I've already seen that for power apps portal is not an easy task do it:

What are the pros and cons of using Power Apps Portal vs Sharepoint Site?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I would say you are trying to compare 2 different elements because.. SharePoint comes with some default structure and default DB associated with it. PowerApps portal you need to define all the steps on CDS. SharePoint mainly meant for storing files, creating lists, tasks, and organizing that with various permission levels.

Coming to migration from one place to another SharePoint also has a lot of limitations in it despite there are many proven migration tools for SharePoint portal migration.

Power Apps portal is a year old technology and still evolving more and more.

I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.

Hi @KrishnaV and thanks for the response.

I'm trying to compare them because I could reach the same result with both:

a website with simple actions such as add/remove item, listing, basic ux/ui ecc...

Could you clarify better the differences between them? Which one do you suggest to use and why?

As I know Power Apps Portal is a pretty new technology.
