On the face of it, there's a simple explanation of what a single-tenant or a multi-tenant application is. We can say that single-tenant apps are only available in the tenant they were registered.

- Single-tenant applications are primarily used if you want to isolate your application from everyone and provide access only to your internal users
- Multi-tenant applications are used when you want to provide the app to your internal staff, guest users, and Microsoft personal account users in a collaboration scenario, for example
