The best Adalo alternative for native mobile apps
Adalo's drag-and-drop builder is limited in customization and performance. Bilt generates real native mobile apps from a single prompt — faster, more flexible, and with production-ready code you actually own.
AI-powered, not drag-and-drop
What Bilt does that Adalo can't
True native performance
Adalo apps run as hybrid webview containers with noticeable lag. Bilt generates real React Native code that compiles to native binaries — delivering smooth 60fps performance your users expect.
Own your code
Adalo locks you into their platform with no code export. Bilt generates clean, readable React Native code you can push to GitHub, customize, and deploy independently.
Unlimited customization
Adalo limits you to pre-built components and marketplace add-ons. Bilt's AI generates custom components for any design — no compromising your vision to fit a template.
AI-first development
Adalo still relies on manual drag-and-drop building. Bilt uses AI to generate your entire app from a description — navigation, screens, backend, and styling included.
Voice input & real-time collaboration
We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.

A modern ecosystem Adalo can't match
GitHub integration
Push your generated React Native code to GitHub and manage your project with standard version control — something Adalo's closed platform doesn't support.
Shareable previews
Share live app previews with teammates, stakeholders, or clients via link — no installs or accounts required.
QR code testing
Scan a QR code to instantly test your app on a real device. Go from prompt to phone in minutes — faster than Adalo's preview flow.
Instant backend as a service
Spin up APIs, databases, and authentication in seconds — no Adalo collections or third-party integrations to configure.
