- What is Exam PL-900?
- PL-900 is Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals. It earns the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Fundamentals certification and covers the business value of the platform, environment management with Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate, and, from July 24, 2026, agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio. It costs $99 in the United States, confirmed in Microsoft's published pricing feed.
- Is PL-900 being retired?
- No. Microsoft's fundamentals retirement announcement named MS-900, MB-910 and MB-920, and PL-900 appears nowhere in it. Instead of retiring it, Microsoft rewrote it: the July 24, 2026 refresh removes the Power Pages domain and adds a Copilot Studio agents domain worth 20 to 25 percent. A rewrite that deep is a signal the exam has a future, not that it is winding down.
- What changes on the PL-900 exam on July 24, 2026?
- Three big things, all straight from Microsoft's change log. The entire Power Pages domain is removed. Every hands-on build objective is removed, including build a canvas app and build a model-driven app. And a brand-new domain, describe features and capabilities of agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio, is added at 20 to 25 percent. The business-value domain shrank while environment management and Power Automate grew.
- How much does the PL-900 exam cost?
- $99 in the United States. Unlike several newer Microsoft exams, PL-900 is listed in Microsoft's published per-exam pricing feed, so this figure is confirmed rather than assumed. That matches the other fundamentals exams in the feed, AZ-900, SC-900 and DP-900, which are also $99.
- How many questions are on the PL-900 exam?
- Microsoft publishes no question count for PL-900 and no pass rate for any of its exams. Its general guidance is that most exams contain 40 to 60 questions. The passing score is 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000, and Microsoft notes that a scaled score may not equal 70 percent of the points. Any site quoting an exact PL-900 question count invented it.
- Does PL-900 include Power BI?
- No. Power BI appears zero times in the current PL-900 skills-measured outline, which surprises people because older versions of the exam did cover it. If you want the Power BI exam, that is PL-300, Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst, a separate associate-level certification with no prerequisite. PL-900 covers Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, environment administration and Copilot Studio agents.
- Is PL-900 harder than AZ-900?
- They are comparable in difficulty and both cost $99, but they test different worlds. AZ-900 covers Azure cloud concepts and services and feeds the infrastructure ladder. PL-900 covers the low-code stack and feeds the Power Platform and Dynamics ladders. PL-900 remains a describe-level exam; the word describe appears about 50 times in its outline, so it tests recognition and use cases, not hands-on configuration.
