Licenses in PlainPPM
You don’t need user licenses for PlainPPM: you use it with an annual package for your entire organization, with an unlimited number of users. On top of that come the Microsoft licenses, which you obtain through your Microsoft agreement.
From DACS: implementation and annual package
- Implementation, one-time: Lean, Business or Enterprise, depending on scope – from configuration to go-live.
- «Basis» annual package, CHF 2,400 per year: test environment, basic support, unlimited number of users, full functionality and access to the extensions in the PlainPPM Feature Kiosk.
- «Plus» annual package, CHF 3,600 per year: everything in «Basis» plus 30% discount on extensions in the PlainPPM Feature Kiosk.
Using PlainPPM requires at least the «Basis» annual package. If more colleagues join, the price stays the same. DACS provides the licenses for the test environment. You’ll find all amounts on the Pricing and licensing page; in Germany, the same amounts apply in EUR.
From Microsoft: licenses for your users
PlainPPM runs in your own Microsoft 365 tenant, so you obtain the Microsoft licenses through your Microsoft agreement. Which license someone needs depends on what they work with:
- Microsoft 365 with Microsoft Teams: for everyone who works with PlainPPM – with Teams, SharePoint and Planner.
- Power Apps Premium: for everyone who uses the PlainPPM app (alternatively Power Apps per app).
- Planner Plan 1: for everyone who edits project plans in Planner Premium; for advanced planning features, Planner and Project Plan 3 or 5.
- Power BI Pro: for everyone who uses the reports in Power BI.
