Adalo

Contested

76/100 slot score

83% of answers name it

#2 avg. position

+11 ahead of Knack

Adalo leads the nonprofit app-builder question, appearing in 83% of answers with the strongest position-weighting, but Knack and Softr keep this slot genuinely competitive.

Adalo's edge comes from its mobile-first framing — ChatGPT and Gemini both cite it first, and independent benchmark scores give it concrete credibility that the other tools lack in the actual answer text. Knack is the only brand that averages position 1 when it does appear, but it is entirely absent from ChatGPT, which limits its aggregate score to 65 despite strong placement on Gemini and Perplexity. Softr matches Adalo's 83% mention rate but consistently lands around position 4, dragging its score to 61. The answers converge on donor management and volunteer coordination as the shaping use cases, and Adalo's native iOS and Android publishing story fits that framing better than the data-portal angle that drives Knack and Softr recommendations.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:

• "What's the best no-code app builder for a nonprofit organization?"
• "We're a nonprofit, so pricing and donor management matter a lot to us. Which no-code app builder should we use?"
