David wanted to build a mobile app for a product idea but couldn't code and found that all the no-code tools either made websites or created app-like web pages that couldn't be submitted to app stores.
Founded in 2018, launched publicly in 2019, and became a go-to choice for non-technical founders building marketplace and directory apps for iOS and Android.
First paying users were entrepreneurs who had been quoted $30,000+ for native app development and built their MVP on Adalo for $50/month instead.
Adalo filled the gap left by every other no-code tool — giving non-technical founders a real path to the App Store without writing Swift or Kotlin.
Every great app idea should be buildable by the person who had the idea — without their success depending on their ability to code or fund a development team.
