How we grade them
| 2.0GPAAndromoFair | 2.2GPAThunkableFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DHobbyist is $24 a month yearly, $32 monthly, and it cannot run ads. Ultra, with monetization and AI integrations, is $42 yearly, well above the $20 middle. | DAccelerator is $18 a month billed yearly, just under the $19 middle for builders here — but it lists no live published app, and publishing is rather the point. That starts on Builder at $37 billed yearly or $59 monthly, above the $29 where the dearest tenth begins, and Builder includes exactly one live app. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 14-day free trial with all features. The listing does not say if a card is needed, and there is no free plan afterwards. | CFree for good, with 2,000 AI tokens a month. A build prompt runs about 250 of them, so that's roughly eight goes. Three public projects at 5 screens each, and no private projects at all, so whatever you make, everyone can see. |
| Features | CA no-code builder with ad monetization, store tools and a reseller package. Packages are split by app type, so the one you need decides what you get. | CA description generates the screens, logic and design, Plan mode outlines first, one project targets iPhone and Android and goes to both stores from inside Thunkable, and data sits on the device or in Supabase. But the listing names a serious gap: if your subscription expires, published apps stop working. |
| Ease of use | CA web builder where the work is assembling the app. No store rating on record. | BNo rating on record. You chat, it builds, and the Thunkable Live app runs the result on your own phone while you work. Discuss Mode is there when you're stuck, at about 100 tokens a prompt. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb with AdMob, Firebase, SimplyBook.me, OneSignal, Shopify and WooCommerce named. | BYou build on the web — no desktop app, which is what holds it to a B — and the Thunkable Live app for iPhone and Android runs your project on a real device. It connects to Supabase, Firebase, RevenueCat, AdMob, OneSignal, OpenAI and Google Maps. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
