Adalo vs AppGyver: comparing the two no-code app builders
Adalo vs AppGyver looks different today than it did a few years ago. Adalo still operates as an independent no-code app builder, while AppGyver has been discontinued as a standalone product and now lives inside SAP’s Build Apps offering.
Here’s what each tool actually is, what’s verifiably known about pricing, and where a separate category of tool, Sticklight, fits if you’re building production-ready output.
- Adalo is an independent no-code platform for building native mobile apps and web apps, publishing directly to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
- Adalo’s published plans are Free at $0 per month, Starter at $36 per month billed annually, Professional at $52 per month billed annually, and Team at $160 per month billed annually, plus a separate custom-priced Adalo Blue tier for enterprise needs.
- AppGyver no longer exists as a standalone brand. Its technology now operates as SAP Build Apps, part of the wider SAP Build suite.
- Current SAP Build Apps pricing could not be independently confirmed from an official pricing page in this review, so exact figures should be checked on SAP’s site.
- Sticklight is a different category of tool: a vibe-coding platform that turns a prompt into production-ready websites, apps, dashboards, CMS, and internal tools, built by the Elementor team and additive to a WordPress or Elementor stack.
What Adalo is built for
Adalo is a drag-and-drop, no-code platform for building native mobile and web applications. The editor lets you assemble app screens and components visually, backed by a built-in database for app data. On the Free plan, that database caps out at 500 records. Adalo publishes apps as real iOS and Android app-store submissions in addition to web apps, and the Starter plan is the entry point specifically for publishing to app stores.
Pricing is flat and plan-based rather than usage-based, with no per-action or per-record charges according to Adalo’s official pricing page. The Professional plan adds capacity aimed at small and medium business use, and the Team plan supports multiple editors and multiple apps, which points it at agencies and freelancers managing several projects at once. A separate, custom-priced Adalo Blue tier sits on top of the published plans for enterprise requirements.
What happened to AppGyver
AppGyver started as a standalone visual, no-code and low-code builder for web and mobile apps. That independent product has since been discontinued: appgyver.com now positions the offering as SAP Build, and SAP Build Apps itself is being folded into a unified SAP Build packaging and pricing model, per SAP’s own community announcements. Existing AppGyver and SAP Build Apps customers keep access for the duration of their current contracts, according to those same SAP community posts.
As SAP Build Apps, the product remains a visual, no-code and low-code builder for web and mobile apps, and current SAP marketing describes it as including cloud functions for backend logic, plus integration into the wider SAP Business Technology Platform. SAP’s own materials also reference an entry-level Community edition of Build Apps. The official SAP pricing page wasn’t accessible directly during this review (it returned an access-restricted response), so exact current pricing and the precise terms of that entry edition aren’t independently confirmed here. For current figures, check their site directly rather than relying on third-party reporting.

Where Sticklight fits for professional creators
Adalo and AppGyver both sit in the no-code and low-code app-builder space, aimed at people assembling apps visually. Sticklight is a different kind of tool built for professional web creators, with a flow of prompt, build, publish: a prompt turns into production-ready output, and that output gets published as part of the same flow instead of requiring a separate step.
What sets Sticklight apart is the breadth of what a single prompt can produce, not just an app screen, but full websites, apps, dashboards, CMS setups, and internal tools. It’s built by the Elementor team and designed to be additive to an existing WordPress or Elementor workflow, working alongside those tools rather than replacing them. Agents are on Sticklight’s roadmap, coming soon, not something available today. If you’ve outgrown a single-purpose app builder and want one prompt to produce a fuller, production-ready result, that combination is the practical differentiator, stated plainly rather than as a sales pitch.
What separates a working tool from a portfolio piece is whether someone outside the project actually opened it and used it once.

No. AppGyver has been discontinued as an independent brand. Its technology now operates as SAP Build Apps, part of the broader SAP Build suite, and existing customers keep access for the length of their current contracts, per SAP’s own community posts.
How much does Adalo cost?
Adalo’s published plans, per its official pricing page, are Free at $0 per month, Starter at $36 per month billed annually, Professional at $52 per month billed annually, and Team at $160 per month billed annually. A separate, custom-priced Adalo Blue tier is available for enterprise needs.
What does SAP Build Apps (formerly AppGyver) cost now?
Current, exact pricing wasn’t independently verifiable from an official SAP pricing page during this review. Check SAP’s site directly for up-to-date figures rather than relying on third-party estimates.
Is Sticklight a direct alternative to Adalo or AppGyver?
Not in the strict sense of a like-for-like app builder. Sticklight is a vibe-coding platform aimed at producing full-stack, production-ready output, including but not limited to apps, and it’s designed to work alongside a WordPress or Elementor setup rather than compete purely as another app-builder plan.
Which tool should a professional creator start with?
It depends on the scope of the project. Adalo suits teams focused specifically on shipping a native mobile app to the app stores. SAP Build Apps suits organizations already inside the SAP ecosystem. Sticklight fits creators who want one prompt to produce a broader, production-ready result, publish included, on top of an existing WordPress or Elementor stack.
