Introducing new Thunkable Plans and Pricing

Hello, Thunkable Community!

As we continue to grow and innovate, I want to express my gratitude to each of you. Your creativity, feedback, and support have been invaluable in shaping Thunkable into what it is today. Together, we’ve built a vibrant community of Creators, and I couldn’t be more proud.

I’m excited to announce a new pricing and packaging model designed to support your app development needs and enhance your experience with Thunkable. These changes are based on your feedback and product usage. We want to provide more flexibility and value so everyone can continue creating amazing apps with as few barriers as possible.

Starting today we will offer two plans: Builder and Advanced. We are also updating our Free plan entitlements. Below you’ll see the features of our new paid plans compared to our previous Pro and Business offerings.

The biggest things I want to call out about these new changes are:

  1. Better plans at the same (or better) annual price as the previous plans. The annual Builder plan is the same price as our annual Pro plan, and unlike Pro, it includes custom splash screens, full branding capabilities for published apps, and access to all in-app features. Our Advanced plan allows for unlimited projects, unlimited published apps, and all in-app features for 40% less than our annual Business plan.
  2. Custom Splash Screen for all published apps. We have heard from you, your Creators, that custom branding is vital to you. We have made custom splash screens available for all published apps on all new plans.
  3. If you’re on a current paid plan – you will be unaffected. That’s right. You can keep your current plan and your current price point for as long as you keep your plan active. If you want to keep your Starter, Pro, or Business plan – you can have it for as long as you want!

Here is a breakdown of the differences between our Pro and Business plans and the new Builder and Advanced plans.

As we move to the new system, I want to explain what this means for all of our existing Thunkers.

For current paid subscribers:

  • You can maintain your existing plan at the same rate as long as your subscription remains active.

  • If you cancel your current plan, you’ll lose access to the Starter, Pro, or Business plans and can only purchase the new Builder or Advanced plans. To switch, you must meet the requirements for the Builder plan.

  • If you switch from any paid plan to the Free plan, your private projects will go into “read-only” mode, and you won’t be able to edit or create new projects until you meet the Free plan requirements.

For current Free subscribers:

  • You can maintain 10 projects with unlimited screens until December 31st, 2024. After that date, you will be transitioned to our new Free plan entitlements. Our new Free plan includes three public projects, each capped at five screens and limited to two expiring downloads per month. The new Free plan structure is below.
  • Users who create a free account today and move forward will be granted three projects with a maximum of five screens per project.
  • On December 31st, if you’d like to preserve all of your projects on your Free plan you will need to upgrade your account to a paid plan.

As we move forward with these changes, we’re committed to providing a smooth transition for all our users. Please check our FAQs and our Pricing Page for more details. More details will be available on our website, and we encourage your feedback as we roll this out.

Stay tuned for more updates, and happy app building!

Best,
Arun Saigal, Thunkable CEO

The new free account “timed” test downloads is very disappointing. This will be very annoying for new and starting app builders, :disappointed:

We’d been using Thunkable as a tool for coding classes, because of how good the drag&drop is, but the new limits render it useless.
The 3 app limit we might have been able to do with, but the 5 screens limit is just too small.
That’s disappointing, we’ll be looking for an alternative

Hi @marine.bocquetpncnj We have offerings specific to education and teachers. I would be more than happy to talk to you about this and see what we can do to help. I’ll send you a DM to get your contact info so we can set up a time to talk.

Dear Thunkable Team,

I am writing to urgently request assistance with my Thunkable Business account, which was unexpectedly downgraded without any prior notice. This downgrade has broken the links to my published apps, causing significant disruptions. Unfortunately, this issue also led to a missed opportunity today when I was unable to demonstrate our application to a potential investor.

I have taken several steps to try and resolve this situation, including:

  • Contacting my account representative, but he is no longer with Thunkable, and I haven’t been introduced to a new representative, leaving me without support.

  • Emailing Billing, but I have not received any response.

  • Sent an email to Victor Wong, CFO (victor@thunkable.com) requesting assistance with billing, but I have not received any response.

  • Attempting to reach out via phone, but two of the three numbers I have are for former employees, and I was unable to connect with Victor when I tried to only working number for Thunkable that I know of.

As per your policy, I should be able to maintain my existing plan at the same rate as long as my subscription remains active. However, due to this unanticipated downgrade, I am now unable to restore my previous Business plan, and have no support.

The lack of communication during this process has been very disappointing. I kindly request that my Business account be restored immediately to avoid any further disruptions.

Your prompt assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

John F. Rucker
