Adalo vs Make (formerly Integromat)

An in-depth head to head comparison

In this article, read a side-by-side comparison between two no-code tools: Adalo and Make (formerly Integromat). We'll compare pricing, the benefits, the drawbacks, give examples of what you can and can't build, as well as our overall recommendation.

Pricing

Adalo pricing

  • Free plan with unlimited apps, an Adalo domain and Adalo branding, with up to 50 rows of data
  • $50/month - $200/month for custom domains, publishing to Apple and Google Stores, connecting to external data collections, custom actions, and additional data storage

Make (formerly Integromat) pricing

  • Free plan with up to 1,000 operations per month
  • $9/month for 10,000 operations per month
  • $29/month - $299/month for additional operations and data transfer limits

Benefits

Adalo benefits

  • Can build native apps that can be downloaded in app store
  • Can also build desktop apps
  • In-app purchases
  • Can build just about any app experience
  • Can connect to APIs

Make (formerly Integromat) benefits

  • Run automations to connect thousands of apps
  • Can easily run apps on a trigger or as one-time workflows
  • Visual editor
  • Can create very complex workflows
  • Can make API calls
  • Build error handling into workflows
  • More affordable than Zapier

Drawbacks

Adalo drawbacks

  • Higher learning curve
  • Seems to be going through some growing pains. I’ve noticed published apps run a bit slower than I’d like.

Make (formerly Integromat) drawbacks

  • Higher learning curve than Zapier
  • Less app integrations than Zapier

What you can build

Adalo use-cases

  • MVP versions of mobile apps like Tinder and Zillow
  • Desktop apps
  • Apps with user accounts and complex logic
  • Complex apps that require API connections
  • Publish apps to the app store

Make (formerly Integromat) use-cases

  • Automations that connect different apps together
  • Complex workflows with API calls and error handling

What you can't build

What you can't build with Adalo

  • Desktop web apps (check out Bubble)

What you can't build with Make (formerly Integromat)

  • May not be able to connect to the tool you need (Zapier has more connections)

Overall Recommendation

Adalo recommendation

Adalo is best for building mobile apps that require one of the following: being published in an app store, in-app purchases, or connection with APIs.

In most other cases, I'd suggest Glide as it's easier to use and runs faster for end-users.

Make (formerly Integromat) recommendation

Make's biggest competitor is Zapier, and vice-versa. Both are great tools, and I use both depending on the use-case.

I find Zapier easier to use, so for simple automations I tend to use Zapier.

Zapier also has more integrations, so I'll use Zapier if the app I'm looking for isn't integrated with Make.

In general, Make is more powerful and less expensive, so I recommend people start with Zapier, and move over to Make when they are ready for something more powerful but with a higher learning curve.
