Power Platform Licensing Guide

There’s an updated (December 2024) Power Platform Licensing Guide with a couple of quite important changes. Firstly, it’s updated for the new Pay-As-You-Go option for Copilot Studio (see our blog: https://bit.ly/409uPYs) and secondly, the word “Agents” replaces “Copilot” as the thing that you create in Copilot Studio.

Copilot Studio Pay-As-You-Go

Copilot Studio is available on a Pay-As-You-Go basis from 1 December, 2024. That means that you can now choose to buy either the original Capacity Pack of 25,000 messages for $200 a month, or pay for messages that you use at a cost of $0.01 per message. As you might expect, messages are paid for via an Azure Subscription at the end of the month. If you want to, you can combine the two options, with the messages from the Capacity Packs being consumed first.

Future Power Automate PAYG option

Microsoft announce the ability for ISVs to embed Power Automate inside of a SaaS application, and the future option to use a Pay-As-You-Go meter to support these embedded scenarios. We’ll hear more in July 2022 at the time of the Microsoft Inspire conference. In the meantime, find the announcement here: https://bit.ly/3x3yzLs.
