Adalo is a visual no-code app builder powered by Ada (AI) and a multi-screen drag-and-drop canvas that lets entrepreneurs and teams design, build, preview, and publish production-ready native iOS, Android, and web apps — with a built-in Postgres database, components marketplace, external integrations, and no usage-based charges.
Adalo: The Visual No-Code AI App Builder
Adalo is the visual no-code AI app builder that lets you design, build, and publish native iOS, Android, and web apps from a single project. Powered by AI and a multi-screen canvas, you can create production-ready apps without writing code or hiring developers.
Why Adalo
- True native outputs: publish IPA for iOS and APK for Android, plus web apps, all from one project.
- One publishing flow: push to Apple App Store, Google Play, and custom domains with a single build.
- AI-assisted design: Ada, Adalo’s AI assistant, builds and edits your app from natural language prompts and visual interactions. Ada is included in all plans.
- Fast, predictable pricing: flat monthly plans with no usage-based charges.
Key Features
- Visual Multi-Screen Canvas: see every screen at once and arrange components with drag-and-drop. What you see is what you ship.
- Ada AI Builder: generate, refine, and modify your app through natural language prompts, then point at elements on the canvas to fine-tune visuals.
- Built-in Database and External Data: use Adalo’s hosted Postgres database, or connect to external data sources such as Airtable, Google Sheets, Excel, Make, Zapier, and Xano. If you have no data, Ada can create and host a database for you.
- 200+ Components: a rich library of drag-and-drop building blocks to power your app’s UI and functionality.
- Data & Logic: relational data modeling, basic actions (create, update, delete, link), custom formulas, and and/or logic for advanced workflows.
- Geolocation & Maps: add location-aware features and search capabilities to location-driven apps.
- In-App Purchases & Payments: integrate Stripe or IAPHub for monetization.
- Integrations & API: REST API access, Zapier, Make, and native connections to popular services.
- Publishing & Web Publishing Controls: publish to custom domains and manage when changes go live for web apps.
- Templates & Use Cases: 19 ready-to-go solution templates (CRM, marketplace, eCommerce, booking, delivery, fitness, healthcare, education, real estate, restaurant, social, internal tools, and more).
Data, Integrations, and Growth
- Data flexibility: keep data in Adalo, or link to external databases; Ada can generate and host a database if needed.
- Integrations: connect to thousands of tools via Zapier, Make, and REST APIs; include Maps, Sheets, Airtable, Firebase, Stripe, HubSpot, Mailchimp, QuickBooks, and more.
- Scale your product: Adalo’s infrastructure is designed to handle growing apps, with large user bases and high data demand, while maintaining a smooth development experience.
Plans, Pricing, and What’s Included
- Free forever plan: unlimited screens, unlimited test apps, 500 records per app, Ada included.
- Starter: competitive pricing with publishing to web and app stores; access to Ada, custom fonts, domain publishing, and more.
- Professional and Team: additional editors, more published apps, integrations, analytics, and collaboration features.
- No per-user or per-action charges: predictable monthly pricing, with publishing costs covering the app stores; separate Apple/Google developer accounts are required for store publishing.
Use Cases
- CRM, marketplaces, booking systems, health & fitness apps, education platforms, internal tools, staffing portals, property management, food ordering, eCommerce, community apps, and more.
- Ideal for founders, product teams, freelancers, and small to large organizations wanting rapid, production-ready apps without code.
Tiered
I was skeptical about no-code but Bubble proved me wrong. I built a B2B client portal with complex permissions, Stripe billing, and real-time notifications. The learning curve is real — give yourself 2–3 weeks — but once it clicks, you're unstoppable. Performance has been solid at our scale.
Coming from Webflow, Bubble felt overwhelming at first. The editor UX isn't as polished, and performance on complex apps can feel sluggish. That said, nothing else lets you build a full database-driven app without code. The community forums are excellent — almost every problem has been solved by someone.
Used Bubble to ship our MVP in 6 weeks, which was genuinely impressive. But once we needed real capacity, the jump from Growth to Team ($29 to $529/mo) was brutal for a bootstrapped startup. The server unit model is also confusing to reason about. Would love a mid-tier option.
Real apps built with Bubble by the community. Click any card to see full details.
Bubble now suggests the next workflow action based on your current logic using an embedded AI assistant — dramatically speeds up building complex multi-step flows.
Completely redesigned responsive layout system with per-breakpoint controls. Existing apps auto-migrate with one-click. Mobile apps now build 3× faster.
Team plan subscribers can now create development branches, make changes in isolation, and merge them back — similar to Git branching. Long requested by professional teams.
Fixed significant performance degradation on apps with 1M+ rows caused by query planner regression. Apps now load 40–60% faster under heavy data loads.
Rebuilt plugin API with TypeScript support, better error handling, and a new sandbox testing environment. Developer documentation fully rewritten.
