The short version

  • Only Adalo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Adalo free plan does not allow publishing apps, maximum 500 records storage; Caspio data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.

Caspio

  • A public-facing organisation running intake forms or surveys with unpredictable, potentially large numbers of occasional external usersnot Adalo
  • A nonprofit or membership organisation embedding a portal into an existing website without paying per member seatnot Adalo
  • A team whose main constraint is data record volume rather than the number of people who need accessnot Adalo
  • A healthcare-adjacent use case needing HIPAA-eligible hosting as a defined add-on rather than a separate vendornot Adalo

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adalo

  • Free plan does not allow publishing apps, maximum 500 records storage
  • Starter plan limited to 1 published app and 1 editor
  • No usage-based charges across all plans, but storage limits enforced

Caspio

  • Data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.
  • DataPage counts (100 on Team, 200 on Business) limit how many distinct app components can be built, which becomes a real constraint for an organisation running many small, separate apps rather than a few large ones.
  • The HIPAA compliance add-on costs 500 US dollars a month on top of the base plan with a one-year minimum term, a meaningful additional commitment for healthcare-adjacent buyers.
  • Its unlimited-user model is only cheaper than per-seat competitors when the user count is genuinely high relative to data volume; a small team with heavy data needs may find a per-seat platform cheaper.
  • The visual builder and DataPages approach is less suited to complex multi-step business process automation than platforms built around workflow engines, such as Appian or Mendix.
