Who it's for

Best for

  • Non-technical founders building a first MVP without a developer
  • Small teams that need a web app live fast with third-party APIs hooked in

Not for

  • Experienced developers who need full code control and familiar tooling
  • Beginners who expect a finished app with no CSS or JavaScript at all

Features

  • Web, iOS and Android apps

    One project can be built for web, iOS and Android, covering desktop and both mobile platforms from the same builder.

  • Free plan to build any app

    Any app can be built for free, with an API connector, a development version and a web debugger before moving to a paid plan.

  • Live site with a custom domain

    The Starter plan adds a live website and a custom domain on top of the free features, taking a project from development to a published site.

  • Version control and security checks

    Starter covers basic version control and basic security checks, and higher plans add scheduled deployments and custom alerts.

  • AI credits and workload units

    Each app plan carries a monthly AI credit and workload allowance that refreshes on the first of the month, with extra credits available for purchase.

What users say

Pros

  • Apps reach a first working build quickly, with an outside API connected in about 15 minutes.
  • Complex, functioning apps get built by non-coders using visual development instead of programming.

Cons

  • Anything past simple layouts requires basic CSS and JavaScript knowledge to make it work.
  • Tight workload unit limits force constant optimisation and can exhaust the quota within days of launch.
  • Pages built on Bubble load a long list of third-party scripts and trackers.
