Azure Mobile Apps vs Mobile Service

I understand there are 2 options when working with mobile apps on Azure.

There is Mobile Services and App service.

Can you explain what are the difference and the architecture of each one ?

Thanks

I stumbled on this post while asking myself this same question, and figured I'd post links to the documentation that helped me here: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/learning-paths/… docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-mobile/… – wakers01

Mobile Services is now folded in as Mobile Apps in App Service. You should start using Mobile Apps instead of Mobile Services

Mobile Apps is the new version of Mobile Services. But beware, most of the documentation you will find at this present date is for the older version. Some of the features like the Node.js backend is very poorly documented for Mobile Apps.
