Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code application development platform that allows organisations to build custom business apps without the need for complex coding or dedicated development teams. Using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, pre-built templates and AI components, Power Apps enables both technical and non-technical users to create apps that run across web, iOS and Android devices.
Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code application development platform that enables your organisation to build bespoke business apps quickly, without the need for complex coding or lengthy development cycles. Whether you need a simple data capture form or a fully tailored operational tool, Power Apps puts the ability to build in the hands of your people.
Apps are built using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, pre-built templates and out-of-the-box components, meaning both first-line workers and experienced developers can create solutions that modernise processes and improve productivity. Apps run across web, Android and iOS, and can be scaled using Azure to meet the demands of your organisation as it grows.
Power Apps connects seamlessly with the tools your organisation already relies on, including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure and a wide range of third-party applications, giving every app you build a comprehensive view of your operations from day one.

Common Questions
What do organisations typically use Power Apps for?
Power Apps is used across a wide range of business functions. Common use cases include on-site attendance tracking, employee onboarding, annual leave and expenses approval, IT service requests, field-based inspections and mobile sales intake tools. At Kick, we use Power Apps for our own internal attendance management, so we understand the practical value it delivers firsthand.
Low-code is an approach to application development that simplifies the process so that anyone can create custom apps regardless of their technical background or coding experience. Rather than writing lines of code from scratch, low-code platforms like Power Apps use visual tools such as drag-and-drop builders and pre-built templates to make app development faster, more accessible and more cost-effective for organisations of all sizes.
How much does Power Apps cost?
Power Apps licensing can vary depending on your requirements, and Microsoft's licensing guidance can be complex to navigate. Power Apps is available as a free entry-level version as well as paid per-user and per-app plans. We recommend speaking to our team directly to discuss your specific needs and ensure you're on the right licensing model for your organisation.
