<p>I am wondering if anyone has tried both backend services to develope smart contracts? I am aware that <a href="https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-apps/tree/main/plutus-pab" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IOHK's PAB</a> is compatible only with Plutus whereas <a href="https://blockfrost.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Blockfrost's API</a> allows to use other programming languages to build the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2R3zl91U24&amp;t=233s" rel="nofollow noreferrer">off-chain part of dApps</a>.</p>
<p>Can someone share their experience with either option?</p>

I am wondering if anyone has tried both backend services to develope smart contracts? I am aware that [IOHK's PAB](https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-apps/tree/main/plutus-pab) is compatible only with Plutus whereas [Blockfrost's API](https://blockfrost.io/) allows to use other programming languages to build the [off-chain part of dApps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2R3zl91U24&t=233s).

Can someone share their experience with either option?
