Bubble

The most flexible no-code platform for full web and mobile products

Overview

Bubble is a no-code platform for building full-stack web applications with a built-in database, workflows and an API connector, and it now builds native mobile apps for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which run on React Native[2]. The same project can serve web and mobile, with separate Web, Mobile and Web & Mobile options[2].

Bubble prices by project rather than by app and meters server usage in workload units. On annual billing Starter costs US$32 per month with 175,000 workload units, Growth US$119 with 250,000 and Team US$349 with 500,000; Enterprise is custom[2]. The Free plan provides 50,000 workload units and 500 AI credits and supports building and on-device testing, but a paid plan is needed for a live version, which is required for TestFlight, Google Play testing and store publication[2]. Unlimited over-the-air updates are included on all plans[2].

Workload-based billing is Bubble’s main drawback for budgeting: apps that perform heavy database operations can exceed their allowance, triggering overage charges unless overages are switched off[2]. The page does not state monthly build-submission quantities for paid plans[2].
