What it really isA no-code and AI builder for native iOS and Android apps, with app store publishing.
Our takeThunkable has been around for over 10 years and now puts its AI chat builder first, with the visual editor and code edits behind it.
That mix helps when the AI gets close but not all the way. The pricing is the part to read twice: the free plan is public projects only, and the first plan that lists a live published app is Builder. Your published apps also stop working if the subscription ends.
Why we rate itIt covers the full path from idea to a native app in both stores, with AI, a visual editor and code edits in one place.
The catchLive publishing starts on Builder, AI use is capped by tokens, and apps go offline for users if you stop paying.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Low: prompt a first version and test it on your phone the same day.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    More than one live app pushes you from Builder to Advanced.
  3. Walled garden
    High: apps depend on an active Thunkable subscription to stay available.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
