The Verdict
Adalo is built for entrepreneurs and small businesses, with a focus on drag-and-drop-builder and native-apps. Make targets power users and agencies and leads with scenarios and modules.
On pricing, Make is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $10.59/mo compared to $45/mo for Adalo. That $34.41/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Make edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Feature-wise, Adalo offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Make takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Both tools are a solid fit for small businesses — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Make has a slight overall edge — but if publish native ios and android apps from one codebase matters most to you, Adalo may still be the right call.
