To get started with Power Automate Desktop, you must have the “Power Automate Desktop” program installed. Note: Power Automate Desktop is not a web application, such as Power Automate, and must be downloaded to your Windows computer as a program.
The honest answer is: all applications. This is because Power Automate Desktop is a solution that works as a layer on top of your existing applications. The interaction therefore takes place via the buttons and fields of your applications, so you can work with almost any application imaginable.
That depends on what you need. In principle, there is also a free version where you can automate a few things. However, it is limited to manually turning on your software robot. For more information, it's best to our blog read about prices.
We often say that Power Automate Desktop is a big brother to macros. A bigger brother who is just that little bit smarter when it comes to trading. As a result, the technology is much more reliable than macros.

Microsoft Power Automate Desktop is for anyone who wants to automate easily in applications without APIs. This is because Power Automate Desktop is a low-code solution that requires minimal code.
To automate modern applications with API, it is recommended to take a look at Power Automate (the variant without a Desktop behind it).
Power Automate is for API-based automation. An API is a conduit between two applications to send data back and forth. Modern applications often have an API.
Power Automate Desktop is for automating based on UI elements. UI elements are buttons and input fields in applications. Power Automate Desktop is often used to automate applications without an API. Often these are somewhat older applications, also known as legacy applications.
