Custom Business App vs Power Apps: Cost, Limitations & Best Fit

A spreadsheet has become a system and someone has to decide: build the replacement on Microsoft’s low-code platform or commission software you own outright. This guide puts real UK figures on both routes — the full Power Apps licence bill including Dataverse storage and premium connectors, custom build costs at current day rates, the delegation and request-limit ceilings that surface after the demo, a 40-user worked example (£44,676 vs £80,136 over three years), and the seat-count crossover calculation that tells you when the answer flips.

Power Automate vs Custom Development: Proven Smart Guide

Power Automate makes automation look like a Tuesday afternoon of clicking, and for a large class of processes that is exactly right. For another class it becomes the flow nobody can change, debug or licence affordably eighteen months later. This guide compares Power Automate against custom workflow development on the things that actually decide it: where each wins outright, how the licensing meter behaves past the pilot, five-year total cost, governance and ALM, throughput ceilings, security, and the hybrid pattern mature teams settle on — with four comparison tables, a five-question test and a 90-day plan to replace the guess with evidence.

Workflow Automation vs RPA vs AI Agents: Proven Smart Guide

Three categories answer the same complaint about work moving between systems, and vendors in all three use the same slide. They are not interchangeable: one is a rules engine that orchestrates through APIs, one is a robot that drives a screen because there is no API, and one is a model that decides the sequence itself. This guide compares what each does, what each costs across build, licence, run and maintenance, how each fails, and how to combine all three in a single process — with a three-question test, a decision matrix, indicative UK cost ranges and a 90-day pilot plan.

Build vs Buy vs Low-Code: Essential Guide to Avoid Risk

Most businesses settle build vs buy in a budget meeting, months before anyone has written down what the software is for — and then live with the consequences for five to seven years. This guide replaces that with a method: precise definitions of building, buying and low-code, the four ways the decision is routinely got wrong, a five-test framework covering differentiation, volatility, data boundaries, ownership and reversibility, a five-year total cost model that treats maintenance and exit costs as real lines, an honest account of where low-code genuinely wins and where it quietly fails, and a two-week assessment you can run with three people in the room.
