thunkable - no-code native app builder with ai
About Thunkable
No-code builder for native iOS and Android apps, now led by an AI chat-to-build flow on top of its original drag-and-drop designer and block-based logic editor. The block editor descends from the MIT App Inventor tradition, which is why it has a real foothold in classrooms. Building and testing are free; putting a live app in a store starts at $59 a month for one app, which is the number that decides most purchases and sits well above competitors whose publishing tiers start nearer $36.
