Summary

Thunkable is an app development platform launched in 2016, enabling users to create native mobile apps for Android and iOS, as well as mobile-responsive web apps, through a visual programming interface akin to Scratch. It is designed for a wide audience, including educators, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists, allowing them to build and publish apps on Google Play and Apple App Stores. Thunkable offers various subscription plans, ranging from a free tier to more advanced options like Pro, Team, and Business, each providing different levels of storage, project capacity, and branding capabilities. Compared to Bubble, another no-code platform, Thunkable supports native app development but lacks the backend database functionality and user management features that Bubble offers. While both platforms provide community support and educational resources, Thunkable's interface is more focused on block-based logic, whereas Bubble offers more flexibility with workflows and database integration.
