The best Thunkable alternative for professional mobile apps
Thunkable's block-based coding is great for learning — but limiting for production apps. Bilt generates real native mobile apps from a prompt, with professional-grade code, live previews, and one-click App Store publishing.
AI-powered, not block-based
What Bilt does that Thunkable can't
Production-ready native apps
Thunkable apps feel basic and limited by block-based logic. Bilt generates professional React Native code that produces polished, high-performance apps indistinguishable from hand-coded ones.
No block limitations
Thunkable's drag-and-drop blocks limit what you can build. Bilt uses AI to generate any feature you describe — complex animations, custom APIs, advanced navigation — with no artificial constraints.
Own your code
Thunkable locks your logic in their block editor with no code export. Bilt generates clean React Native code you can push to GitHub, customize by hand, and deploy anywhere.
Enterprise-grade security
Ship with confidence knowing Bilt meets SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance standards. Thunkable offers no comparable enterprise security certifications for production applications.
Voice input & real-time collaboration
We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.
