Maximize Impact with Your AI Builder Credits

If you’ve purchased Power Apps or Power Automate licenses, chances are you already have AI Builder credits — but they’re probably going unused. These credits are included in most paid plans, yet many organisations don’t even realise they have them. For instance, a Power Apps Premium license includes 500 AI Builder credits per user per month. A Power Automate Premium licence includes 5000 AI Builder credits per user per month! You can check your allocation in the Power Platform Admin Center under Licensing > Capacity-add-ons. 

What Are AI Builder Credits? 

They’re a monthly allowance that can be used for AI features like form processing, object detection, and prediction models. While powerful, these capabilities often come with niche use cases — and can burn through credits quickly. For example, processing a single one-page document might use up around 100 credits. 

But there’s a smarter way to spend your credits: 

AI Prompts let you integrate large language models like GPT directly into Power Automate and Power Apps. And with GPT-4o-mini, you get impressive performance at a fraction of the credit cost — typically just 3–5 credits per run, depending on your prompt. The built-in AI Prompt editor even gives you an upfront estimate. 

💡 Use Case Spotlight: 

Add an intelligent pre-screening step in an approval flow — for example, checking if an expense request complies with company policy — without writing any code. It’s fast, effective, and costs only a few credits per approval. 

Don’t let your credits go to waste.
