How it works
Beyond cloud flows, Power Automate includes desktop RPA, which records and replays actions in legacy desktop software that has no API. AI Builder adds document processing and predictions, and process mining highlights which manual processes are worth automating first.
A free plan is included with many Microsoft 365 licences, and Premium costs $15 per user per month. Power Automate is the natural choice for Microsoft-centred organisations, though its licensing can be confusing and beginners may find the builder busy.
