Power Automate lists 1,572 connectors; 1,396 of them need the Premium seat
TechBag's count of Microsoft's connector reference, set against Zapier, Make and n8n catalogues: what a low-code workflow can reach, and on which licence. September 2026.
A low-code workflow is only as useful as the systems it can reach, and on Microsoft’s platform almost all of that reach is paid for: of 1,572 connectors Microsoft lists for Power Automate, 1,396 are Premium.1 The 2024 version of this piece asked what role low-code platforms play in workflow automation and answered with one vendor’s brochure. The answer a buyer can use is that the platform’s role is the connector catalogue, and the first thing to check is whether the connectors your workflow needs come with the licence you already have.
01The catalogue is the product
Every workflow tool sells the same thing in different sizes: prebuilt connections to other applications’ APIs. Zapier said it connected more than 9,000 apps; Make said over 3,000; n8n’s directory listed 2,192 integrations; Microsoft’s Power Automate page said more than 1,400 prebuilt, certified connectors.2 3 4 5 Microsoft is the only one of the four whose full list marks which connectors a cheaper licence can use, so we counted it.
Power Automate lists 1,572 connectors, but only 176 work without a Premium seat
Connectors or apps each platform says it reaches, and TechBag's count of Power Automate's connector reference by tier, September 2026
Source: Microsoft Learn connector reference (Internet Archive, 1 September 2026); Zapier, Make, n8n and Microsoft pages (Internet Archive, 20 to 29 September 2026) · as of 30 September 2026 · Zapier and Make are the vendors' own rounded claims, n8n its directory's count; they count apps, not connectors. Power Automate rows are TechBag counts
02What the licence decides
Microsoft’s licensing page draws the line plainly. Work and school accounts get cloud flows on standard connectors free, without sharing; Premium, at US$15 a user a month paid yearly, unlocks premium and custom connectors and one attended desktop bot.6 7 A standard connector reaches Outlook, SharePoint or Teams; a CRM, a database or an HTTP call to your own system is usually Premium. Where no connector exists at all, the workflow falls back to a bot that drives the screen, and that is billed per bot, not per user: our note on RPA pricing sets out that gap.
The vendor our 2024 post profiled, Ezofis, offers a 14-day trial on its homepage and prints no price there.8 The question for it, and for any low-code workflow tool, is the same: which of my systems does it reach, and on which meter? Our runs-per-plan comparison and seat-price survey cover the meters.910
03Buying it in India
Power Automate lists in US dollars and is invoiced in INR through a reseller. At the ₹83 to the dollar TechBag’s guides use, Premium is about ₹1,245 a user a month, or ₹1,469 with 18% GST; ten flow owners cost about ₹14,690 a month with tax.7 A flow that copies customer records between systems is processing personal data, and each connection’s stored credential is part of the security safeguard the DPDP Rules, notified on 13 November 2025, bring into force on 13 May 2027.11 CERT-In’s Directions of 28 April 2022 already require ICT logs kept for 180 days within India and incidents reported within six hours, and a workflow’s sign-ins belong in those logs.12
