Power PlatformFlows your business runs on. Licensed, owned and governed.
Power Automate and Power Apps are easy to start and easy to lose track of: flows owned by people who left, licences nobody planned, connectors nobody approved. QServices sets up Power Platform so your ERP flows keep running, and builds the ones that matter.
Most overspend comes from licensing people when the flow should be licensed, or the other way round. US list prices, paid yearly, October 2026.
| Power Automate Premium | Process | Pay as you go | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $15 per user a month | $150 per bot a month ($215 hosted) | $0.60 per cloud run, $3 per unattended run |
| Covers | One person's flows, plus attended desktop automation | One flow, or up to 25 in a flow group, plus one unattended bot | Each run, billed to an Azure subscription |
| Daily actions | 40,000 per user | 250,000 per licence, stackable up to 10 | Request overage meter not yet billed |
| Fits | People building and running their own flows | Shared business flows like AP approvals or order sync | Seasonal or low-volume flows |
People who only approve don't need Premium. The Business Central and SQL Server connectors are premium, so anyone running those flows does. Sharing one Premium licence on a service account across many users isn't allowed. Power Apps Premium is $20 per user a month.
They share the same connectors. The difference is who builds it, how it's billed and how much it has to handle.

The connector decides the limits you design around.
| Route | Limits to design for | |
|---|---|---|
| Business Central | Business Central connector (premium), with built-in approval triggers | 300 calls per connection a minute; records over 8 MB are rejected |
| Dynamics GP, SYSPRO and other SQL-based ERPs | SQL Server connector through the on-premises data gateway | Queries time out at 110 seconds; 2 MB writes; keep the gateway within its last six monthly releases |
| SAP ECC and S/4HANA | SAP ERP connector through the gateway | Older 'Call SAP function' flows must move to the newer actions |
| SAP Business One, Epicor Kinetic, Infor | A custom connector on the ERP's API, or middleware | Built and versioned like any integration |
| Screens with no API | Desktop flows (RPA), attended or unattended | One unattended run at a time per Process licence |
Microsoft no longer maintains the CoE Starter Kit, so governance now lives in the Power Platform admin center.
From February 2027, people without a qualifying licence can't open apps in a managed environment, even apps built on standard connectors. Business Central licences qualify. AI Builder now draws on Copilot Credits; the included credits for existing customers end on 1 November 2026.
We pick the licence model, set up environments and connector policies, build the flows and apps that touch your ERP, and make sure they keep running when people change roles. Then we support them under an SLA.
Power Automate Premium is $15 per user a month and the Process licence is $150 per bot a month, both US list prices paid yearly. Pay-as-you-go runs are $0.60 for a cloud flow run and $3 for an unattended desktop run.
Anyone who builds or runs flows with the Business Central connector needs a licence that includes premium connectors. People who only approve requests don't.
Yes, through the on-premises data gateway and the SQL Server connector. Queries time out at 110 seconds, so we use views and stored procedures rather than long ad hoc queries.
It drops to the lowest performance profile and can fail once their connections stop working. We move shared flows to a service principal and add co-owners, so nobody's departure breaks the business.
No. Microsoft stopped maintaining it in 2026 and points to the admin center's Inventory, Usage, Monitor and Actions pages instead. That's what we set up.
Power Automate for flows a business team owns, like approvals. Logic Apps for high-volume integration, like bank files, EDI and ERP sync, run by developers on Azure. Many clients use both.
