Explore all Power Apps capabilities for free by signing up for a 30-day Power Apps trial plan. If you don't have a license for Power Apps, the trial plan gives temporary access to these activities:
- Extend the capabilities of Office 365 (SharePoint Online, Teams, Excel, and more)
- Create and run canvas apps that connect to Microsoft Dataverse and over 200 other data sources, including premium connectors and on-premises data.
- Create and run model-driven apps
- Automate workflows with Power Automate
- Create and manage environments and Dataverse databases
If you have a Power Apps license or a license through Office 365, you already have access to some of these features. However, the trial license temporarily expands your access to include all features in the previous list. Learn what capabilities each type of license offers on the pricing page.

FAQ
What email address can I use?
You can use a work or school email address, backed by Microsoft Entra ID, to sign up for a trial license. If you use a different kind of address, you might experience one of the symptoms in this table.
| Symptom / error message | Cause and workaround |
|---|---|
Personal email addresses (for example, @gmail.com email address) You receive a message like the following during signup: You entered a personal email address: Please enter your work email address so we can securely store your company's data. or That looks like a personal email address. Enter your work address so we can connect you with others in your company. And don’t worry. We won’t share your address with anyone. |
Power Apps doesn't support email addresses provided by consumer email services or telecommunications providers. To complete signup, try again using an email address assigned by your work or school. |
| .gov or .mil addresses You receive a message like the following during signup: Power Apps unavailable: Power Apps is not available for users with .gov or .mil email addresses at this time. Use another work email address or check back later. or We can't finish signing you up. It looks like Microsoft Power Apps isn't currently available for your work or school. |
Power Apps doesn't support .gov or .mil addresses at this time. |
| Email address is not an Office 365 ID You receive a message like the following during signup: We can't find you at contoso.com. Do you use a different ID at work or school? Try signing in with that, and if it doesn't work, contact your IT department. |
Your organization signs in to Office 365 and other Microsoft services with IDs other than email addresses. For example, your email address might be Nancy.Smith@contoso.com, but your ID is nancys@contoso.com. To complete signup, use the ID that your organization has assigned to you for signing in to Office 365 or other Microsoft services. If you don't know what this is, contact your IT administrator. |
Does the cloud environment I use Power Apps in allow the use of trial licenses?
Power Apps trial licenses are available only in the Azure commercial cloud. They aren't available in Azure Government or Microsoft Azure China clouds.
What happens when my trial expires?
You're prompted to request an extension of the trial or purchase a plan 30 days after the trial starts. You can extend the trial two more times (30 days each)—with a maximum trial period of 90 days. You can find details about all plans on the pricing page.
If you don't extend the trial or purchase a plan but you still have another kind of license, you can use all the features of Power Apps that your other license provides. Any data in Dataverse remains unchanged, and any app or flow that uses Dataverse continues to run if your license supports them. If you try to use premium Power Apps features but your existing license doesn't support them (for example, modify a schema or entities in Dataverse), you are prompted to purchase a plan.
