NZ has three kinds of Power Platform provider, and the right one depends on the size of your firm. This page lists 25 of them found in a search sweep of their own websites, grouped by the client size each one actually builds for, sorted from the largest firms down to the smallest. Kove is one of them, and its row sits at the small end.
Groups run from enterprise-focused firms down to owner-operated ones, so the small end of the market is at the bottom. "Stated" means the provider's own site names that client size directly. "Inferred" means it is read from the scale of the work shown, or the page could not be independently confirmed this pass.

Methodology and the search sweep this is built from: seo-tools/drafts/provider-list-research.md in the kove.nz repository. No addresses, personal staff names or phone numbers appear on this page.
Rows are checked against each provider's own site; last review 2026-09-19.
Who they suit: mid-market and enterprise organisations, often with their own IT team and a rollout that touches several departments, or a board that wants a named Microsoft partner on the slide.
What a typical engagement looks like: a discovery phase, usually paid, before you get a number. A project manager and an account manager on the invoice. A bench of developers behind them, and a support retainer after go-live.
What to ask them: is discovery paid, and what happens if you stop after it. What is the realistic minimum engagement size. Who actually writes the code. What happens to the relationship once your specific project ends.
Who they suit: firms that already buy day-to-day IT support from the same company, and want one system built inside a Microsoft 365 tenant that company already manages.
What a typical engagement looks like: Power Platform work quoted the same way as their other project work, hours or a scoped fixed price, usually bundled into the managed-services relationship rather than sold as a stand-alone specialism.
What to ask them: how many Power Platform builds they have actually shipped, as distinct from general IT support. Who on the team does the build work. Whether the price includes documentation and a handover you could act on without them.
Who they suit: one system or automation for a small firm, where you want to deal directly with the person building it and do not need a bench behind them.
What a typical engagement looks like: a fixed price or day rate agreed directly with the person doing the work, usually with no separate discovery phase billed up front.
What to ask them: what happens if they are unavailable partway through. Whether source and credentials are handed over at the end. What support costs after go-live.
Kove sits at the small end of that third group, and the table above ends there on purpose: one person, fixed prices published on the services page, clients under 20 staff. Who that fits and who it does not is spelled out on the Power Platform consultant page.
A short list, on the table above: mostly the freelancer and micro-consultancy group, plus Kove. Searching New Zealand's own indexed web for this turns up surprisingly few providers built specifically for that size; most of the visible market is built for firms many times larger, and says so on its own site. The under-20-staff end of the table is genuinely thin, not under-represented by this sweep.
A consultancy sells a team: a project manager, developers behind them, often a discovery phase before a price, and a support retainer after. A freelancer or solo consultant sells their own hours or a fixed price directly, with no one between you and the person building it. The consultancy suits a programme across several departments; the solo route suits one system at a time, which is what most firms under 50 staff actually have.
Group A and Group B on the table typically price around a paid discovery phase, so the first real number arrives after that cost. Group C and Kove publish fixed bands instead: Kove's are $4,000 to $8,000 for a single app or automation, $3,500 for a Workflow Review that gives you an exact number before any build commitment, and $8,000 to $18,000 for a legacy system migration with the migration included.
The full priced breakdown, contractor, freelancer, consultancy and solo, in NZD, is on hire a Power Apps developer in NZ. In short: consultancy day rates sit at or above contractor rates plus a paid discovery phase, with a realistic minimum engagement of $15,000 to $50,000 depending on size, against fixed bands from freelancers and solo consultants that start much lower for a single system.
Six questions that sort most providers fast: is discovery paid, who writes the code, what exactly is handed over at go-live, what you keep paying afterwards, which Microsoft licences your staff will need, and whether they are GST registered. The twelve-question version, with what a good answer sounds like, is in questions to ask before hiring an automation consultant, and the structural reasons the answers differ by provider size are in why the big Microsoft consultancies will not take your small migration.
No. It is built from providers whose own websites turned up in a September 2026 search sweep for Power Platform and Dynamics 365 work in New Zealand, with a visible position on the size of client they serve. A firm with no public web presence, or one this sweep missed, is not on it.
No. Kove has never taken payment for a placement, a mention or a review anywhere on this site, and no provider on this page paid to be listed or left off it.
Each row is marked stated where the provider's own site says its target client size directly, and inferred where it is read from the scale of the work shown, such as an enterprise-grade product line or a named client roster, or where a page could not be independently confirmed on this pass.
Kove is a genuine Power Platform provider under 20 staff, the same business that built this page. It sits in the table on the same terms as every other row, at the small end of client size, not first.
