Development & no-code

Overview

Thunkable is a no-code mobile app development studio for building native iOS and Android apps through a visual drag-and-drop interface or conversational AI interface (turn your idea into an app by chatting). It supports Firebase for database and authentication, Google Sheets, Google Maps, Stripe, and PayPal for business integrations, and backends like Xano and Backendless for business logic. The free plan includes 3 public projects and 2,000 AI tokens; Accelerator ($18/month) unlocks 5 public projects and 20,000 tokens; Builder ($59/month) enables 10 private projects, one live app, and 50,000 tokens; Advanced ($189/month) grants unlimited access to everything.

Thunkable does not offer a complete French-language interface, though community resources in French exist. The tool supports REST APIs for custom integrations and webhooks. The main limitation concerns complexity: highly sophisticated apps (advanced business logic, demanding performance) hit no-code constraints, and often require native code augmentation. Per-user costs become significant for small SaaS publishers scaling. Competition with FlutterFlow and other cross-platform builders is accelerating, and some users report slowdowns on large apps.

Our verdict

Best for independents, SMEs, and entrepreneurs launching simple mobile apps (MVPs) quickly without hiring developers, with zero entry cost. Avoid for complex apps or demanding performance requirements: no-code has constraints, and FlutterFlow may be a better fit for more demanding apps.
