The Power Apps Developer Plan gives us the free development environment to build and test with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Microsoft Dataverse.
This enables us to,
- Create Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate Flows without writing code, using the development tools and can easily share and collaborate the solutions with other developers.
- Connect to any data source by using Power Platform connectors or by creating your own custom connectors.
- Use a fully managed, scalable data platform with Dataverse, including OOB common tables or can build our own data schema.
- Export the solutions that you create in the developer environment and publish them on Microsoft AppSource.
