Quick answer

Power Automate pricing, for reference

Prices are US list prices from Microsoft's pricing page, billed yearly; Microsoft says actual prices vary by currency, country and organization. Premium is per user; Process and Hosted Process are per bot, and one bot runs one unattended desktop flow at a time. A 30-day free trial is offered; no free plan is listed on the pricing page.
