Microsoft Azure App Service is helpful if you need to set up temporary servers for customers to run their programs in locations that other cloud providers do not cater to. When servers are closer to customers, lower latency is possible, which, in turn, improves response times for applications and makes customers happy. I like that Azure has the features required for microservices, that it is extremely easy to integrate, and that it can be seamlessly deployed.
Sometimes I find it irritating that when instances are stopping, Azure can be painstakingly slow, which also means that you can lose access to your virtual machine while it is happening. Also, it would be nice to see better documentation.
Microsoft PowerApps is great because it is browser-based. This means I can develop solutions on any platform I choose, including Windows, Linux, or OSX. PowerApps is also low-code, which can be beneficial for people who don’t have a lot of time to start developing. Moreso, because it is cloud-based, it gives you the ability to work from anywhere, at any time. And connectivity with other Microsoft products is fantastic (like Visio, Project, Office 365, SharePoint, etc.). PowerApps also has a lot of automation possibilities. The downside of Microsoft PowerApps, though, is that if you have a spotty internet connection, it can make the service seem annoying. Nevertheless, because it boasts a fast development time along with its cloud-based service, it makes it a considerably great platform and tool for organizations that need to develop their own application for use for remote reasons.
Conclusion: In my opinion Azure is costly and with production issues taking at least 12 hours or more to resolve, a so-so technical support team, and less than ideal documentation, I have to say that Microsoft PowerApps takes the lead.

Janet put together a well thought out answer. From my (limited) experience, what she said, I agree
