Review Adalo✨?

Reviewers broadly agree that Adalo is easy to learn and fast for simple apps, prototypes, and personal tools, especially for non-technical users who value drag-and-drop building and app-store publishing. But the praise turns cautious once projects grow: repeated complaints cite poor performance at scale, builder lag, brittle workflows, limited debugging, missing advanced features, and weak support. Pricing and plan changes are another major sore point, with some users feeling locked in or pushed to upgrade. In short, reviewers see it as useful for small launches, risky for serious products.

Adalo stands out for its remarkable simplicity, making it an excellent choice for quickly creating amateur proof-of-concept projects. Its user-friendly interface allows for the seamless design and development of applications without the need for extensive coding knowledge. However, its pricing system and the lack of access to the underlying code significantly hinder its potential for more serious, stable application development. These limitations are a major drawback for anyone looking to build a more robust and scalable app. As such, despite its ease of use, I find myself compelled to rate it only two stars. For hobbyists or those looking to rapidly prototype an idea, Adalo might be the ideal solution. Yet, for developers aiming to create a stable and scalable application, Adalo falls short of expectations.

We used to love Adalo for its ease of use and ability to publish to app stores, but after 3 years of waiting to see more updates and changes while paying, we realize it may be time to move on for the following reasons: 1. Poor customer service and tech support - Cold and unappreciative, if you can get a response out of them at all. They treat their users like just another statistic on their monthly reports, rather than actual humans. 2. Unfair pricing - Adalo is coercing their users into signing up for their new plan even before their pre-paid legacy plans have expired. Adalo refused to refund us the unused portion (75%) of our legacy plan and locked us out of our workspace before our plan expired so that we cannot access our own IP. We have had to report them to Consumer Protection Agencies as a result of these hostile measures by Adalo. 3. Unfixable, unidentifiable bugs - You can't use a debugger, and even after spending thousands on hiring an Adalo expert to help, new issues would arise on portions of the app that did not have any issues before. Very disappointed with how Adalo is treating its early adopters, who once used to be evangelists for them. We regret having been their early supporters and paid anything to use their platform at all.

Congratulations with the launch and good luck! I have some my slightly negative comments as one of your paid users. DIRECT XANO INTEGRATION requires you to be on team plan which costs 200 USD/month. Their most popular package is Professional plan -65 USD- (their claim on their pricing page) which does not have Xano integration. Basically even if you have already access to Xano for your other projects you still need to to spend 3X to be able to use Xano for external users. I wish they also had address some critical issues such as app wide variables, enums for dropdown choices etc.
