Ksaar: no-code alternative to Adalo

Ksaar: no-code alternative to Adalo

Looking for an alternative to Adalo that meets your specific needs? Look no further. Ksaar presents itself as a promising solution, offering advanced features and an optimized user experience. In this article, we'll take a closer look at its distinctive features and the reasons why it could be the best alternative to consider.

Adalo, a mobile application operational in a few gestures

Adalo is a classic in no-code app creation: the tool, which will soon celebrate its fifth anniversary, is one of the first to have democratized mobile app creation to everyone, whether you know how to code or not. Thanks to components prepared (and coded) in advance, you can drag and drop the necessary elements to your application, connect them to a data manager (Airtable for example) and start using your application immediately!

Adalo is the perfect no-code tool for creating the MVP of a mobile application, i.e. the Minimum Viable Product, a prototype that brings together the key functionalities of your application for testing in real-life conditions.

Moreover, the application's interface is not always pleasant to use because of a not very modern design and sometimes poorly explained or limited functionalities, such as the complex relationships between the data that your application manages.

Ksaar, for a complete professional application

Young outsider, Ksaar is a French tool specifically designed to meet the needs of companies, from SMEs to multinationals. Ksaar allows you to create professional web applications, adapted to both computers and mobiles, so that your company's teams can access them regardless of the conditions. These applications can be customer interfaces, inventory management software, or resource directories for your employees: in short, all the digital services that your company may need, both internally and to interact with its customers or suppliers!

Ksaar and Adalo: the face-off

Aspect 1: advanced features

Adalo doesn't allow to integrate more advanced features that your application might need while Ksaar has made it its core business. Indeed, most of the no code tools used to create applications do not integrate elements useful to professionals, such as the ability to create, edit and export PDF documents (for an invoicing software for example), or the ability to read QR codes within the application (useful for an inventory management software). Adalo is gradually addressing this problem by integrating external tools such as VisualDev.studio for automatic PDF generation, these integrations are often not optimized because they are not native to the tool.

Ksaar's rating: 4.5/5

Adalo's rating: 3/5

Aspect 2: the support

Ksaar is available on all media (phone, tablets, computers) to best meet the needs of companies. Teams in the field need to do their reporting on the spot with their cell phone while project managers use their application from a computer. Not only are the applications created with Ksaar responsive by design - the design of the pages in rows and columns makes the application naturally multi-support - but above all the user can choose to hide, or not, certain elements depending on the support. Adalo is focused on one support: cell phones.

Ksaar's rating: 4.5/5

Adalo's rating: 2/5

Aspect 3: Design

Ksaar also gives you more freedom than Adalo to create your application with the design you want: components can be freely placed, you have the possibility to create several tabs, etc., while Adalo imposes a certain structure from which you can't deviate. Above all, Ksaar V3 gives the user the possibility to modify any component as he wishes. Ksaar thus combines the advantages of no-code - the components are preconfigured - and those of code - the user can also decide to completely customize his application.

Ksaar's rating: 4/5

Adalo's rating: 2/5
