How is AI Builder licensed?

The thing to remember about AI Builder is that it is a bolt-on to the standard Power Platform offering – your standard Power Apps or Power Automate licenses – or your Dynamics 365 licensing. AI Builder is licensed through capacity add-ons. What this means is that you purchase credits on a monthly basis, and then assign them to a Power Platform environment. Once the capacity has been assigned, it becomes available for apps and flows in which you want to use AI Builder. Some of the premium-level licenses also include AI Builder credits, such as the Power Apps per - user or Power Automate with RPA plans, so it is always worth checking to see what you already have available before you start purchasing.

As you use actions that leverage AI Builder, the number of credits reduces. The rate at which the credits are reduced, however, is dependent on the specific actions you use. The full AI Builder Rate Card can be found in the Power Platform Licensing...
