What's Happening?
With Adalo's recent announcement regarding sunsetting their free plan, we wanted to make sure that the Adalo community had a place to send their data before servers are shut down, if you choose to not upgrade to a paid Adalo subscription or the new Maintenance Mode tier at this time.
What are my options?
Xano offers a free plan that allows up to 100,000 records. You'll have plenty of space to import your Adalo data while you determine next steps.
Why use Xano for my data?
Xano acts as the entire backend for your website or app. Adalo currently offers collections and limited conditional functionality when using Adalo by itself. Xano offers the same functionality as collections by giving you not only a place to store your data, but a visual API builder, enabling you to put together any sort of additional functionality you might need to power your app.
The best part is that Xano is completely decoupled from whatever frontend you decide to use. This means that you will never be impacted by something like this again, and if you ever need to move to a new frontend, or you want to expand to multiple frontends, all you need to do is connect it to your existing Xano backend, and you're ready to go.
