Bubble

Full-stack web apps without code

Freemium · $59No-code & low-code

Bubble is a no-code & low-code tool for Freelancers and Small businesses, offered as freemium ($59/mo). Founded in United States in 2012. Popular alternatives include Softr, Glide, FlutterFlow.

About Bubble

Bubble is a no-code platform for building full web applications, developed by Bubble Group in New York since 2012. It combines a visual drag-and-drop editor for responsive pages, a built-in database with privacy rules, a workflow engine for application logic, user authentication and hosting, so a founder can ship a marketplace, SaaS or internal app without writing traditional code. A plugin marketplace and the API Connector link it to Stripe, OpenAI and almost any REST service.

Plans are priced by capacity, measured in workload units, plus the number of editors and features such as custom domains, version control branches and API access. The free plan is for building and testing on a bubble.io subdomain; paid tiers add a custom domain, more workload, more collaborators and enterprise options such as dedicated hosting and SSO. Bubble also introduced a native mobile app builder and AI-assisted app generation, so one project can now target web, iOS and Android.

Bubble fits non-technical founders and agencies willing to invest weeks in learning a powerful tool. The trade-offs are a real learning curve, workload-based costs that are hard to forecast for data-heavy apps, performance and SEO that need care, and no code export, which means lock-in. Softr and Glide are faster for simple data apps, FlutterFlow suits mobile-first projects with code export, WeWeb pairs a visual frontend with your own backend, and Retool is better for internal tools.
