Thank you. Very clear and useful info.

Great video Lisa! Thank you very much!

[@richardbinnington9740]

Thank you for the great video. This helps a lot. I am new to this and it seemed rather conveluted

[@clay4gli]

Great video. Thank you. I am considering using the power platform to create a SaaS. Is there a way to regulate the ability of my potential users to login to my service based on whether or not their credit card properly billed for the month?

[@annapurnabonakurthi9174]

Thanks for the video Lisa,Could you plz suggest we can prepare self service portal in Power pages for subscription module.Thanks..

[@atanuchatterjee]

Great video. I have one question in subscription mode of authenticate user for Tier 1 it is written that 100+ user. what does that means? Is it means that I can create more than 100 users but unique successful login counts 100? For example I have and I have one pack of Tier 1 subscription and create 150 user (is it possible?). If 150 user creation is possible then first 100 successful login granted and 101 will be rejected. Is my understanding correct?

[@aaron6516]

Thank you for breaking this down clearly. Question, how/where do I start to take my existing domain and use it for power pages. This is a very powerful tool for small business that needs a more data driven website.

[@Mikenight120]

Hi, does anybody know how to collaborate with team members within Power Pages? I find no documentation explaining how collaboration can be done so multiple developers can make changes to the same page and sync across the team.

[@snapp318man]

Very helpful video! I do have a question. If I have a Power App that is currently pay as you go (10$ per active user a month) and I use Power Pages to access this app, does that mean I am now paying $12 dollars per user a month (PowerApps - $10 and Power Pages - $2)? Is there a world where my app users can login through Power Pages for $2 a month and use the app?

[@KokkeOP]

I love your content!!!! one silly question: For authenticated plan, is Microsoft Dataverse a 2 GB database capacity/ 16BG Filer Storage / Per User ...right?

[@bansaripandya2635]

Hi Lisa, If a customer having 10,000 user in which 25-30 users were known user rest are the unauthenticated. Do I have to customer to go with 100 Authenticated license, and 9,900 Anonymous user license?

[@LukasSoftwareDeveloper]

Hey Lisa, quick question - in case of anonymous plan if there's DDOS attack how does pricing goes? Does Microsoft ensures in case of attack pricing won't be an issue?

[@LisaCrosbie]

That's one you'd need to ask Microsoft directly, but you might find the documentation here helpful learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/security/faqs

[@gustavoorellanadiaz5433]

Hi Lisa, If I buy the 75 USD plan for 500 users, it means that when person 501 joins I will be charged something additional. or not ?

[@gabrielzabala87]

Did you find the answer to this?

[@webcurl]

Hi Lisa, Given internal users seem to have the same rights as external users now does this mean internal usrs can now access restricted Dynamics tables with this type of license. i.e. Creating Cases, access to knowldge articles etc.

[@LisaCrosbie]

Per the licensing guide - go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2085130&clcid=0xc09 "Power Pages use rights within Power Apps and Dynamics 365 Enterprise Apps are limited to the context of the Power Apps and Dynamics Enterprise Apps. Dynamics 365 Enterprise Apps are granted use rights for Power Pages, however, restricted tables and the associated Dynamics 365 license requirements for users who create, update, or delete data stored within these tables remain in place."

Great video on Power Pages Licensing Lisa! Quick question regarding the 30 Days Trial and Maker/Developer. If I want to keep developing a Power Page after the trial time has ended, do I need to buy a Subscriptions Plans Package (100 Users/ $200) in order to keep developing? or how can I continue to develop a Power Page without buying the package until the Page is ready for testing and production?

[@yeraldo05]

Hey Lisa, can you please give your feedback in this point. Thanks a lot!

[@LisaCrosbie]

Don't know the answer to this but I'll see what I can find out...

[@yeraldo05]

Thanks a lot for the support Lisa! 🙏🏻

[@LisaCrosbie]

Advice on this is that if you have a permanent Dataverse production environment then you can have a production Power Pages site on that and keep it in private mode. It won't cost you any licensing if you are running in private mode.

[@yeraldo05]

@@LisaCrosbie Oh that's great Lisa, thank you very much for follow up this threat! I'll start testing Power Pages asap! You are amazing, I've been recommendating your channel to all my colleagues, you content is a mine of gold!

[@AutumnHearne]

Great video Lisa, but I am still a bit confused! I understand that the Power Apps Premium license includes unlimited Power Pages. Can our users with a Power Apps Premium license access access a Power Page WITHOUT a subscription plan, or do we still need a separate subscription plan? Thanks!

[@LisaCrosbie]

Yes, they can access it without a subscription plan if they have Power Apps Premium. The thing here is for customers who haven't licenses all their users with Power Apps Premium, they no longer have to buy that if the internal users only need Power Pages (not Power Apps)

[@namasinavaretnam9147]

Lisa, good info. do you know if an anonymous user accessing the PowerPages homepage would cost 15 cents? If it would, that might be the end of road for some portals app.

[@LisaCrosbie]

I believe the pricing applies to all pages built with Power Pages.

[@namasinavaretnam9147]

@@LisaCrosbie Thanks for your reply. I think the pricing doesn't apply to pages that just consist of html, css and javascript. But I couldn't verify if the pricing applies to pages that includes fetchxml, liquid code that retrieves data. It would be a bummer if it does. I have a charity app that retrieves charity projects using fetchxml in the home page. I will have to shutdown if $15c cost applies to anonymous access to my home page. For my app, pageview is more suitable, It would have been if MS provided both options. PowerPages is such a great product. But it doesn't help when licensing model keeps changing often. I am unsure if MS thought through some unique scenarios. Thank you for your response. Take care

[@sarveshdahiya]

Hi Lisa, If i have 1000 unique users accessing a website per month. Do we need to buy Tier 1 (10 packs). That will be $ (200 * 10) = 2000. Am i Correct? My website is public and User authenticated.

[@m12652]

Just wondering… for anonymous users pricing, if the total cost is based on cookies then users who regularly clear their cookies will end up costing more?

[@valerieramos6292]

yes

[@acradic]

Hi Lisa, do you have any idea if Power Pages will be available in GCC?

[@LisaCrosbie]

Sorry, I don't have any particular insight into GCC, but I do know in general that there is a delay between public release and when new features are released there.

[@acradic]

@@LisaCrosbie Thank you so much for responding! 🙂

[@rossverschelden1078]

Does this not increase the risk of hosting an external website on this platform - back end / front end from a cyber security point of view? It's still safer to host external website outside of domain. This sounds like it's on the domain increasing cyber security risks.

[@LisaCrosbie]

The use case for Power Pages is that you need to make your database available to external customers to interact with - so having all that on one platform connected makes sense rather than integrations and moving data around. If it's just a website not connected to your Dynamics 365 / Power Apps Dataverse database, then you wouldn't likely be using this for general website hosting.

[@KyleMSchroeder]

How do you purchase the pay-as-you-go plan? I cannot find documentation or links for it.

[@LisaCrosbie]

It's done through Azure meters, here is the documentation for getting it set up learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/pay-as-you-go-set-up

[@RohitDevmore]

If i come from 365 world and I have E3/E5 license which has seeded license, then i need to go to subscription plan? or i should first get Power appper user plan and then get 2$ per user for power page?

[@LisaCrosbie]

E3/E5 won’t give you access to Power Pages, so you need to choose one of the options here - either a subscription plan or pay as you go. You don’t need to buy a power apps license.

[@EddyLiuIsm]

One question please: If my purpose is solely to use PowerPages to host a SIMPLE LANDING PAGE, that does not have form and submit button, how much would it cost? Does it charge based on how many visitor that view that landing page?

[@JETNewsinfo]

1jt terima beres, LP udh isi artikel dan GSC dari anda, saya yg input.

[@Lolo604Dm]

Can I create a power pages site without being in a Company only using 1 power pages licence ?

[@LisaCrosbie]

Power Pages licensing is based on the users - 200 logins per month is the minimum or you can choose the pay as you go option as described here if that is too many. Yes, you can do this as an individual, but you need a work or school account, so you may need to at least have your own domain as a work email.

[@hawawa8845]

but if open for anonymous users it is hard to control how many users using it. Also there might have bots reading the website frequently, the cost is unpredictable. how we can manage that?

[@LisaCrosbie]

The anonymous users are managed by cookie ID, and Microsoft have the tech in place to exclude bots, so you don't need to account for that. You can't control it, but you do need to start with an estimate based on the type of business and expected traffic to your site.

[@SebastianTobiasz]

Why does it seem like Microsoft always finds ways to over complicate things so that you end up paying a lot. I was going to use pages to create a website for a typical restaurant and I can't imagine myself convincing a client that he'll pay $0.30 per viewer. Like, wix offers $30/month for the same thing

[@LisaCrosbie]

I agree, I wouldn't use Power Pages for a website for that scenario, there are much better value options. The value of Power Pages is that it can securely connect to your business data in Dataverse - so that customers can do things like submit, track, and update applications, permits, customer service tickets etc. If that's not your use case, you're not likely to find the best value with this.
