Adalo Features – What You Get?

Adalo is a no-code platform that lets you build native mobile and web apps with a drag-and-drop visual editor, no programming required.

Here are the standout features you get with Adalo:

• Drag-and-Drop App Builder: Design fully functional iOS, Android, and web apps visually without writing a single line of code.
• Native App Publishing: Publish real native apps directly to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store from inside Adalo.
• Built-In Database: Create and manage your app data with a built-in collections database, no external setup needed.
• Pre-Built Components: Use ready-made UI components like lists, forms, maps, and image carousels to speed up development.
• Custom Actions & Logic: Add conditional logic, linking, and multi-step actions to create dynamic, interactive app flows.
• External API Integrations: Connect to third-party services and external data sources through custom API integrations.
• User Authentication: Add login, sign-up, and user-specific data with built-in authentication out of the box.
• Marketplace Components: Extend your app with premium components and integrations from the Adalo component marketplace.
• Responsive Web Apps: Build progressive web apps that adapt to any screen size alongside your mobile builds.
• Templates & Cloneable Apps: Start fast with ready-made app templates you can customize to your own needs.

• True no-code native app builder — ship to iOS App Store, Google Play, and the web from one project
• Visual drag-and-drop canvas with multi-screen flow view and instant preview
• Built-in database (Adalo Collections) with user auth, roles, and list filtering out of the box
• Native push notifications, geolocation, image uploads, and in-app payments via Stripe
• Custom Actions + Zapier and public API integrations for connecting external services
• Component Marketplace with free and paid third-party UI blocks to extend the editor
• Free plan for building and previewing; 7-day money-back guarantee on paid tiers
• Active YouTube community, Adalo University courses, and responsive Forum support
• App publishing to iOS/Android requires a paid plan and Apple/Google developer accounts
• Complex logic and offline-first apps can hit the no-code performance ceiling
• Some G2 reviewers note slower load times on data-heavy screens and limited offline caching

Adalo uses flat, predictable pricing with no usage-based or per-action charges, and Ada (its AI assistant) is included on every plan. Annual billing saves about 20% versus monthly. Prices below are from Adalo's official site (annual plans may show a further regional discount).

• Free: $0 — 500 records per app, unlimited screens, unlimited test apps, 1 app editor, hosted Postgres database, and the Ada AI assistant
• Starter: $36/month (billed annually) — 1 published app, 1 editor, custom domain, custom fonts, web publishing, automated app-store publishing, and no Adalo branding
• Professional: $52/month (billed annually) — 2 published apps, 5 editors, custom integrations, custom app actions, app analytics, push notifications, and geolocation
• Team: $160/month (billed annually) — 5 published apps, 10 editors, priority support, Xano integration, App & Collections API, version history, and white labeling
• Adalo Blue: Custom enterprise pricing — dedicated infrastructure, on-premise deployment, and connections to any data source

Publishing to the app stores also requires an Apple Developer account ($99/year) and a Google Play account ($25 one-time), as required by Apple and Google. Publishing to iOS uses your own Apple Developer account.
