The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Adalo free plan caps app data at 500 records per app; RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline

Where each one falls short

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

Adalo

  • Free plan caps app data at 500 records per app
  • Starter plan at $36 per month is limited to 1 published app; publishing 2 apps requires the $52 per month Professional plan and 5 apps requires the $160 per month Team plan

RudderStack

  • On the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
  • The free plan allows 250,000 events a month
  • Growth starts at $265 a month for 1 million events, with volume sold in tiers up to 25 million
  • Overage is charged as the gap to the next tier's price rather than per event, so a small excess costs a full tier step
