 ## Compare Azure Logic Apps and Microsoft Power Automate
 
-These services are both *designer-first* integration platforms where you can build and run automated workflows. Both platforms integrate with various Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and enterprise applications. Both provide similar workflow designers, and while [their connectors share some overlap](/connectors/connector-reference/), each platform also offers their own unique connectors.

Both provide similar workflow designers, and while [their connectors share some overlap](/connectors/connector-reference/), each platform also offers their own unique connectors.
 
 Power Automate empowers business users, office workers, and citizen developers to build simple integrations without having to work with IT or developers or to write code. One example might be an approval workflow for a SharePoint document library. Azure Logic Apps supports integrations ranging from little-to-no-code scenarios to more advanced, codeful, and complex workflows. Examples include B2B processes or scenarios that require enterprise-level interactions with Azure DevOps. A business workflow can also grow from simple to complete over time.
 
 To help you determine whether you want to use Azure Logic Apps or Power Automate for a specific integration, see the [Capability comparison table](/azure/logic-apps/power-automate-migration#compare-capability-details).
 
 ## Compare Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps
 
-These Azure services enable you to build and run serverless workloads. Azure Functions is a serverless compute service, while Azure Logic Apps is a serverless workflow integration platform. Both can create complex *orchestrations*. An orchestration is a collection of functions, which are called *actions* in Azure Logic Apps, that you can run to complete a complex task. For example, to process a batch of orders, you might execute many instances of a function in parallel, wait for all instances to finish, and then execute a function that computes a result on the aggregate.
