then cancel it afterwards. No need to commit to an annual subscription. You might get a discount on an annual subscription, though.
