Thunkable
AI builder for native iOS and Android apps, built by chatting
What is Thunkable?
Thunkable builds native iOS and Android apps, and web apps, from a chat description. Its AI Builder generates the screens, logic and design, a Discuss Mode helps plan and troubleshoot, and the result can be tested on a phone through the Thunkable Live app before being published to the App Store or Google Play from inside the platform. Plans are metered by monthly AI tokens and by how many private projects and live published apps they allow.
Thunkable has a free plan. Paid plans start at $18 per month, billed yearly; $19 billed monthly (Accelerator). See every plan
Good for
- Non-developers who want a native app in the App Store and Google Play
- Students and teachers, who can apply for discounted Education plans
- Trying ideas for free with public projects before paying
Worth knowing
- Free and Accelerator do not list a live published app; Builder includes 1 and Advanced is unlimited.
- The Free plan has no private projects, and private projects become read-only if a paid subscription lapses.
- If a subscription expires, published apps become unavailable to their end users.
- Monthly billing costs far more on the higher tiers: Builder is $59 billed monthly against $37 billed yearly.
Key features
- AI Builder
- A text description generates a mobile or web app's screens, logic and design, and follow-up prompts change it. Each build prompt uses roughly 250 AI tokens.
- Discuss Mode and Plan mode
- Discuss Mode helps plan a project and troubleshoot issues at about 100 tokens a prompt. Plan mode has the AI outline an app for review before it builds anything.

- App store and web publishing
- One project targets both iOS and Android and is submitted to the App Store and Google Play from inside Thunkable, or published as a mobile or responsive web app.
- Data and backend options
- App data can stay on the device or live in Supabase, and the docs cover Firebase authentication, RevenueCat purchases, AdMob ads and OneSignal push notifications.
