Question

Microsoft Per App Per User Licensing

Don Golden 5

I’ve been spending some time digging through Microsoft’s nonprofit licensing pages and I came across something .

On this page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/nonprofits/offers-for-nonprofits

Microsoft is still referencing a Power Apps nonprofit offer that includes:

Free use for up to 10 users
Discounted pricing of $2.50/user/month for additional users

I’ve included a screenshot (page 1) for reference.

My understanding was that this particular offer may have been retired or changed, so I’m trying to reconcile that with what’s currently published on the Microsoft.

One additional subject:

In the Microsoft Power Platform Licensing Guide , on page 10, (screenshot page 2) The offer Power Apps per-app pay-as-you-go meter. This offer may also fit our organization usage requirements. Is this offer available for a non-profit (and is there a discounted price)?

Hi @Don Golden,
I understand that you noticed the Microsoft Nonprofits website still references a Power Apps offer for nonprofits, while other documents, such as the Power Platform Licensing Guide, describe newer or different licensing models.

Regarding the Power Apps nonprofit offer you referenced, the information shown on the Microsoft Nonprofits offers page is still valid. Eligible nonprofit organizations can continue to use Power Apps for up to 10 users at no cost, with discounted pricing of $2.50 USD per user per month for additional users. This offer has not been officially retired and remains an active nonprofit benefit.

I also understand your interest in the Power Apps per‑app Pay‑As‑You‑Go option mentioned in the Power Platform Licensing Guide. This is a newer, usage‑based licensing model and it is available to nonprofit tenants. However, because it is billed through an Azure subscription, it currently follows standard commercial pricing, and Microsoft does not publish a nonprofit‑specific discount for the Pay‑As‑You‑Go meter at this time.

In summary, both options are available:

The nonprofit Power Apps offer provides discounted per‑app licensing with predictable costs.

Pay‑As‑You‑Go provides flexibility and charges only when apps are actually used, but without nonprofit pricing.

I hope this explanation helps reconcile what you are seeing across Microsoft’s documentation.

Terrific answer! Very helpful.The reamining question is how can I take advantage of the discounted pricing of $2.50 USD per user per month for additional users? I haven't been able to find a page/location where those disounted $2.50 USD per user per month for additional users licenses are available to purchase.

When I sign in to our admin center Microsoft 365 admin center-> Purchase Services, the discounted pricing of $2.50 USD per user per month for additional usersoption isn’t listed. With the specific wording : “Eligible nonprofit organizations …” does this means our non-profit is not eligible?

Hi @Don Golden,

Thank you for your feedback and follow-up question. I want to reassure you first: not seeing the $2.50 USD per user option in the Microsoft 365 admin center does not mean your nonprofit is not eligible.

The nonprofit Power Apps offer you referenced is still active. Eligible nonprofit organizations can use Power Apps for up to 10 users at no cost, and additional users are available at the discounted price of $2.50 USD per user per month.

What often causes confusion is where this discounted option appears. For many nonprofit tenants, the $2.50 licenses do not show up as a standard self‑service purchase under Microsoft 365 admin center > Billing > Purchase services. This is expected behavior and does not indicate a problem with your eligibility.

The wording “Eligible nonprofit organizations” simply means that the organization must be approved under Microsoft’s nonprofit program. If your organization already receives other Microsoft nonprofit benefits, that generally confirms eligibility.

Recommended next steps:

Confirm that your nonprofit status is active in the Microsoft Nonprofit Hub

If the discounted licenses are not visible in the admin center, reach out through Microsoft’s nonprofit support channels for assistance with obtaining the Power Apps licenses at the nonprofit rate

Note: In many cases, nonprofit Power Apps licenses at the $2.50 rate are made available through a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) rather than appearing directly for purchase in the admin center. This is a common licensing path for nonprofit offers and does not affect your eligibility.
