According to Microsoft's price page for Germany (as of 20 October 2026), Power Apps Premium costs €17.30 per user and month with annual billing, excluding VAT, and €10.40 from 2,000 seats. Microsoft has announced an increase of USD 2 per user and month for 1 January 2027, with comparable increases in other currencies. Since January 2026 Microsoft no longer sells the per-app plan to new customers, with exceptions by purchasing channel.
Can Power Apps build from a description?
Partly: Copilot creates an app with a data model from a description; some features are in preview and vary by region. The newer preview "Power Apps vibe" is, according to Microsoft, only available in the US, Australia, Asia and India regions and only in English.
Do we need Premium for our ERP?
With Power Apps, yes, as soon as an app accesses SQL Server or Oracle directly: both are premium connectors. On-premises systems connect through the on-premises data gateway, which Microsoft also lists as a premium capability.
Can we use both?
Yes. Microsoft 365 stays as it is. Onagero runs alongside on your server and reads from your systems; what is built there opens in the browser.
