The basics
What is Power Apps?
Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, connectors and a data platform for building custom business apps. Apps connect to Microsoft Dataverse or to many online and on-premises sources, such as SharePoint, SQL Server and Dynamics 365. Both app types use Power Fx, an Excel-like formula language.
Canvas apps vs model-driven apps
- Canvas apps start from the user experience: you design each screen on a blank canvas and connect to more than 200 data sources, including SharePoint and Excel.
- Model-driven apps start from your data model in Dataverse; the screens are generated from forms, views and business processes.
- Canvas apps are good for task apps, mobile apps and apps on top of SharePoint lists, which is what most of our tutorials cover.
- Power Fx is the low-code formula language behind both. It’s strongly typed, declarative and open source.

- 500 / 2,000Delegation limitWhen a query can’t be delegated, Power Apps only processes the first 500 records by default, and at most 2,000. Read how to fix delegation warnings.
- Fluent 2Modern controlsModern controls based on Fluent 2 are available in canvas apps under Settings > Updates > New. Some, such as the modern Table and Dropdown, are still in preview.
- NewGenerative pagesDescribe a page in plain language and Power Apps creates a React-based page for a model-driven app (limited regions, English prompts).
- LicensingPower Apps PremiumThe former per-user plan is now called Power Apps Premium. Microsoft 365 licenses include limited use rights with standard connectors such as SharePoint.
- FreeDeveloper Plan for learningFree with a work or school account, for development and testing. It includes Dataverse and premium connectors.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a canvas app and a model-driven app?
A canvas app starts from the user experience: you design every screen and can connect to more than 200 data sources, including SharePoint. A model-driven app starts from Dataverse tables, and its screens are generated from forms, views and business processes.
What is Power Fx?
Power Fx is the low-code formula language of the Power Platform. It uses Excel-like formulas, is strongly typed and declarative, and is open source.
What is delegation in Power Apps?
Delegation means the data source does the filtering and sorting. When a formula can’t be delegated, Power Apps only works with the first 500 records by default, which you can raise to 2,000 in the app settings.
Can I learn Power Apps for free?
Yes. The Power Apps Developer Plan is free for anyone with a work or school account. It’s for development and testing, and includes Dataverse and premium connectors.
Do I need a premium license to build apps on SharePoint lists?
Not usually. Microsoft 365 licenses include limited Power Apps use rights with standard connectors, and SharePoint is a standard connector. Premium connectors and Dataverse need Power Apps Premium or another premium license.
