Power Pages: Versus Power Apps
October 28, 2024 3 Min.To ReadA question I recently saw on the Power Platform Community forums asked why would someone use Power Apps (I’m assuming they are referring to canvas apps) instead of Power Pages. They mentioned that using Dataverse with Power Apps requires a premium license, so I think the implication is that Power Pages might be a cheaper option. In this blog post, I’m going to look at some of considerations when making the choice between Power Pages and Power Apps (both model-driven and canvas).

As I’ve described in previous posts previous posts, delivering an ISV product using Power Pages is not without its challenges. In this post, I’m going to look at one particular issue we ran into during our development.

Power Pages: When to Use (and When Not To)
March 6, 2023 5 Min.To ReadThe growth of Power Pages has been an amazing story. Since being acquired by Microsoft in 2015, the product has gone from a niche add-on for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement to a full-fledged product in the Power Platform. The visibility that comes with getting equal billing to other Power Platform products like Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate means that new people are discovering Power Pages all of the time. However, as with any software product, Power Pages isn’t always a fit, even if your project fall under the category of low code web application development platforms.

Power Pages: Adding a Custom Form Modal to List Action Buttons
December 8, 2023 6 Min.To ReadRecently there was a comment on my blog Power Apps Portals: Related Entity as Source of Next Web Form Step about adding a custom Edit button to a list or subgrid.
