Thunkable is one of the easiest ways to build a native mobile app for the first time. You drag components onto screens, add logic, and test live on your own phone, then publish to the iOS and Android stores when ready. AI tokens come with every plan, from 2,000 on Free to 100,000 on Advanced. The Free plan allows 3 public projects with 5 screens each, which is enough to learn. Accelerator costs $18 a month billed yearly, or $19 monthly, and adds a private project and 10 screens per project, but no live published app. For that you need Builder at $37 a month billed yearly, or $59 monthly, which includes 1 live published app, unlimited screens and custom branding. Advanced at $99 billed yearly allows unlimited published apps. The feature set is lighter than FlutterFlow or Bubble for complex products, but for a first app or a classroom it is approachable and affordable.
