# FAQs **How much does it cost to use Thunkable ✕?** Thunkable is free to use to create public projects.

For users who want to keep their projects private, users have the option of upgrading to Thunkable Builder. [Learn more about Builder](https://thunkable.com/#/pricing). **What does it mean if my project is public or private?** Public projects are included in the Thunkable Public Gallery for anyone to preview and remix. Private projects are just that, private. They are not included in the Thunkable Gallery and are for your eyes only. Private projects can only be shared with other Builder users. Please note: If you share your project with another Builder user, they have the ability to make the project public. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
