Our assessment in one line
The kindest on-ramp in the index and no longer the right answer for most people. Adalo remains easy to learn and will genuinely get an app into the stores, but performance is poor at 3.0, scalability at 2.8 is among the lowest here, there is no code export, and FlutterFlow now does more for less commitment. It is still worth considering if a beginner needs to ship one small app and never touch it again. Everyone else should look at FlutterFlow or Rork first.
