Adalo Vs Bubble

Build your app with the right tool for your needs — all without code.

Our goal is to help you find the right tool for the job 

We’ve never seen a comparison page where the company writing the comparison doesn’t come out looking the best. That’s not our goal. We want to help you make the best decision about the tool you will use to create your app.

We’re Biased, Not Ignorant
There are some cases where Bubble will make the most sense, and that’s okay. We want to show you where Adalo is a better fit.
Bang For Your Buck
We’re looking specifically at what’s possible in Adalo vs. Bubble & how much it will cost for that result.

3 Reasons to Choose Adalo Over Bubble

Lower Learning Curve

Over and over again, Adalo is touted as one of the easiest no-code platforms to build an app entirely without writing a single line of code. While no-code doesn’t mean no-learning-curve, Adalo’s easy-to-use interface helps even the most novice creators bring their app ideas to life.

Publish Your App to the App Stores

Adalo & Bubble both allow their makers to create apps for the web, however, Adalo has one more tool in its toolbelt. With Adalo, it’s possible to publish the same web app to the app stores! Each time you build an Adalo app, it’s like building 3 different apps — one on the web, one on iOS, and one an Android. When you choose Bubble, you’re only building & paying for your web app.

Build Visually

Adalo is unique in that you build your app entirely visually. This is particularly helpful because you can see exactly what you’re creating in real time. Oftentimes, the struggle with coding is that lines of text don’t translate well into design unless you know what you’re doing. That’s not a problem with Adalo because we, as humans, already experience apps visually.

When to Use Adalo vs Bubble

Bubble has its advantages, so let’s run through some of the times when it makes the most sense to use them versus us.

Adalo is Great For...

Creating business apps — both internal and external — with popular and well-known user experiences.
Building apps for mobile devices published to the app stores.
Small to medium-sized businesses.
Launching apps quickly!

Bubble is Great For...

Complex start-up ideas that have never been created before.
Those who enjoy the challenge of learning a new tool that’s as complex as coding.
People with a highly technical background.
Users with both the time and the bandwidth to create an app.
