Dataverse doesn’t have its own standalone license — you get access to it through whichever Power Platform product you’re licensed for (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Co-pilot Studio, etc.), and each of those bundles in some free Dataverse storage.
Here’s how it breaks down, based on Microsoft’s official Power Apps pricing page:
- Power Apps Developer Plan — Free
For learning and development. Not for production use. - Power Apps Premium — $20/user/month
For production apps using Dataverse and other premium capabilities. A discounted price of $12/user/month is available with a minimum purchase of 2,000 new licenses. - Pay-as-you-go — $10 per active user/app/month
You pay based on monthly app usage through an Azure subscription. - Dynamics 365 licenses — Price varies
Some Dynamics 365 licenses include Dataverse access and related Power Platform capabilities. - Additional Dataverse Database Capacity — $40/GB/month
Available when an organization needs more database storage.
Note: Microsoft licensing, availability, and pricing can change over time. Always check the latest official Microsoft pricing before making a purchase.
