Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main differences between Adalo Blue and PowerApps?
Adalo Blue is the on-premise visual app builder with RBAC and OAuth governance built in. Enterprise teams build database-driven web and native mobile apps on PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and 200+ data sources — behind their own firewall, without writing code. PowerApps is cloud-hosted on Microsoft Azure, requires Microsoft 365 licensing, and produces canvas or model-driven apps that depend on the Dataverse cloud platform.
Can Adalo Blue work without Microsoft 365 or Azure?
Yes. Adalo Blue has no dependency on Microsoft infrastructure. It runs on-premise within your own environment and connects to any database or service through its built-in API layer. PowerApps requires Microsoft 365 or standalone licensing and runs on Azure, which may not meet data sovereignty requirements for regulated industries.
