11 Best Email Marketing Tools for Adalo Mobile Apps

14 min read

You built your mobile app with Adalo because you wanted true no-code for native mobile. With 1M+ apps created and 99% uptime, Adalo has proven the model works. Now you need email for authentication flows and user engagement.

Adalo apps need email for two purposes: transactional (password resets, verification) and marketing (onboarding, re-engagement). Some tools handle both, others specialize. Your choice depends on whether you want unified tooling or best-of-breed.

This guide covers 11 email marketing tools that work with Adalo applications. I focused on platforms that integrate through Adalo's native integrations or Zapier. If you are using a different no-code mobile tool, check out our guides for FlutterFlow, Thunkable, or Rork.
