Adalo targets makers who want a real app in the App Store and Google Play without learning a complex tool. Its AI builder, Ada, drafts screens and logic, and you refine them in a visual editor with Stripe payments, maps, push notifications, custom fonts and geolocation. The pitch is predictable cost: Adalo promises no usage-based charges and flat pricing. The Free plan lets you build unlimited test apps with 500 records per app. Builder costs $65 a month, with a first month at $30 on monthly billing, or $624 billed yearly, and adds 2 published apps, custom domains and 5 editors. Business at $200 a month adds 5 published apps, unlimited instant updates, the Collections API and external databases, and shows all of Ada's code. The weakness is value at the low end: $65 for 2 apps is more than FlutterFlow or Thunkable charge, and analytics are an add-on on Builder.
