Bubble

Bubble is a no-code platform for building full-stack web and mobile apps using AI prompts and a visual editor. It is built for founders, agencies, and teams who want to ship real software without hiring developers. You start with the AI agent to generate an app, then fine-tune the design, database, and logic by hand for precision.

Key Highlights

• Generate a working app from a text prompt, then edit it visually
• Build for web, iOS, and Android from one project with a shared backend
• Built-in database, hosting, and security, with no separate stack to manage
• Connect services like Stripe and Google Maps through an API connector
• Thousands of templates and plugins to extend an app
• Used by over 5 million builders, with more than 6 million apps created

What Makes It Different

Bubble combines AI generation with full visual control rather than locking you into prompt-only editing. After the AI agent scaffolds an app, you open the visual editor to set exact design, workflows, and privacy rules, so you are not stuck regenerating the whole app to change one detail. It also covers web and native mobile (mobile runs on React Native) from one project, which most AI builders cannot.

Features & Capabilities

The workflow has three parts: design, data, and logic. You generate or import a design, build a database to organize your information, and automate actions through a point-and-click logic editor, all without code. Bubble handles hosting and the secure backend.

External services connect through plugins or the API connector, including Stripe and Google Maps, and native mobile apps publish to the Apple App Store and Google Play.

User Ratings and Testimonials

Bubble holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating on G2 across about 166 reviews. Users praise how much development time it saves, the all-in-one stack (database, APIs, front end, hosting), and the large plugin and agency marketplace. Common criticisms are a real learning curve and the usage-based "workload unit" pricing, which can grow unpredictable and costlier as an app scales.

Pricing & Value

• Free: $0, a development version with 1 app editor, 50K workload units per month, the API connector, and the native mobile editor for building (not launching)
• Starter: $59/month billed annually, adds a live website, custom domain, 175K workload units, and mobile build submissions
• Growth: $209/month billed annually, adds premium version control, two-factor authentication, 2 app editors, and 250K workload units
• Team: $549/month billed annually, adds sub apps, 5 app editors, and 500K workload units
• Enterprise: custom pricing with custom workload, choice of hosting location, and a dedicated support team

The Free plan is enough to build and test an app end to end, so you only pay once you launch. Students, nonprofits, and schools get discounts.
