Dataverse database add-on capacity runs ~$40 per GB per month

The Power Platform spend
you no longer need to pay

Microsoft raised default Dataverse entitlements twice within six months — many tenants still pay for capacity add-ons the new defaults made redundant. PowerScout audits that, plus unused premium licenses, orphaned flows and apps, and empty environments — priced in dollars. Read-only. Runs in your tenant. Nothing ever leaves it.

What PowerScout finds

The admin center shows usage graphs. PowerScout turns them into money and a plan — with the entitlement math shown line by line, so you can defend every cancellation.

$

Redundant capacity add-ons

Entitled + purchased vs actually used, per type (database/file/log) — the GB you can cancel, priced.

Entitlement math, shown

Every rule applied — tenant base, product base, per-license accrual — from an editable, date-stamped table.

Unused premium licenses

Power Apps and Power Automate premium seats unassigned or stuck on disabled accounts.

Orphaned flows & apps

Owner left or was disabled — automation running (or silently stopped) with nobody watching.

Empty environments

Provisioned, abandoned, still consuming capacity — dev/test leftovers to retire.

No-footprint licenses

Premium users owning no app and no flow — a verified review list before the next true-up.

How it works

No SaaS sign-up, no tenant connection to a third party. You run it; the report stays with you.

Connect read-only

Run the PowerShell script. It reads licenses via Microsoft Graph and apps/flows via the Power Platform admin module — read-only, consented at run time.

Add your capacity numbers

Copy usage from the admin center's Capacity page (CSV or three parameters). PowerScout computes your entitlement from an editable rules table and finds the redundant add-on GB.

Act on the report

Open the HTML report + CSVs, cancel redundant add-ons at renewal, reclaim licenses, re-own orphaned flows. Re-run after each true-up.

Simple, one-time pricing

Buy it once, own it. Cancelling a single redundant GB of database add-on ($480/yr) pays for Solo seven times over.

Questions

Does my tenant data leave my environment?

No. PowerScout is a script that runs inside your tenant. There is no PowerScout server and nothing is uploaded. The report is written to your own machine.

What permissions does it need?

Read-only Microsoft Graph scopes (Organization, User, Directory) for licenses, plus the Power Platform admin module for environments/apps/flows — a Power Platform Administrator (or Dynamics 365 admin) signs in at run time. It never writes changes.

Where do the capacity numbers come from?

From you, via the Power Platform admin center's Capacity page — a small CSV or three parameters. There is no clean public capacity API, so PowerScout is honest about that instead of scraping. Licenses, apps and flows are read automatically.

How is "cancellable add-on" calculated?

Entitled capacity (computed from an editable, date-stamped rules table — tenant base + product base + per-license accruals) plus your purchased add-on, minus actual usage, minus a safety headroom. Every applied rule is printed in the report so you can confirm it against your agreement before cancelling.

Why might my add-ons be redundant now?

Microsoft raised default Dataverse entitlements twice recently — database defaults in December 2025 and file storage around April 2026. Tenants that bought add-ons before those increases often no longer need some or all of them.

Can I use it across client tenants?

Yes — the Pro tier is licensed for unlimited client tenants and white-labels the report with your brand, built for Power Platform consultants and Dynamics partners.
