Microsoft Power Automate

Microsoft Power Automate is the automation layer of the Power Platform, combining cloud flows for digital process automation, desktop flows for robotic process automation, and process mining in one enterprise product. Cloud flows connect apps, data and services running in the cloud or on premises through more than 1,400 prebuilt certified connectors plus custom connectors. Desktop flows drive legacy applications by recording and replaying user actions, in attended mode alongside a person or unattended on a dedicated machine, and hosted RPA runs those bots on Microsoft managed virtual machines that scale automatically. It is built for enterprises standardizing on Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure, and for the business technologists inside them who automate work without a development team. Copilot lets users create, edit and extend flows in natural language, process and task mining surface where automation will pay off, and built in AI handles document processing, prediction, analysis and content generation. Because it shares Dataverse and connectors with Power Apps and Copilot Studio, flows often serve as the action layer behind agents built elsewhere in the platform. Microsoft publishes per user and per bot pricing, paid yearly. Power Automate Premium is $15.00 per user per month and includes cloud flows, attended desktop flows, process and task mining with 50 MB of data storage, and standard, premium and custom connectors. Power Automate Process is $150.00 per bot per month for unattended desktop flows, and Power Automate Hosted Process is $215.00 per bot per month with a Microsoft hosted virtual machine. A Process Mining add on is $5,000.00 per tenant per month with 100 GB of storage and requires Premium. A 30 day free trial covers the premium features.
