I am the cofounder of Budibase, and I agree with the many comments here around Microsoft throwing tools at the low-code space and seeing what sticks. The most popular source of users we get are PowerApps users who are fed up with the constant change and moving states.

If you are looking for an open source alternative to Powerapps - check out Budibase [1][2]

I am happy to remove this post, as it is slightly promotional, but I do feel it is very relevant.

This looks amazing. This app would make half of my current job more or less redundant.

haha that is certainly not the purpose - it's to speed up the dev process so you can focus on other things.

Could you provide a comparison of Budibase vs. Power Apps? What are the pros and cons?

At the highest level: Budibase - open source + self-host via docker, K8s, DO Budibase - use handlebars and JavaScript for data binding Budibase - desktop, tablet, mobile apps Budibase - public and private apps Budibase - built in automation interface

Powerapps - very reliant on microsoft ecosystem (sharepoint, excel) Powerapps - uses Power fx Powerapps - mostly made for tablet and mobile apps Powerapps - private apps + portal Powerapps - i think powerapps makes use of another Microsoft tool for automation

I feel the components and outputted apps are better within Budibase. PowerApps is more mature than Budibase so it has an ecosystem of consultants

Cool, thanks!
