In their own words
Thunkable
Thunkable lets people create custom native mobile apps and websites without technical expertise. Its AI Builder turns prompts into apps, and Discuss Mode helps plan projects and troubleshoot issues. Visual design tools combine with blocks-based logic and a code editor for direct edits. Thunkable says apps can be published to Apple’s App Store, Google Play, and the web. Integrations include Cloudinary, Airtable, Firebase, Google Sheets, Webflow, Xano, Backendless, RevenueCat, APIs, Figma, and Termly. The free plan costs nothing and includes 2,000 AI tokens, three public projects, and five screens per project, but no private projects. Accelerator costs $18 a month. Builder is listed at $37 a year and Advanced at $99 a year, with pages displaying $37 and $99 per month. Testing downloads expire after 72 hours; distribution downloads remain available while paid subscriptions stay active.
