Adalo

Adalo is a visual no-code app builder designed for non-technical founders, entrepreneurs, and small teams who want to ship native mobile and web apps without writing code. Builders work on a multi-screen canvas that displays every screen simultaneously, making it easy to visualize an app's full navigation architecture while designing it.

The platform includes a built-in relational database called Collections — structured like a spreadsheet, requiring no SQL knowledge — and connects user actions to logic through a point-and-click visual editor. From a single Adalo project, apps compile and publish to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and the web as a PWA simultaneously. The iOS and Android output is a genuine React Native binary compiled through Codemagic infrastructure — not a WebView wrapper — giving apps access to device-level APIs: push notifications, camera, geolocation, and native UI components.

Adalo 3.0, released in late 2025, overhauled the backend infrastructure with a reported 3–4x performance improvement, removed database record limits on paid plans, and eliminated usage-based overage charges. The architecture was redesigned to support apps at 1 million+ monthly active users.

In March 2026, Adalo launched Ada, its unified AI building experience. Magic Start generates a complete multi-screen app — including database tables, screen layouts, and navigation flows — from a plain-language description in seconds. Magic Add extends an existing app by accepting a natural-language description of a new feature and integrating it into the project. The platform also includes X-Ray, a performance auditing tool that identifies bottlenecks in live apps and recommends specific optimizations.

Adalo is cloud-hosted with no self-hosting option. Code export is not available on standard plans — projects and data remain within the platform.
