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
Momen
- There is no source code export and no self-hosting, so if the vendor changes direction or pricing, migration means rebuilding the application from scratch against exported data.
- It is a young platform with a small team, so the template library, the pool of community answers and the third-party integration marketplace are all thin next to Bubble or WeWeb.
- The learning curve is real, because you are exposed to schemas, relations, queries and access rules, which stops it serving the audience that spreadsheet-backed builders serve.
- Mobile applications are web output rather than native builds, so anything needing real device capability or an app store listing is a wrapper rather than a native app.
- Support and documentation come from the vendor rather than a large user base, so an unusual problem escalates to the same small team everyone else is waiting on.

Free plan provides 500 records per app, Starter offers 5GB per team, Professional includes 25GB per team, and Team tier provides 125GB per team storage.

The Professional plan (52 USD per month) allows 2 published apps. The Team plan (160 USD per month) extends this to 5 published apps.
SourceMomen: Is it suitable for a non-technical founder?
Only one willing to learn data modelling. If you want to point at a spreadsheet and get an application, this is the wrong end of the category.
