Why choose Adalo over other app building solutions?

Three things make Adalo different: a visual canvas where you view all screens simultaneously on one canvas, the ability to visually direct the AI rather than relying on chat-only prompts, and a single version for web, iOS, and Android. As a visual AI platform for building apps for database-driven web, iOS, and Android apps, Adalo publishes directly to Apple's App Store and Google Play. Starting at $36/month with truly unlimited usage, Adalo is the most affordable way to publish native apps to the app stores.

What's the fastest way to build and publish an app to the App Store?

Adalo makes it straightforward: tell Magic Start what you want and it generates your database, screens, and user flows in minutes, view all your app's screens on a single visual canvas, test your app on any device in real time, and visually direct the AI to make changes. Adalo manages the app store submission for you, which means you can ship a native app to both stores in days rather than the months you'd spend with traditional development.

Can I easily enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on my Adalo account?

Yes, you can enable 2FA in minutes. Log in, click your avatar in the Builder window, select 'Setup 2FA,' scan the QR code with your preferred authentication app, and enter the code to complete setup.

Is two-factor authentication available on all Adalo subscription plans?

Yes, two-factor authentication is available to all Adalo users regardless of their subscription level. Every user can add this extra layer of protection at no additional cost.

What do I need to set up 2FA on my Adalo account?

You'll need a 2FA management app installed on your device, such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar authentication apps. Once ready, scan the QR code provided by Adalo and enter the generated authentication code.

How does enabling 2FA protect my Adalo apps and data?

Two-factor authentication requires a time-sensitive code from your authentication app in addition to your password. This protects your app projects, user data, and account from unauthorized access—even if your password is compromised.

How much does Adalo cost compared to other app builders?

Adalo's web and true-native mobile builder starts at $36/month with unlimited usage and app store publishing. Comparable features on Bubble start at $59/month with usage-based charges and record limits. Flutterflow starts at $70/month per user but doesn't include a database.

Can Adalo apps scale to handle large user bases securely?

Yes, Adalo's modular infrastructure scales to serve apps with millions of monthly active users. The 3.0 infrastructure overhaul in late 2026 delivered 3-4x faster performance with no upper ceiling on scale, maintaining both security and speed under load.

Why Adalo Prioritizes Your Account Security

Adalo is a no-code app builder for database-driven web apps and native iOS and Android apps—one version across all three platforms, published to the Apple App Store and Google Play. With apps handling sensitive user data across multiple platforms, robust security features like two-factor authentication (2FA) are essential for protecting both your account and your users' information.

Now, all Adalo users can add an extra layer of protection to their accounts with 2FA—regardless of their subscription level. This security enhancement ensures that your app projects and data remain safe, giving you peace of mind as you build and publish your applications.

How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication

All users regardless of subscription level now have the option to enable 2FA. The setup process takes just a few minutes and significantly strengthens your account security. To enable 2FA:

Login to your Adalo account and click your avatar at the top right of the Builder window.
Click Setup 2FA
Open your favorite 2FA management app and scan the QR code.
Enter the authentication code provided by your 2FA app.

Security That Scales With Your App

Account security is just one layer of protection. Adalo's infrastructure, completely overhauled with the 3.0 release in late 2026, delivers 3-4x faster performance and modular architecture that scales with your app's needs. This means your security measures remain effective whether you have 100 users or 1 million+ monthly active users.

Unlike platforms that rely on web wrappers for mobile apps, Adalo compiles to true native code. This purpose-built architecture not only performs better under load but also provides the security benefits inherent to native iOS and Android applications. With over 3 million apps created on the platform and no upper limits on database records for paid plans, Adalo handles production-scale security requirements without compromising performance.

Building Secure Apps Without Complexity

Security shouldn't require a dedicated development team. Adalo's AI-assisted features help you build secure applications faster. Magic Start generates complete app foundations from simple descriptions, including proper database structures that follow security best practices. Magic Add lets you add authentication flows and user management features through natural language requests.

For apps already in production, X-Ray identifies performance issues before they affect users—catching potential vulnerabilities that could emerge under increased load. This proactive approach to app health means security and performance work together rather than competing for attention.
