The Adalo agency.Your app, live in the store.
Adalo publishes a real native iOS and Android app from one project, but a half-built editor stalls the moment real data shows up. We model your collections, build the screens and actions, wire your API with custom actions, and handle App Store and Play Store submission.

GeminiAn Adalo agency ships the app, not just a prototype.
Anyone can drag a few screens onto a canvas. Modeling the data so it holds up, wiring the actions and your API, and getting it approved in the stores is a different job. Here are the four things we own.
- App build
Your native app built on Adalo, not just mocked up
A clickable prototype isn't an app. We design the data model and collections, lay out the screens, wire the actions and forms, and ship a real native iOS and Android app on Adalo. We model your entities properly from day one (users, relationships, permissions) so the app doesn't fall apart the moment real data shows up. You get a working product your users can install, not a Figma file with a login button.

Collections and actions that match how your business works
The hard part of an Adalo app is the data, not the screens. We design your collections and relationships, set up the lists, filters and forms, and chain the actions so each tap does the right thing. Where Adalo's built-in logic runs out, we add custom actions and external collections so the app reads and writes your real backend instead of a toy database. The model is built to grow, not to demo.
See the method - Integrations
Wired to your stack, APIs and push notifications
An app that can't talk to your tools is a silo. We connect Adalo to your stack through custom actions and external collections (your API, Stripe, your CRM, your automation), set up push notifications so users come back, and add the marketplace components that save weeks. If a flow needs logic Adalo can't express, we offload it to an automation layer and keep the app clean. The point is one product, not five disconnected ones.

Submitted to the stores, and your team can run it
Building the app is half the job; getting it live and keeping it alive is the rest. We handle App Store and Google Play submission (the assets, the review back-and-forth, the gotchas that fail a first submission), then train your team to edit screens, manage collections and ship updates without us. We're an automation and AI agency first, so the app plugs into the workflows you already run.

We build Adalo apps like a product, not a demo.
Most Adalo projects stall the same way: screens dragged out before the data model exists, actions bolted on later, and the whole thing wobbles the first time real users and real records arrive. So we work backwards from the data: model the collections first, build the screens and actions on top, wire your API, and submit to the stores only when the flows hold up on a real device.
- Audit · map the app you actually need, and whether Adalo is the right fit
- Model · collections, relationships and roles built to grow, not to demo
- Build · screens, actions, integrations and push, scoped and tested
- Ship · App Store and Play Store submission, then your team takes over
We ship Adalo apps to the stores.
We don't sell a partner tier. We build real native apps on Adalo and get them through App Store and Google Play review, so we model the data the way it actually holds up: proper collections, custom actions where the built-in logic runs out, external collections to your API, and flows tested on a device. That's exactly what's missing when a project ends at a clickable prototype.
- We ship real Adalo apps to the stores, so we model the data the way it holds up, not the way a quick demo suggests.
- Honest scoping by default: we tell you up front when Adalo is the right call and when native code or another stack wins, before you commit a budget.
- You leave autonomous: the app, collections and actions live in your Adalo account, so your team can edit and extend it without us.
- No badge to sell. We're judged on whether your app ships, gets approved, and keeps running after we leave, not on a partner tier.
Adalo at the core, your data and stack around it.
We build the parts that turn a canvas into a real, connected app, then wire it to the tools you already run. Here's what a real Adalo build covers.
- Build
Data model & collections
We design the collections, relationships and user roles your app needs so the data holds up under real use, instead of a flat structure that breaks the first time two records relate to each other.
- Build
Screens, lists & forms
We lay out the screens, build the lists with filters and search, and wire the forms so creating and editing records feels native, not like a web page squeezed onto a phone.
- Build
Actions & custom actions
We chain Adalo actions so each tap does the right thing, and add custom actions to call your API when the built-in logic runs out, keeping the flows reliable rather than fragile.
- Build
External collections & API
We connect external collections and your API so the app reads and writes your real backend, not a copy of your data that drifts out of sync within a week.
- Build
Push notifications
We set up push notifications for the moments that bring users back (orders, messages, reminders), wired to the events that matter instead of spamming everyone on every change.
- Build
Store submission & marketplace
We handle App Store and Google Play submission end to end, use the marketplace components that save build time, and set the publishing pipeline so updates ship cleanly.
We scope the app you need, you leave with a plan.
Before quoting anything, we take 60 minutes to look at the app you want, the data behind it, and who uses it. You leave with an honest read on whether Adalo is the right fit, what to model first, and what it will take to get it into the stores. Zero pitch, just a builder's take on your product.

- The data model and integrations to wire first
- What store submission will actually involve
- A frank take on what Adalo won't do well
How we run an Adalo build.
Five steps, in order. We don't lay out screens before the data model exists, we don't submit to the stores before the flows hold up on a real device, and your team owns it at the end. Each step has a deliverable and you sign off before we move on.
- Step 1 · Product audit
Map the app you actually need
We sit down with you and pin down what the app has to do, who uses it, and what data sits behind it. We check whether Adalo is the right fit or whether a heavy real-time, offline-sync or high-scale requirement means another stack wins. Half the value is telling you that before you spend, so you don't build a native app on the wrong foundation and rebuild it in six months.
- Step 2 · Data model
Model the collections so the app holds up
We design your collections, relationships and user roles before touching a screen, because the data model is what makes or breaks an Adalo app. We map how records relate, set the permissions, and plan where external collections and your API plug in. You sign off on the model first, so the build doesn't hit a wall when real data and real users arrive.
- Step 3 · Build the app
Screens, actions and the flows that matter
We build the screens, lists and forms, chain the actions so each tap behaves, and add custom actions where Adalo's built-in logic runs out. We wire the integrations (your API, payments, automation), set up push notifications, and use the marketplace components that save time. Each flow is tested on a real device, not just clicked through in the editor.
- Step 4 · Integrate & connect
Connect it to your stack and your data
We connect the app to your real backend through external collections and custom actions, link it to your CRM, payments and automation, and make sure data flows both ways without drifting out of sync. Where a flow needs logic Adalo can't express, we offload it to an automation layer so the app stays clean and the heavy lifting happens where it belongs.
- Step 5 · Ship & hand over
Submit to the stores, then get out of the way
We handle App Store and Google Play submission, the assets and the review back-and-forth that fails a first try, and get the app live. Then we train your team to edit screens, manage collections and ship updates so you own it. If you want to go deeper, our no-code training covers Adalo end to end. If you want us on call for what scales next, we talk about that separately.
We're judged on the app that ships.
No partner badge to display, so we lead with what matters: feedback from the teams whose Adalo app we built and submitted, and whether it stayed live and editable after we left. Our Trustpilot reviews come from those teams, not from a marketing deck.
- The app, collections and actions live in your own Adalo account
- Data modeled to grow, tested on a real device before submission
- Integrations wired through custom actions and external collections
- Trustpilot reviews come from the teams we shipped apps for
The questions we get asked on repeat.
What does an Adalo agency actually do?
An Adalo agency designs and ships your native mobile app on Adalo, instead of leaving you with a half-built editor project. We model the collections and relationships, build the screens, lists and forms, wire the actions and custom actions, connect external collections and your API, set up push notifications, and handle App Store and Google Play submission. The point is a working app your users can install and your team can keep editing, not a prototype that stalls the first time real data shows up.How much does it cost to build an app with Adalo?
It depends on scope: a focused MVP with a handful of screens is nothing like a multi-role app wired to your API, payments and push notifications. We don't throw out a flat package. We start with a free 60-minute audit to scope the app you actually need, then quote a fixed scope. The Adalo subscription itself you pay Adalo directly; we set up the plan and publishing so your costs stay predictable as the app grows.Can Adalo build a real native iOS and Android app?
Yes. Adalo publishes native iOS and Android apps to the App Store and Google Play from one project, alongside a web app. We model the collections, build the screens and actions, wire the integrations through custom actions and external collections, and submit to both stores. It's a genuine native app your users install, not a website wrapped in an icon. We test the flows on a real device before submission so it behaves like an app, not a squeezed web page.When is Adalo NOT the right fit?
We'll tell you straight. Adalo is excellent for data-driven apps, MVPs, internal tools and marketplaces, but it's the wrong call for apps that lean on heavy real-time logic, complex offline sync, or large-scale performance where milliseconds and millions of records matter. If that's your case, native code or a different stack wins, and we'll say so at the audit instead of building you something you'll outgrow in months. Picking the right tool is part of the job.Can you connect Adalo to our API and existing tools?
Yes, that's where most of the real work sits. We use custom actions and external collections to connect Adalo to your API, your CRM, payments like Stripe, and your automation layer, so the app reads and writes your real backend instead of a disconnected copy. When a flow needs logic Adalo can't express on its own, we offload it to an automation layer and keep the app clean. The goal is one connected product, not an app that drifts out of sync with your data.Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes, end to end. We prepare the store assets, configure the build, and handle the review back-and-forth with Apple and Google, including the small things that fail a first submission (permissions, privacy details, metadata). Adalo publishes native builds to both stores from one project, so a single update can ship to web, iOS and Android. We get the app approved and live, then set up the publishing pipeline so your team can ship updates without us.Will we be locked in or can our team run the app?
Your team runs it. The app, collections, actions and integrations live in your own Adalo account, so nothing is hidden behind us. We train your team to edit screens, manage collections, and ship updates, and we document the data model and the custom actions so a new hire can pick it up. If you want to go deeper, our no-code training covers Adalo end to end so you can extend the app yourself.How long does it take to build and ship an Adalo app?
For a scoped MVP (clear data model, a defined set of screens and actions, one or two integrations), count a few weeks: audit and data model first, then build, then store submission. A multi-role app wired to your API, payments and push notifications runs longer. We split into batches so you get a working, testable app fast, rather than waiting on the whole scope before anyone touches it on a real device.
Stop staring at a prototype. Ship the app.
A 60-minute audit, your app scoped, a build plan with the data model and store submission baked in. If Adalo is the right fit, we build and ship it. If it isn't, we'll tell you and point you at what wins.
