You can start building apps for free with the Power Apps Developer plan. For individual or small team usage, limited Power Apps Basic is included in some Microsoft 365 licenses. To unlock the full benefits and deploy an unlimited number of apps, sign up for a Power Apps Premium license, which costs \$20.00 per user/month. This product is not available in your market. [See pricing details](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-apps/pricing/) - 02/ ### Do I need a paid license to build apps? The Power Apps Developer plan is free for development and testing. Create apps and flows without writing code using full-featured Power Apps and Power Automate development tools, and easily share and collaborate with others. - 03/ ### How do I keep up with the latest announcements? Join the Power Apps Community and follow news on the blog. [Read the blog](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2217085&clcid=0x409&culture=en-us&country=us) - 04/ ### How is data stored in Power Apps? Power Apps uses Microsoft Dataverse to store and manage data, with built-in benefits from the comprehensive low-code security and governance features and policies in place from Microsoft. [Learn more about security](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/trusted-cloud) - 05/ ### Does low code promote shadow IT and introduce security and governance problems? No. Introducing low-code development into your organization can reduce shadow IT, since employees build solutions in-line with the rules and governance provided. [Learn more about low-code governance](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-apps/topics/low-code-no-code/what-is-low-code-governance-and-why-it-is-necessary) - 06/ ### Is low-code development replacing professional developers? Low-code development isn’t a replacement for developers—it gives developers an additional tool to build solutions. It enables developers to automate repetitive tasks, prioritize complicated jobs, and devote their time to more difficult projects. It also empowers more employees in an organization to support the development team by creating professional-grade websites and apps. [Learn more about low-code vs. traditional development](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/products/power-apps/topics/low-code-no-code/low-code-vs-traditional-development) - 07/ ### What is the role of vibe coding in app development? Vibe coding is an approach to building solutions. While powerful in its speed and getting strong traction, many vibe-coding tools lack the answer to “what’s next after I build the app?” Companies need a reliable and manageable way to build, test, deploy, scale and manage a great number of technologies supporting their operations. Vibe coding can help build some of it.  NEXT STEPS ## Take the next step  ### Start building with Power Apps for free Build and test with a free developer account.
