If You've Built on Power Apps, You Know the Wall

Power Apps is great — until it isn't. Most teams hit the same four walls within 18 months.

The Per-Seat Tax

100 users on Premium = $24,000/year just for the right to USE your own apps.

The Customization Wall

Need a custom dropdown that pulls from 3 systems? Multi-step approval logic? You'll spend weeks fighting the platform.

The AI Gap

Power Apps' AI Builder is years behind. Real GPT-4/Claude requires custom code that fights the platform every step.

The Microsoft Lock-In

Your apps, data, and logic live inside Microsoft's ecosystem. Want to migrate? You'll rebuild from scratch.

Power Apps was built for 2018.

Your team deserves 2026.

WHY CUSTOM

What You Pay Microsoft Forever — vs Build Once and Own

Power Apps charges you per user, per month, forever. We build the same internal apps custom — better — once.

Microsoft Power Apps
RedDot Custom
Per-User Monthly Cost
$5–$20 per user/month
$0 forever
Custom UI / Workflows
❌ Limited to platform
✓ Anything you can imagine
AI Integration (GPT-4, Claude)
❌ AI Builder only · shallow
✓ Native LLM integration
Real-Time Data Sync
Slow · 5–30 sec lag
✓ Sub-second via WebSockets
You Own the Code

Power Apps is rented.

RedDot is owned.

If you're paying Microsoft $20k+/yr in licensing — you've already paid for a custom build twice over.

What 'Internal Apps' Actually Means

Real apps we've built (or build regularly) for our clients — across every department of the business.

Approval Workflows

FINANCE · OPS

Purchase orders, leave requests, expense claims, travel approvals — with AI first-pass review and auto-routing.

Field Ops Apps

SALES · SERVICE

Mobile apps for field teams — site visits, daily reports, photo uploads, GPS tagging, offline-first.

Internal CRM

SALES · ACCOUNT MGMT

Custom-fit to your sales process. Pipeline, contacts, activity logs — without paying Salesforce per user.

Admin Dashboards

MANAGEMENT

Real-time KPIs, drill-downs, alerts. Pulls from your systems and shows what matters — without Tableau licensing.

Inventory & Assets

WAREHOUSE · IT

Track stock, equipment, devices, vehicles. Barcode scanning, multi-location, AI-flagged anomalies.

HR & Onboarding

PEOPLE OPS

New hire workflows, document collection, training tracking, performance reviews — without paying BambooHR per seat.

Vendor Portals

PROCUREMENT

Vendor self-service portals. They submit invoices, track payments, update info — your team approves with AI flagging.

Internal Wikis

ALL DEPARTMENTS

AI-powered internal search across docs, SOPs, policies. Your team asks questions; AI answers from your knowledge base.

WHAT POWER APPS CAN'T DO

AI-Native, Not AI-Bolted-On

Microsoft has 'AI Builder.' We have GPT-4, Claude, and custom models — wired directly into every app. This is the real reason to build custom in 2026.

AI First-Pass Review

AI reviews approval requests before humans see them. Flags duplicates, anomalies, missing info. Your team only handles the ones that actually need attention.

Document Intelligence

Upload an invoice, contract, or form. AI extracts structured data, validates against your rules, populates the database. No manual entry.

Ask Your Data Anything

Team types questions in plain English. AI translates to database queries and returns answers. No more BI dashboards nobody uses.

Smart Notifications

AI decides what's worth notifying about. Not every status change — just the ones that matter. Cuts notification noise by 80%.

Automated Drafting

AI drafts reports, summaries, customer responses, vendor emails. Humans review and send. Hours saved every day.

Predictive Flags

AI predicts stockouts, overdue invoices, at-risk customers, expiring contracts. Acts before the problem hits.

This is what 'AI-native' actually means. Not a chatbot in the corner. Not 'AI Builder' generating one formula. The same AI that writes code can run your business workflows — when wired in properly.

How We Build Internal Apps

Same engineering rigor as our customer-facing builds. Modern stack, modular architecture, full source code ownership from day one.

PRINCIPLE 1

Modern Stack, No Lock-In

React + Node.js + PostgreSQL on AWS or Google Cloud. Mainstream tech any developer can pick up. No proprietary platform you'd have to migrate off later.

PRINCIPLE 2

Modular by Design

Each app is a self-contained module. Need a new approval flow? We add it. Want to retire an old one? Drop it. No fighting the platform.

PRINCIPLE 3

AI Is the Foundation

We architect every app assuming AI will run on it. Database structure, event triggers, prompt templates — built in from day one. Adding AI later means rewriting.

Is This For You?

Great Fit

Companies that have outgrown spreadsheets, hit the Power Apps wall, or want AI built into their internal tools.

  • Mid-size companies (50–500 staff) on Power Apps with growing license costs
  • Teams whose workflows have outgrown what Power Apps can handle
  • Operations teams drowning in approval emails and spreadsheet trackers
  • Companies that want AI-augmented decision support, not just chatbots
  • Brands with custom workflows no SaaS tool fits cleanly

If you're paying Microsoft per user just to access internal apps — this is for you.

Not the Right Fit

We're honest about when custom internal apps aren't the answer.

  • Teams under 20 people (Power Apps free tier may still fit)
  • Workflows that fit perfectly into off-the-shelf SaaS (Asana, Notion, Monday)
  • Companies needing desktop RPA / scheduled batch jobs (use Power Automate)
  • Teams without budget for $6K+ custom builds

Use Power Apps where Power Apps works. Use custom where the wall has hit.

Live in 14 Days. Owned Forever.

We scope, build, and ship one app per sprint. Most internal apps go live within 14 days of the discovery call.

STEP 1 · DAY 1

Discovery Call

30-min call. We learn the workflow, the team, the pain points. Then we propose architecture and confirm it's buildable in 14 days.

STEP 2 · DAY 2–12

We Build the App

Custom app built on your stack. Working version by day 7. Iteration with your team through day 12.

STEP 3 · DAY 13–14

Deploy & Train

App goes live in your environment. 30-min team training. Source code handed over. You decide if you continue for the next app.

You only pay when your team is using it.

If the app doesn't fit how your team actually works — you walk away. Zero invoice. Source code stays with us.

Honest Answers About Internal Apps

The questions every Power Apps escapee asks.

Power Apps is rented per-user, capped in customization, and locked to Microsoft's ecosystem. We build custom apps you own outright — your code, your cloud, no per-user fees, and no AI ceiling. The other big difference: we treat AI as the foundation, not an add-on.
