1. If someone wanted the source code to the apps built with Adalo, would they be able to get it if its possible? 2. Will we own all the applications that are built with Adalo? ---

Hi @hermes, we do provide the `apk` for Android builds and for `iOS` the build is saved to your test flight account. And yes, you do own your applications built on Adalo. ---

You might want low-code for that, no code means black box. ---

> [@badi](#): > > can I open that folder with vscode or android studio ? You can’t, the generated code will be inside the box that cannot be open by the builder, that is how monetization work. If you build no code app builder, how do you monetize then ? ---

Not that I know of. It is their secret sauce. But for low code, might be a little different, their business model is more to lazy programmers than builders. ---

Well, that is great if it is, but it should not be normal, you may find an anomaly here. You can private message me, as I already forget my facebook account. 😀 Some of startups such Mattermost and Supabase or even this Discourse (this is an established company) make business model for doing open source but getting paid by hosting their own products. I don’t think that will be the case for Adalo, but who knows in the future. ---

I am not wizard. 😀 but guessing, probably you want to host it on your own choosing and free the chain. 😀 ---
