Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, and connectors, as well as a data platform, that provides a rapid development environment to build custom apps for your business needs.
Power Apps help us to build custom business applications and connect them to stored data with online and on-premises platforms. It mainly supports Microsoft Microsoft SQL Server, SharePoint, dynamics, and office 365.
But the platform is continuously evolving. Therefore, if you have the Microsoft based applications and databases then power Apps will be a better choice.
Low Code and Opensource
I have been an advocate of open-source projects. What I have listed above are the Commercial platforms, and not every business can afford to have Commercial platforms, if you can invest more in your skills then opensource can also be used.
Though you can’t compare the features with Commercial, but still open source does a lot.
