Introduction

Microsoft announced general availability on 25th May 2021 and with that new question also took birth - Which one to choose between Logic App consumption and Logic App Standard?

Technically both will be used to create workflows, however there are differences and based on the differences, the scenarios in which they should be opted for can be deduced.

Below is comparison around few features.

Logic App Consumption vs Logic App Standard

Features	Logic App Consumption	Logic App Standard
Tenancy	Multi-Tenant	Single Tenant
Relation between Logic App and Workflow	1-1 relationship. One Logic app can have only one Workflow	1-Many relationships. One Logic app can have many Workflow
Integration Account	Is required for uploading schemas, maps, agreements etc.	No dependency on Integration Account for uploading schemas, maps, agreements etc.
Where it can be Run	Only in Azure	Can be run anywhere - Azure, Any cloud, Containers and also on premise(with help of Azure Arc)
External Storage	Storage is taken care implicitly	External storage has to be specified either Azure Storage or Azure Storage and SQL.
Supported Workflow	Only supports stateful workflows	Supports both stateful and stateless workflows
Local Development and testing	Only development, testing not supported locally	Development and testing can be done locally
Costing	Logic Apps Consumption use a pay as you go approach If using ISE then its at Flat cost	Logic Apps Standard doesn’t use a pay as you go approach, rather works on a flat monthly fee
Where does data reside	It is managed, so data location is not fixed. If using ISE then data stays in the same region where you deploy your logic apps	Data stays in the same region where you deploy your logic apps
What can be used for development	Azure Portal, Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Code	Azure Portal and Visual Studio Code
Vnet Integration	Does not support	It supports Vnet Integration and private endpoints
Importing in APIM	Can be imported directly	The functionality to directly import from “Create from Azure Resource” is not available for workflows in Logic App (Standard) yet.  However, it can be added.

Summary

Based on the comparison, following scenarios can be derived

• Need to run workflow any where - Logic App Standard
• Low volume of transactions - Logic App Consumption
• Need to run workflow within network - Logic App Standard or ISE
• Need to adhere to data storage policies of government/company etc - Logic App Standard or ISE
• Need to run stateless workflow - Logic App Standard
