#1. Thunkable - Creators wanting to build native iOS and Android apps without coding.
What Is It?
Thunkable is a powerful drag-and-drop no-code app builder. The platform operates on a cloud-hosted visual development system. Users can start for free, upgrading to tiered payment models to publish directly to Apple and Google app stores.
Free Tier Breakdown
What you get: Access to standard UI components and live testing via the companion app.
The catch: Projects are public by default, and you cannot publish to official app stores without a paid plan.
Pros
- Cross-platform development
- Active community support
- Easy component integration
Cons
- No direct app store publishing on free tier
- Public projects limit privacy
- Limited storage capacity
