What makes Buildfire different from Thunkable?

Choose from pre-built templates or build fully custom mobile apps —

Think of Buildfire like Squarespace for mobile apps.

Build apps that grow with your business. Whether you’re launching your first app or building a complex enterprise application. Buildfire grows with you.

Understand your users and optimise your app performance.

Save time, save money, and build better apps. Build complete, scalable solutions without hidden fees. 

Buildfire doesn’t require any coding knowledge. You can use our platform to build one app for both iOS and Android, which allows you to get to market fast for a fraction of the cost.

Buildfire is limitless. You won’t outgrow the platform, and it’s possible to customize any feature or functionality to match your vision.

Apps developed with Buildfire can be monetized and distributed to millions of users while not having to maintain any of the technical burden that's associated with building a high performing app.

Rapid app development tools like Kony, OutSystems, and Kinvey allow you to quickly develop an app using pre-built functionality. While RAD tools don’t require coding, you’ll have limitations with what you can develop, depending on the platform you’re using.

Hybrid app platforms like React Native, Cordova, Appcelerator, and Ionic are designed for web developers. Any developer that knows Javascript can create a hybrid app. But with that said, you’ll still need to find a web developer if you can’t do this on your own.

Using low-level coding languages like Objective-C, Swift, and Java to develop your app requires you to learn to code. This isn’t a viable option for non-technical users. If you don’t know how to code, you’ll have to hire a development team, which is going to be expensive. Furthermore, native development requires you to build multiple apps if you want to launch on iOS and Android. This will essentially double your costs and development time.

Many DIY App Builder platforms would both fall into the cookie-cutter category. These platforms are fine for building basic apps as a hobby. It’s definitely a cheap development method, but the functionality will be limited. Cookie-cutters aren’t viable options for business apps or any features that would fall outside of the “basic” category.
