Practical guide
Power Apps or Custom Web App?
Choose based on users, Microsoft 365, interfaces, integrations, and ownership.

Both approaches can work. The right choice depends on users, environment, interface, integrations, and ownership—not fashion.
Power Apps often fits when
- The team already uses Microsoft 365
- Users are internal
- The workflow is structured
- Fast controlled delivery matters
- Standard connectors cover the need
A custom web app often fits when
- External users need access
- The interface is highly tailored
- The workflow or scale is complex
- Custom APIs are central
- Specific deployment or ownership requirements apply
