Powerapps vs Smartsheet vs Quickbase
Has anyone developed in all 3 platforms? Can anyone give insight on the where they fall short of QB, or perhaps any advantages? I love working in QB, but was recently asked why not just Smartsheet or ...

Well, I've experience of using 2 (PowerApps and QB) and here's what I think:
Quick Base is a unified platform offering application development, workflow orchestration, and system integration all in one intuitive package, while Microsoft's ecosystem is a patchwork of various app dev and business productivity solutions that are challenging to assemble and integrate. MS PowerApps acts as a front end while it will still need a backend data source (external) and Power BI (external) for reporting purposes. All these additional technology stack have YoY hosting/license cost over and above MS PowerApps.
Quick Base lets you start a new app quickly using our drag-and-drop builder, or by uploading a spreadsheet of data. While the types of apps Power Apps offers are opaque, can lead to dead-ends and a lot of re-work.
