What Is Adalo? Mobile App Builder Overview & Pricing

Overview

Adalo is a no-code builder for native mobile and web apps, designed around drag-and-drop screens and a built-in database, with an AI assistant called Ada^[3]. It targets non-technical users who want to publish to the app stores without learning development frameworks.

The Free plan includes unlimited test apps, one editor, 500 records per app, five Ada AI prompts a month and one free app build^[3]. Builder costs US$65 per month (with a US$30 first month for new users), US$175.50 per quarter or US$624 per year, and allows two published apps, five editors, unlimited AI prompts, one instant update a month and custom domains^[3]. Business costs US$200 per month or US$1,920 per year and adds five published apps, unlimited instant updates, ten editors, the Collections API and external databases^[3]. Quarterly billing saves 10% and yearly 20%^[3].

Both paid plans publish to the app stores and web; store publishing also requires an Apple Developer account at US$99 a year and a Google Play developer account at US$25 one-time^[3]. The record limits and the restriction of external databases to Business make Adalo better suited to smaller apps than to data-heavy products.
