Publish as a Web App (PRO)
How to publish your project to the Internet as a Web App
Publishing as a Web App is currently the fastest way to publish your Thunkable app. This means that you can get user feedback in minutes instead of hours or days. One major advantage to publishing on the internet is that you don't need to pay additional fees to an app market place.
The "Publish as a Web App" component is a feature just for Thunkable creators with active PRO subscriptions. To upgrade your subscription please visit your membership page. If you cancel your PRO membership, your app will be unpublished once your PRO membership expires.

Mobile web apps are best experienced by opening the link directly on your phone. To make your mobile app feel more like a native app you can add it to the home screen directly from your mobile web browser.
If you preview a mobile web app on a desktop or laptop computer you will see a phone frame around the app. This is to give you a rough idea of its final proportions, but ultimately this will vary from device to device depending on factors such as screen size, aspect ratio, and pixel density.
Responsive Web App
Publishing your app as a responsive web app means that it will scale according to the size of the device that it is being opened on.

Updating your App
Each time you press publish it’s similar to creating a new release of your app in one of stores. This means you can make changes and updates to your without worrying about users seeing a half-finished new feature that you’re still working on.
When you’re ready to release a new version, choose “Publish as a Web App” then click the blue “Publish current version” to update your app. The URL will remain the same, but the project that it links to will be updated.
Embed your app in a webpage
If you host a webpage, you can embed your Thunkable web app in an iframe using the syntax
