10 Best Email Marketing Tools for Thunkable Apps

You built your app with Thunkable because you wanted block-based development like Scratch for real mobile apps. Direct App Store and Play Store publishing, OpenAI integration, and visual programming make mobile development accessible. Now you need email that matches your visual workflow.
Thunkable's block-based approach means you prefer visual tools. Your email platform should have drag-and-drop builders, visual automation, and minimal code. The best fit works like Thunkable: visual logic for complex outcomes.
This guide covers 10 email marketing tools that work with Thunkable applications. I prioritized platforms with visual builders that match Thunkable's philosophy. If you are using a different no-code mobile tool, check out our guides for Adalo, FlutterFlow, or Rork.
