How to Determine Your Monthly Active Users (MAU)
Common Mistake: Many organizations think they need licenses for ALL customers in their database. This is usually NOT true!
What MAU Actually Means:
MAU = Unique users who actually LOG IN per month
NOT the total number of contacts in your CRM or Dataverse!
- 500,000 customers in your Dataverse database
- 500 cases created per month
- 450 unique customers who created those cases
- 460 unique contacts who actually logged in
Result: You need ~500 MAU licenses (with growth buffer)
NOT 500,000 licenses!
How to Calculate Your Real MAU:
- Check Login Statistics: Review Power Pages analytics for unique authenticated users per month
- Analyze Case Data: Count unique contacts who created/updated cases monthly
- Review Web Analytics: Filter authenticated sessions in Application Insights
- Historical Analysis: Look at the last 3-6 months to find peak usage
- Add Growth Buffer: Add 15-25% for seasonal spikes and growth
Where to Find This Data:
Standard Approach:
- Power Platform Admin Center: Analytics dashboard with DAU/WAU/MAU metrics (last 30 days)
Custom Tracking (Advanced):
- Application Insights: Query authenticated user sessions and telemetry data
- Custom Analytics: Implement tracking in Liquid templates or JavaScript

Power Pages Pricing FAQ
How much does Power Pages cost?
Power Pages is licensed per website and per month, based on unique users. Authenticated users cost $200 per month for a capacity pack of 100 users. Anonymous users cost $75 per month for a capacity pack of 500 users. With pay-as-you-go, you pay $4 per active authenticated user and $0.30 per active anonymous user, per website and month. These are Microsoft list prices for the commercial channel; education and non-profit customers get special pricing.
What does Power Pages cost for 1,000 or 15,000 users?
1,000 authenticated users per month need 10 capacity packs: 10 × $200 = $2,000 per month. From 10,000 users (minimum purchase of 100 packs), Tier 2 applies at $75 per pack, so 15,000 authenticated users cost 150 × $75 = $11,250 per month instead of $30,000 at Tier 1. From 100,000 users (minimum 1,000 packs), Tier 3 costs $50 per pack. Anonymous packs follow the same pattern: $75, then $37.50 from 10,000 users (minimum 20 packs), then $25 from 100,000 users (minimum 200 packs).
Subscription or pay-as-you-go: which is cheaper?
A subscription pack costs $2 per authenticated user ($200 / 100) and $0.15 per anonymous user ($75 / 500), half the pay-as-you-go rate. Subscription is cheaper as soon as your actual monthly users fill more than half of the capacity you buy. Pay-as-you-go makes sense when usage is low, seasonal or hard to predict, because it only bills users who actually visited. If an environment is switched to pay-as-you-go, prepaid capacity assigned to it is ignored.
Who counts as a user?
Users are counted once per website per calendar month. An authenticated user is identified by the Dataverse contact record they sign in with, no matter how often they log in. An anonymous user is identified by a browser cookie, so a new browser, device or cleared cookies count as a new user. Visiting only the sign-in page does not count as an anonymous user. You license your expected monthly active users, not your total user base: a site with 100,000 registered users of whom 5,000 sign in per month needs capacity for 5,000.
Do internal users with Dynamics 365 or Power Apps licenses need Power Pages capacity?
No. Users with a Power Apps per user license or a Dynamics 365 enterprise license are not counted against Power Pages capacity. Power Apps per app licensed users get one website. For Dynamics 365, the website has to map to the licensed Dynamics 365 application context and live in the same environment. The users must sign in with Microsoft Entra ID in the same tenant where the license is assigned.
What is included in the license?
Each authenticated capacity pack includes 2 GB of Dataverse database and 16 GB of file capacity; each anonymous pack includes 500 MB of database and 4 GB of file capacity, plus 5 GB of database capacity per tenant. Content delivery network (CDN) and web application firewall (WAF) are included and need no extra license. Unused capacity does not carry forward to the next month.
What is the minimum I can assign per environment?
At least 25 authenticated users and 200 anonymous users per environment. Websites in trial mode or private mode are not counted by the pay-as-you-go meters, which keeps development and testing free.
