- If you’ve ever wondered whether to choose Power Automate or Logic Apps for automating tasks and processes, this video is for you! Microsoft’s mantra has been “Do more with less,” and automation is key to achieving that. But how do you decide which tool to use? Should you go with Power Automate or Logic Apps? 🤔
In this video I created for the Global Power Platform Bootcamp 2024, we’ll dive deep into both tools, exploring their similarities and differences. I’ll guide you through my thought processes when building automations for my business or helping clients make the right choice. We’ll even do live demos, building the similar automations in both Power Automate and Logic Apps.

Nice video and beautiful family!👏👏👏👏 thanks!
Can you assign per user license to service account as owner of flows?
Erick, sorry was out on a vacation and just now getting to this. From a Microsoft Terms of Service, I honestly don't know. From a technical perspective for the longevity of the flow with per user licenses to ensure it continues to work withouth having to export/import to chnage the Flow owner, that woul 100% be the way to set it up.
Shouldn't use either unless prepared for the 10x cost of ownership compared to even the most mediocre of C# code. Allowing these products into your organization is the same as allowing the construction of business critical functionality (the stuff that affects the bottom line) by people who have no real grasp of complexity and long-term maintenance of IT systems and products. Will always end up in a very sad and costly place.
There is absolutely a risk of ending up in a costly place. However, I still think there are some benefits that can be had from this. I have a lot of clients successfully using both of these tools and avoiding a safe and costly place. I also agree that writing code can also be a legitimate alternative to these tools and have worked with companies that have done that as well.
However, not all companies are in a place where that is possible for them and Logic Apps and Power Automate are great tools to have in their toolbelt. When talking about all of these options, C#, Azure Functions, Power Automate, Logic Apps, or any other tools, it's all about choosing the write tool for the job and ensuring that it is properly managed and governed.
While I appreciate the insight and I agree that you can end up in a sad and costly place with either of these. However, based on my experience and work with 100's of clients, I strongly disagree with your premises that you will ALWAYS end up there.
I've been using Logic Apps for years and it's enabled me to bring value that I wouldn't otherwise have been given budget to accomplish. There are always tradeoffs.
