AdaloReact Native (Expo or bare)

From Adalo to React Native — keep the listing, lose the ceiling.

We migrate Adalo apps to React Native preserving your bundle ID, App Store listing, reviews, and retention — while unlocking native performance, plugin freedom, and the end of per-user pricing.

Why this stack

What you get when you move Adalo to React Native (Expo or bare).

Same listing, faster app

We submit the React Native build to your existing App Store and Play Store entries. Reviews, ratings, and download history all carry over.

Native performance

Cold start drops from 4–6s to under 1.2s. 60fps animations. Battery drain disappears. None of this requires heroic optimisation.

Plugin freedom

Anything on npm is fair game — HealthKit, ARKit, MLKit, Stripe, RevenueCat, real Firebase, real OneSignal.

Real push

FCM and APNs configured properly: topic targeting, scheduled sends, deep links, deliverability you can debug.

No per-user fees

Adalo's per-user pricing scales with your success. RN runs on a flat infra bill. The bigger you get, the more you save.

The migration map

Adalo concept → React Native (Expo or bare) equivalent

The exact mental model we use during migration. If you're scoping internally, copy this table.

Adalo Screen
React Navigation Stack screen
Same component model — RN screens map to Adalo screens almost 1:1.
Component (UI)
React Native component
Tailwind via NativeWind keeps the styling close to web parity if you ship both.
Database collection
Postgres table or Firestore collection
Choose Postgres if you'll need joins; Firestore if you live offline-first.
Custom Action
Typed handler (function)
Most actions are 20–40 lines of TypeScript. SDKs replace Adalo's marketplace.
External Collection (API)
fetch or SDK call
First-class HTTP, retries, types, observability.
Push Notifications
FCM + APNs via Expo or RN Firebase
Topic targeting, scheduling, deep links — all native, no proxy.
In-app Purchases
RevenueCat
iOS + Android in one SDK with analytics Adalo never showed you.
User auth
Clerk / Auth0 / Firebase Auth
Social providers, MFA, passwordless — pick one and forget about it.
The 6-step process

Predictable. Auditable. Reversible.

1

Inventory & scope

Every screen, custom action, external collection, push, and IAP — captured in a 1-page architecture audit.

2

Data export & sync

Adalo CSV export → Postgres or Firestore. Idempotent loader keeps the new DB within 24 hours of production until cutover.

3

Screen parity sprint

Pixel-faithful screen-by-screen recreation in React Native. Visual diffs catch regressions before they ship.

4

Native primitives

Push, IAP, deep links, biometrics — first-class implementations replace Adalo's wrappers.

5

Beta channels

TestFlight and Internal Testing track. Side-by-side retention validation against the live Adalo app.

6

Store update, not new listing

Submit the RN build under the same bundle ID. Users get an update; reviews and ratings stay.

Estimates use median list pricing for the selected platform and median DigitalOcean / Vercel hosting for an equivalent code-based app, plus modest dev-ops time. Real numbers depend on usage, integrations, and compliance scope.

Workflow timeouts during peak loads and an upcoming SOC 2 audit that the no-code stack could not satisfy.

Frequently asked

AdaloReact Native (Expo or bare) questions

Will my App Store reviews and ratings carry over?+

Yes — we submit to the same bundle ID under your existing listing. Users see a normal update, reviews and ratings persist.

What about iOS and Android — both at once?+

React Native is cross-platform by default. We typically ship a single codebase that targets both stores from week one.

Can I add features Adalo doesn't support?+

Yes — that's usually why teams migrate. HealthKit, ARKit, MLKit, custom payment flows, complex offline sync, anything on npm.

Do you also support Flutter?+

Yes — if your team prefers Flutter, we deliver the same migration in Flutter instead of React Native. Same scope, same timeline.
