Simplifies integrations, accelerates development timelines, and offers a good MVP
We integrate FlutterFlow into our app development process by first developing the code using the enterprise ID. Once the code is ready, we preview it and then download it. We have built a CI process where the code, once pushed to the gate, is processed by CI actions to generate the appropriate output, whether it is an IPA or APK file. While FlutterFlow currently focuses on website development, we write the code in a way that allows us to adapt it for mobile apps as well. We maintain a unified codebase for all three platforms, ensuring consistency and efficiency in our development workflow. FlutterFlow accelerated my development timeline on a project where I needed a simple website with basic navigation and form submissions. While it lacks advanced design pattern options and some features are still maturing, it simplifies integration and speeds up development. FlutterFlow's UI design capabilities have significantly impacted my app development by allowing me to communicate marketing concepts more effectively through visual flow. Every feature in FlutterFlow, from screen design to integrations, has been valuable for my development efforts. However, having better support for multiple design patterns and ensuring compatibility with custom changes would greatly improve the development experience. Overall, I would rate FlutterFlow as an eight out of ten.

Microsoft Power Apps could be improved because there are still a lot of jargons and too many moving parts. For example, if you look at Copilot, the term Copilot is confusing in the sense of whether it is Copilot in M365, Copilot Studio, or Copilot in Microsoft Power Apps. There is a plan designer which uses Copilot. The whole thing how AI has been positioned is still not lucid for the end user. An end user wants to know exactly what they want and where they go to get it. I think that could also be because things are evolving so fast. From an end-user perspective, the way it has been positioned, the clarity and the boundaries between the different types of offerings and AI offerings available is confusing as of now. There should be better clarity on that. The biggest issue I have, and I have also spoken to a few of my clients about this, is the licensing model. In traditional software development, almost 95 percent of the time, the development team bears the cost of the licenses. For example, if I develop something, I may have to pay licenses for four or five different software that I use. As a user, if you use my services, you probably pay something to me as a subscription, but you do not have to bother about the licenses. All that is wrapped under the hood. Unfortunately, in Power Platform as such, and even in other low-code things like UiPath, if you use a premium feature such as Dataverse, almost everything ends up using Dataverse or SQL Server or some relational database. If you use that, then as an app builder or app maker you have to have a premium license. The end user too would need to have a premium license. That really makes the adoption prohibitive. It is too expensive. We are talking about something like around just for Microsoft Power Apps alone, approximately twenty dollars per month, which is extremely high. Another point to consider for what else can be improved in Microsoft Power Apps is that one does not know what compute power one is getting when one buys a license. If you look at the licensing model, you will get to know how much of Dataverse storage you will get in terms of log storage, database storage, and file storage. However, you do not get to know how much of compute power is being given to you. I do not think Microsoft has an SLA saying that any request of a certain amount, such as MB per second, you will get a response time of whatever, one by sixtieth of a second or some millisecond. I do not think that they have that performance SLA in place. They do have storage SLA which comes with the license, but they do not have a corresponding SLA for performance.

Pros

"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
"It is good for using for small apps and automation on Office stuff."
"If you're using Microsoft Power Apps to connect to a SharePoint list and create a quick form for business users, it's highly effective."
"Creating a PowerApp is very easy. All I do is link and share the result with my colleagues. Deployment is very fast."
"For all no-code platforms that let you create a front end, you can click together something very quick."
"The flows are good because they can be used in a variety of situations."
"The speed of the solution is valuable."
"Microsoft Power Apps has helped us handle our fairly complex invoices, including filing and reviewing them manually. We’re working towards automating our invoice processing, labeling them according to organization accounts, and developing an entirely digital workflow. The tool uses customizable AI models for your organization's documents, so it supports AI-driven projects well."
 

Cons

"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"The portal and canvas apps need to be improved and brought up to speed."
"The tool's documentation can be better. The information in the documentation needs to be updated."
"This tool doesn't have an internal database. It only relies on the data layer of Microsoft Cloud."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"Integration with databases and other tools needs to be improved."
"I recommend improving Microsoft Power Apps' licensing model. I've encountered challenges related to licensing complexity, which has led some customers to opt for traditional solution development and deployment methods instead."
"The pricing structure needs to be improved, the current information is confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"It depends on the subscription of Office 365 that customers have. With some subscriptions, it's possible to use PowerApps."
"The price of Microsoft PowerApps is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I pay nine dollars monthly for the subscription to this solution and the price of the is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"This is not an expensive product and there are no licensing fees."
"For me, it was free to develop with a professional license, which is about 70 euros a month."
"Usually, the free licenses of Power Apps come to normal corporate users for free...For normal users within a corporate firm with licenses, it's totally favorable."
"Power Apps is relatively cheap compared to other low-code and no-code systems like OutSystems and Mendix."
