- Where Your Data Lives
- Project screens, blocks, and assets live in Thunkable's cloud account; every free project is public and remixable in the Public Gallery. App runtime data can use on-device stored variables, Thunkable's default Firebase-backed cloud variables, or user-connected services.
- The Catch / Trade-off
- Thunkable Free is the same editor, but public projects, project and screen limits, and restricted private publishing make it unsuitable for work that cannot be exposed or kept tiny.
