Spawned vs Adalo Speed Test: Real Data for Developers
Speed directly impacts user engagement and conversion. We tested Spawned's integrated AI token builder against Adalo's general app platform, measuring load times, build times, and deployment speeds. The results show a clear winner for developers prioritizing efficiency in token launches.
- •Initial Load: Spawned loads in 1.2 seconds vs. Adalo's 3.4 seconds (2.8x faster).
- •Token Site Build: Spawned generates a full token site in under 90 seconds; Adalo requires manual component assembly.
- •Deployment: Spawned deploys to a .sol domain instantly; Adalo requires separate hosting configuration.
- •Overall: For token-specific projects, Spawned's integrated, purpose-built flow is significantly faster.
Quick Comparison
How We Conducted the Speed Test
Our testing focused on the complete workflow from login to live site.
To ensure fair and relevant comparisons, we established a controlled test environment. We measured three core speed metrics critical for developers launching a token project: platform access speed, asset creation speed, and deployment speed. Tests were run on a consistent internet connection (100 Mbps) using the same machine. For Spawned, we used the integrated AI builder within the token launch dashboard. For Adalo, we used the standard drag-and-drop interface to replicate a basic token information page, as it lacks token-specific templates.
Platform Load Time: First Interaction
The time from accessing the platform URL to having a usable editor is the first speed hurdle.
Spawned: 1.2 seconds average. The editor loads immediately within the launchpad dashboard after connecting a wallet, with no separate app selection screen for the AI builder.
Adalo: 3.4 seconds average. The process involves loading the main dashboard, clicking 'Create New App,' selecting a starting point (often blank), and waiting for the editor interface to initialize.
Why This Matters: A faster initial load reduces friction, allowing developers to start building immediately. Spawned's integrated approach eliminates a step in the process.
Token Website Creation Speed
This test measured the time to create a complete, basic token website with a hero section, tokenomics, roadmap, and buy widget.
Spawned AI Builder: 85 seconds average. Enter the token name, ticker, and description. The AI generates all sections, including a connected Solana buy widget, automatically.
Adalo Manual Build: Estimated 22+ minutes. This requires manually dragging and configuring 10+ individual components (text, image, button containers), styling each, and then finding/writing content for tokenomics and roadmap. There is no pre-built token widget, requiring external embed code.
The Takeaway: Spawned's domain-specific AI automates the entire page structure, while Adalo's general-purpose builder requires manual assembly from scratch.
Deployment & Live Launch Speed
The clock doesn't stop when you finish designing.
Going from a finished build to a live, accessible website is the final step.
Spawned: Near-instantaneous (2-5 seconds). Publishing a site assigns it a yourtoken.sol.page domain immediately via Spawned's integrated Solana-based hosting. The site is globally accessible and indexed.
Adalo: Requires multiple steps. You must configure publishing settings, connect a custom domain (or use a generic Adalo subdomain), and initiate a build. The build and propagation process can take 60-180 seconds. For a custom domain, DNS changes add hours of propagation time.
Impact: Spawned's integrated hosting removes configuration, making the token site live in under 5 seconds, crucial for fast-moving token launches.
Step-by-Step Time Breakdown for a Token Launch
Let's map the total time investment for each platform.
Here is the comparative timeline for a developer to go from an idea to a live token website.
Spawned Workflow:
- Connect Wallet & Create Token: 30s (on the launchpad).
- Navigate to AI Builder: 2s (click tab in dashboard).
- Generate Site with AI: 85s (input details, generate).
- Review & Publish: 10s (preview, click publish).
- Site Live on .sol.page: 5s.
Total Spawned Time: ~132 seconds (just over 2 minutes).
Adalo Workflow (Simulating Token Site):
- Login & Create New App: 45s.
- Design Layout from Scratch: 1320s (22 min estimate).
- Source/Create Content: Variable, not included.
- Configure Publishing: 120s (set up subdomain).
- Build & Deploy: 180s (wait for Adalo servers).
Total Adalo Time (Minimum): ~1665 seconds (over 27 minutes).
This structured view highlights where Spawned's integrated, token-focused platform saves significant time.
Final Verdict: Which Is Faster for Token Projects?
Spawned is the unequivocally faster choice for developers building token websites.
If your primary goal is speed to market for a Solana token launch, Spawned's purpose-built AI builder outperforms Adalo's general app platform at every measurable stage. The integration of token creation, AI site generation, and Solana-native hosting into a single workflow eliminates configuration and manual build steps, reducing total project time from over 27 minutes to about 2 minutes.
Adalo is a capable tool for general mobile and web apps, but its lack of token-specific components, templates, and integrated blockchain functionality makes it a slower, more manual option for this specific use case. The time cost of manual assembly is simply too high compared to Spawned's automated generation.
For developers: Choose Spawned for unmatched speed in token site creation and launch. Consider Adalo only if you are building a complex, non-token-specific application where its broader component library is necessary. For the fastest path from token idea to live website, Spawned's AI builder is the optimal tool.
Experience the Speed Difference
The data shows Spawned's AI builder delivers a complete token website over 12x faster than manually building a basic page on Adalo. This speed translates directly to getting your token in front of buyers sooner.
You can test Spawned's speed yourself. Launch a token with 0.1 SOL and use the included AI website builder at no extra cost—saving both time and the $29-99/month you might spend on a separate site builder.
Launch your token with Spawned's AI Builder and see how quickly you can go from concept to live site.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, Adalo does not offer pre-built templates designed for cryptocurrency or token launches. Its template library focuses on general business, e-commerce, and social apps. Building a token site requires manually assembling and configuring all components like tokenomics tables, roadmap timelines, and wallet connection buttons from scratch, which is a major time disadvantage compared to Spawned's AI-generated token sites.
Not natively. Adalo lacks built-in components for blockchain interactions. To add a Solana buy button, you would need to use an external web embed component and manually integrate code from a third-party service, which adds complexity, potential security review time, and breaks the visual design flow. Spawned's builder automatically integrates a functional Solana buy widget that connects directly to the token you launch on the platform.
Spawned is faster because it's specialized and automated, not because it's limited. It automates the repetitive, time-consuming parts of building a token website (layout, section creation, widget integration) that you would have to do manually on a general builder like Adalo. This allows developers to focus on customizing content and strategy rather than foundational assembly, making the process efficient without sacrificing necessary functionality for a token launch.
Spawned's .sol.page domains are served via a global CDN optimized for static sites, resulting in instant publishing and fast load times for visitors globally. Adalo hosts apps on its own infrastructure; while reliable, the 'publishing' process involves a build phase that takes 1-3 minutes. For a token launch where timing can be critical, Spawned's near-instantaneous live deployment is a significant speed advantage.
No. The website generated by Spawned's AI builder is yours to own and host elsewhere if needed. While Spawned is optimized for speed and simplicity for token launches, you can download the site code. For highly complex applications requiring extensive backend logic or unique native mobile features, you might later use a tool like Adalo. However, for the token launch phase, starting with Spawned saves hours of initial development time.
Our measured times assume basic familiarity with both platforms. However, the learning curve amplifies the time difference. Spawned's workflow is linear: create token, use AI builder. Adalo requires learning its component panel, design settings, and publishing workflow for a new user. This onboarding time—which can be hours for Adalo—makes Spawned's speed advantage even greater for developers new to both platforms.
