The No Code AI App Builder for Native Mobile Apps

Adalo is a no code AI app builder. Describe your app and Ada, Adalo's AI builder, builds the screens, data, login and navigation for you — then you test it in a live preview, refine it, and publish to the Apple App Store, Google Play and the web from one project, without writing or maintaining any code.

Built for founders, business teams and agencies who want a real app in the stores, not a web prototype they have to hand to a developer.

What is a no code AI app builder?

Short answer: A no code AI app builder lets you create an app by describing it in plain language, then edit the result visually instead of in code. Adalo combines both: AI builds the first version, and you can change any screen, field or flow yourself, by asking Ada or editing it directly. You never have to write or debug code, and if you ever want to run it elsewhere, the Adalo team can provide your source code.

From a Description to a Published App in Five Steps

Here is how Ada takes you from an idea to a live app on the App Store and Google Play.

1. Describe your app to Ada. Name the app, who uses it, the important records and the main action — "a booking app for a hair salon where clients book stylists and staff confirm appointments." When something matters that Ada shouldn't guess, like who can see which data, Ada asks before it builds.
2. Ada builds the real app. Ada plans the screens, data, login and navigation, builds them, then checks its work and repairs anything incomplete. The first build can take several minutes — and the result is a working app, not a mockup.
3. Test it in the live preview. The app runs right beside the chat. Click through the whole journey, sign up and log in, and open it on your phone with a QR code.
4. Refine it — by asking or by editing. Ask for focused changes ("allow staff to cancel a booking"), ask how something works ("where is the price used?"), or switch to select mode and edit any title, button or card directly — for that element only, or everywhere. Every change is saved as a version you can restore.
5. Publish everywhere from one project. One project produces a web app, an Android build for Google Play, and an iOS build sent to TestFlight and prepared for App Store Connect. Many content and design updates reach installed apps without another store review.

If you can describe it, you can build it — and you can still change every detail yourself.

Why Teams Choose Adalo as Their No Code AI App Builder

Ada combines AI generation with a visual canvas — so you get the speed of AI with the control of a visual editor.

⚡ Ask, or edit directly. Describe changes to Ada in plain language, or select any element in the live preview and change its text, color, size or destination yourself. You're never stuck re-prompting for a small fix.

📲 True native apps. Your app compiles to native iOS and Android builds — not a web wrapper — with push notifications and a real App Store and Google Play listing.

🛡️ No code to maintain. AI tools that generate code leave you owning and debugging that code. With Adalo you change your app by asking Ada or editing it, never in code, and if you ever want your source code, contact our team (code export is a separate service).

🗄️ A database built in. Every app comes with a relational database, user login and role-based permissions. No Firebase or Supabase setup. Already have data? Connect Google Sheets with SheetBridge, or outside APIs with External Collections.

💰 Free to build, simple plans to publish. Build and test as many apps as you like on the free plan (500 records per app). Publishing to the App Store and Google Play starts with the Builder plan at $65/mo, or $52/mo billed yearly, and new Builders get 50% off their first 2 months. No surprise overages: add AI credits only if you need them.

🚀 Built to scale. Adalo apps run on new infrastructure built from the ground up, with a hosted Postgres database behind every app. Over 3 million apps have been created with Adalo.

How Adalo Compares to Other AI App Builders

Lovable, Bolt, v0 and Base44 are prompt-led web app builders — genuinely fast for web prototypes. FlutterFlow is a visual builder for developer teams. Adalo is the one built for native mobile apps without code.

Questions About No Code AI App Builders

What is a no code AI app builder?

A tool that builds an app from a plain-language description and lets you edit it visually, without writing code. Adalo's AI builder, Ada, builds the first version from your description; then you change any screen, field or flow by asking Ada or editing it directly, and publish native iOS and Android apps.

Should I use an AI app builder or a no-code app builder?

You don't have to choose. AI gets you a working first version in minutes; a no-code editor lets you finish it precisely. AI-only tools leave you prompting for every change or editing generated code, and classic no-code tools make you build every screen by hand. Adalo does both in one place.

Is there a free AI app builder?

Yes. You can build and test as many apps as you like on Adalo's free plan, with up to 500 records per app. Building with Ada uses AI credits. Publishing to the App Store and Google Play needs the Builder plan ($65/mo, or $52/mo billed yearly; new Builders get 50% off their first 2 months), plus Apple's $99/year developer account and Google's one-time $25 fee.

Can an AI app builder make an app for the App Store?

Adalo can. Apps built with Ada compile to native iOS (IPA) and Android builds — not web wrappers or PWAs — and you publish to the Apple App Store and Google Play directly from Adalo.

How is Adalo different from Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Base44?

Those are prompt-led web app builders: they generate code from a prompt, produce web apps, and leave you maintaining that code. Adalo produces native mobile apps plus web, includes a relational database, and needs no code maintenance (and the Adalo team can provide your source code if you ever need it), because you refine it by asking Ada or editing elements directly, never in code.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. If you can describe what your app should do, Ada can build it, and you can adjust anything by asking Ada or selecting it in the preview, without code, widget trees or a command line.

Does Ada include a database?

Yes. Ada sets up your app's own data — collections, fields, relationships and records — plus signup, login and rules for who can read or write each record. You can also connect Google Sheets through SheetBridge or outside APIs through External Collections.

Does building with Ada use credits?

Yes. Building with Ada uses AI credits, and you can add more credits without changing your plan. There are no surprise overages: you only add credits if you need them.

What can't Ada build?

Ada builds from Adalo's supported building blocks — lists, cards, charts, media, camera, maps, Stripe payments, push notifications, multiple languages and custom actions among them — and tells you when a request falls outside them. Apps that need real-time video calling, games with physics engines or direct Bluetooth hardware control are outside its current scope. Most database-driven business and consumer apps are a great fit.
