Can Microsoft PowerApps create public facing apps

Is it possible to publish apps build with PowerApps for use by the general public i.e. people not in my organisation.

If so, do they scale well - to 10,000s of users?

Update for 2021

You can create a PowerApps Portal app (not canvas or model-driven) that allows external users to access it without signing in (public) and can be scaled to any need.

It's basically a website that you can pull data into using a Microsoft Dynamics 365 form.

It does require the data source to be Microsoft Dataverse (formerly Microsoft Common Data Service) and publicly available data.

How about:

  • Setting up an Azure instance with a kick ass domain name
  • Develop PowerApps
  • Spin off subdomains as needed for each "project"
  • Sell per-user seats for each PowerApp

You'd have to bootstrap the distribution (no app store presence) somehow manage a ridiculous Azure AD and separately bill your customers but... its possible (notice I didn't use the word scalable) :P

FYI, we just had a meeting with Microsoft about licensing & governing. It seems that every public user would also need to pay licensing fees. As such, I don't think this is meant to be used for the general public.

I am afraid, it is not possible at this time. There are resources that app needs that are currently only managed at tenant level.
