Bubble gets you a website fast!
Comments: For an entrepreneur Bubble is a wonderful alternative to hiring an espensive developer who takes alot of work to make changes with.
Pros:
I liked that as a founder I could easily design with a college student what I wanted to to look like and I found a competent developer who made the mvp. After the mvp a local designer/developer has been redesigning and deploying a wonderful marketplace search engine.
Cons:
Sometimes Bubble goes down but I believe it's quickly fixed.
Alternatives Considered:
Most user friendly no-code platform I know
Comments: I'm a developer since 2012 and started using Bubble in 2020. I fell in love for how fast I'm able to build prototypes for my ideias and how easy it is to develop on it.
Pros:
Easy to use and deploy apps. Good design editor for responsive pages. Has front-end and back-end features. Easy to integrate with REST APIs. Vast plugin marketplace.
Cons:
A bit slow for loading pages, specially on mobile. No native apps. A bit rigid on data manipulation.
Alternatives Considered:
Safari user signup doesn’t work
Comments: See other comments. Not really anything more to say. The safari issue has been ongoing for some time without resolution or date advised of when it will be fixed.
Pros:
Can do a lot without code. Leaning modules Full control over the design. Very flexible.
Cons:
Safari login password auto complete causes errors. This is a huge problem for us as close to 50% of our users are on safari and forcing to use Chrome is not a great user experience causing a lot of friction in the signup process. Support is slow or consistently directs us to the community forum.

Like using Figma to design an app but it's functional
Comments: If you have good ideas paired with the time and desire to learn how to build your own app in Bubble, it is a fantastic, very empowering tool. Developing apps is hard, but Bubble makes developing an app without prior app development experience a lot less painful than you might expect. It definitely helps to tap in to the community for support and tutorials.
Pros:
Plain language expression composing and drag and drop design.
Cons:
My own inexperience with app logic has been the only difficulty using Bubble.
Alternatives Considered:
Powerful customizable no-code builder with minor performance issues
Pros:
• Extensive customization of the app design (changing layouts, colors, adding custom elements, changing elements conditionally, etc.) • Easy integrations with numerous external tools • Ability to quickly connect to external APIs • Ability to write or integrate custom code • Active Bubble developer community and extensive documentation • Ability to build progressive web apps using additional tools
Cons:
• Since I have experience in web development, some Bubble design features felt unnatural at first (e.g. not using standard CSS display options). However, I got used to it over time • Pages load quite slowly sometimes. I'm also using Webflow for another website that loads pages noticeably faster • As our database is getting larger, it sometimes starts loading extremely slowly. However, if I hit refresh, then the database loads at its usual speed
Alternatives Considered:
Best Full Stack Website builder
Pros:
It's the only no code builder that includes a great database built in, this allows us to create all the website with only one tool. Coming from a development background it's really easy to use.
Cons:
You don't own the code and everything is hosted in Bubble servers so you depende on them.
Bubble is not a serious company, doesn't keep its promises and have a terrible support.
Comments: Terrible. A waste of time and money. I am switching for a new nocode platform.
Pros:
The community of developers of their platform (but they are all pissed off with the last pricing and policy changes too)
Cons:
Bubble is expensive, slow, and not a serious company.They changed to an overpriced model overnight and didn't keep their promises of deadlines of updating these plans to the old model.The support is awful, they don't even read your messages and answer with generic texts and don't solve your problem.

A great no-code platform to build MVPs and more
Comments: I started Bubble to build my company's app. Now that it's up and running I'm a full time bubble freelancer. I really love my job, I work on a lot of different apps and it's a real pleasure to open my bubble editor every day. My clients are super satisfied.
Pros:
What was most important for me at the beginning is that you can really build anything you want. I tried no code platforms before but there was always something that I couldn't do and my clients were disappointed. Now with bubble anything they ask, I can build. With the new responsive engine it's super easy to build beautiful apps in no time that work on all devices.
Cons:
I think the learning curve is pretty steep. When you start you immediately see the potential of Bubble but to achieve what you really want, you need to work a lot and learn a lot.

Alternatives Considered:
Changed my life
Comments: Totally transformed my career. I am so grateful to the bubble team!
Pros:
Absolutely the best nocode tool on the market. Totally changed my life. Allowed me to build a valuable software company as a non-technical founder.
Cons:
There are weaknesses, but the pros FAR outweigh the cons.Xano.com and TheBDK.com really shine where Bubble is sometimes weak.

Alternatives Considered:
Faster builds, more features with Bubble
Comments: Never looking back!
Pros:
We're able to build new features, refine existing features, test new ideas, and iterate so insanely fast with Bubble. Every 2 weeks I'm absolutely blown away by the number of new features and feature improvements in our changelog. I can't even imagine trying to build with traditional code now!
Cons:
Extremely demanding data work isn't great in Bubble (but easy to do in other tools and API what you need in/out).
Bubble for prototyping
Comments: My overall experience is very good. The bubble is the fastest way to develop a prototype to validate your business idea with no code.
Pros:
I can integrate and call APIs from AWS Cloud very easily. Bubble allows me to control the App responsiveness to make it align to different UIs. Also, I like that I can create a duplicate from my project as a backup and restore it whenever needed.
Cons:
Bubble is really expensive and the free trial does not allow to integrate any APIs. I don't like the database in bubble as it is very restricted and does not allow any customizations. Also, It is a little bit slow to preview image and files hosted on bubble servers.
Alternatives Considered:
Good platform for MVPs or not big websites
Comments: We are happy now. We built our app, and it is running smoothly.
Pros:
What I like the most is the fact that Bubble is quite easy to learn, although it is hard to master. After a while, we can create almost anything we like.
Cons:
It has weird bugs. Sometimes the editor is not responding OK on Chrome, or some workflows are not working on mobiles while they are working on desktops. Usually, you can find a workaround.
Alternatives Considered:
My experience with Bubble
Pros:
Easy to start using and progress. There are a lot of tutorials and a large community of people that can support development as well.
Cons:
Very steep learning curve. I initially started developing with Bubble but gave up after a few weeks due to how difficult it was to learn. But the resources I discovered help improve the platform.
Bubble an everything tool
Comments: Developing apps for clients. Around s 15-20 apps built since 3 yrs.
Pros:
I love to centralize all my app in bubble. Front and backend all connected with api.
Cons:
Page are so slow to load and SEO is badly impacted
Overall great product!
Comments: Overall very happy to have discover this product and being able to approve it by the company. I looks forward doing more projects.
Pros:
I like the ease of use. It allows me to launch quick MVPs to see their potential impact. Having the option to *almost* completely customize by using also custom code. Having plugins and integrations is very powerful.
Cons:
- Performance is not always perfect and needs to be an expert to optimize the project to make sure the performance is optimal. - Some elements are a bit limited in terms of customization. For example the video is limited only to youtube and vimeo, and while there are plugins that allows to add files to the DB it's not always perfect and customizable.
The best tool to get your idea into production
Pros:
Simplicity Extensibility Youtube Community
Cons:
Plugin documentation Unable to work in teams unless there is an expensive license
Why using it
Pros:
It is easy, powerful and all in one. It is secure.
Cons:
It is proprietary and the data interface could be more useful and ergonomic.
Bubble Review - Eva Analytics
Pros:
Easy to integrate with addons Fast Unlimited dtbd Easy to use AND scale
Cons:
Customer support. Not fast enough. Lack of multiple environments
Bubble
Pros:
it's really user friendly and has changed the way our team works for the better.
Cons:
sometimes it can be a bit slow but it runs better than many other systems.

Probably the most powerfule no code app building platform
Pros:
Bubble lets you build fully functional software with few limitations in functionality. In particular the API connector is super powerful.
Cons:
The styles that Bubble offers now feel dated although there has been some improvements in the past year.
Best choice ever
Pros:
No Code and simplicity and easy to manage
Cons:
Price of course 🥴 will be nice to have some discount

Top Notch NoCode App Builder
Comments: Excellent
Pros:
The many possibilities of what can be created with just clicking and putting together the right components and actions are sleek and very phenomenal.
Cons:
I would say one thing I like least about the solution is that you're locked in. You can't export your app code etc, you can only function within the premise of what the solution provides.
Going from Founder to Running an App-based Business
Comments: As a software developer turning founder and business manager, Bubble is an unexpected gem in a world of ways to build software for my needs. There has been almost nothing I could not do with Bubble, including some advanced processing algorithms that my competition has not attempted. I feel like I can make a full-scale web marketplace platform for a scale of 100,000s users all within Bubble. And, by using Bubble, I also save hundreds of thousands of dollars building solid infrastructure. And I believe the Bubble leadership is committed to growing the platform in the ways that matter; stability, security, developer features, to give tools to nocode developers to deliver fast, clean, and delightful, end-user experiences.
Pros:
Bubble gives me ALL the most important pieces of the puzzle to create a viable software system. I like the way Bubble creates pages, preview, and deploy them to a live public-facing web product fast. I like the built-in User system. I like the row-level security system. I like the way it manages a dev environment and production environment seamlessly and intelligently. I like the navigation between pages. I love the way objects in the database are defined, created, and linked to the application. I like the way pages can be laid out responsively using techniques similar to the best prototyping systems like Figma. It's almost as fast to create live working production pages as it is to design them in a prototyping tool. I like the way data elements are referenced on the page. I like the way information can be presented, edited by a user, and then stored. It gives you the power of the display and the power of the saving process. I like the rich and useful plugins. I like how almost every external service you will need is already available, and how EASY it is to connect to external APIs. I LOVE how the entire system -- EVERYWHERE -- automatically shows changes to data everywhere all at once. The technical description of this feature is that every element that shows data has a subscription to that database element automatically. Most of all, I like how searching and displaying information and pictures are handled. using fast and easy-to-understand techniques.
Cons:
The dynamic data source entry boxes, where you can use "no code" thinking, access both simple ("grab the data from a data field or another component on the page" ) and complex ("merge the results of a database search with a list just entered by the user and stored in the page"). But, the entry box is small and too tightly "prompted". Just making it larger would be an improvement. I don't like how all options sets and plugin data are loaded with every page even when that page doesn't make use of it - I believe it affects page-loading performance.
Bubble for creating IOT platform
Comments: Bubble enabled use to build a platform easily and fast without incurring extra cost to pay a web developer and without having to learn new web dev tools.
Pros:
the best no code tool ever , enabled use to build a IOT based platform with little to no prior web dev skills.There are ease to use tutorials with a very helpful community , for a startup its pricing is affordable.
Cons:
Starting off is not very taxing but becomes a steep learning curve as you get into developing more complex features .

Bubble, an excellent platform to create real business solutions
Comments: Bubble as a platform and as a company is fantastic. Bubble's Support Team responses are fast and accurate. The list of examples and opportunities to practice and learn are another example of how the company is always trying to help anyone to learn and be creative. Bubble is a great tool to provide sophisticated solutions in an affordable and professional way.
Pros:
Bubble provides all needed integration, and/or the ability to integrate to very much any API. The simple way of presenting the tools to create complex solutions helps to focus in creating vs learning. Of course, learning is always good to use its full potential. Bubble provides the necessary resources to concentrate in the application and not so much in the implementation. With CPU and speed reports we can measure performance and have peace of mind at the time of deployment.
Cons:
Support is only by email. (but support responded in good time and manner.)
