The honest comparison.
Adalo builds native-feeling mobile apps on a visual canvas. Tadabase AI ships installable PWAs and full web apps from a prompt, on a backend built for real businesses.
A mobile canvas
or an app from a prompt.
Adalo is a friendly visual builder for mobile apps. You drag screens and components, use its database, and publish to the app stores. It is approachable, and good for simple consumer-style mobile apps — though complex logic and larger datasets can get slow on its runtime.
Tadabase AI generates installable PWAs and full web apps by conversation, on Tadabase. You get a real relational database, workflows, PDFs, file uploads, role-based access, and front-end AI for your users — and the output is real React you own. PWAs install on iOS, Android, and desktop, with offline cache and a write queue.
When to pick which. Pick Adalo if you specifically need a simple app-store mobile app and a drag-and-drop canvas. Pick Tadabase AI if you want a fast installable app plus a serious backend, exportable code, and AI inside the app.

The part Adalo can't match.
Generating the screens is table stakes now. What you ship on top — real AI for your end-users, agents that act, and security that holds up — is where Tadabase AI is built differently.
Your users ask. The app answers.
End-users type a question in plain English — "show me overdue invoices this month" — and get a real answer as a table, chart, or number, pulled live from your data and scoped to exactly what that user is allowed to see.
Insights, not just dashboards.
Analyze reads the numbers your users already pulled and writes the takeaway — trends, outliers, what changed since last week — grounded in the real records, never made up.
Agents that take action.
Put an AI agent inside your app to qualify leads, triage tickets, or send follow-ups. It reads, plans, and acts through your workflows — and pauses for human approval before anything high-stakes. Every action is logged.
Security as a default.
Row-level security carried by JWT all the way to the backend, 2FA, SSO and SAML, full audit logs, and a pre-deploy security pass that catches committed secrets and missing auth before you publish.
Ready for regulated work.
HIPAA-eligible plans for healthcare, controls built to SOC 2 guidelines (not independently audited), encryption in transit and at rest, per-tenant container isolation, and a DPA on request — GDPR and CCPA aligned.
A real backend, included.
Database with relationships, authentication, visual workflows, PDF generation, file uploads, schedules, and webhooks ship with your first deploy — powered by Tadabase, already running real businesses for years. Nothing to wire up.
