Bubble

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.

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.

Scam. Avoid

Comments: I signed up for this with the intention to test and delete if not suitable. I deleted my payment details to close my account and was continually billed after this, despite not using the service and customer service say they can not refund me. This is a subscription trap. Unethical. I went on to cancel the card attached to the account and some how they have managed to still bill me. I'm not even sure how or if this is even legal. Waiting on my bank to fix this now.

Pros:

Nothing at all. They are scamming subscription traps

Cons:

No customer service. Continued billing after removing payment details and having UI confirmation that details were deleted

Easy of learning if you already have some basics

Comments: Very good. Always eager to learn more and curious to know what will be the next releases from the team!

Pros:

The flexibility. You can basically build anything.

Cons:

The content of the learning center and from video tutorials are only for beginners when you start already dominate bubble but you still have lots of room for improvement is quite difficult to find content

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.

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.

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).

Amazing product with huge potential

Comments: Very good overall, it enabled me and my startup to develop app in a decent time frame, that was impossible with "tradicional" methods.

Pros:

Very easy to create the app design, you save a lot on time.Working with APIs for integration it's pretty straight forward.The workflows and conditions are pretty simple to master.

Cons:

The lack of official plugins for out of the box integrations with other tools.Not having the possibility for selfhost.

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.

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.

A great way to find Product Market Fit

Comments: Overall it's great, wish I knew about the SEO issues sooner, so that I would create a landing page on something else.

Pros:

It's amazing how quickly you can go to market with bubble.io. It makes no sense to do the same thing in code, even if you know (as I do) how to do it, just to find out that your customers wouldn't need the product you're developing. You have an idea, 1 day later it's reality. Still have to find limitations related to scalability, as my platform has less than 30 users.

Cons:

SEO ranking is terrible for bubble native websites, so do not use it for landing pages. If you just need to do a Landing page, use something else, such as webflow or wix. Bubble is great for webapps Some technical things take a little time to get used to.

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.

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.

The best when I sell service

Comments: it was the best

Pros:

the best thing that i love is the features such as the drag and drop

Cons:

it is somehow expensive for begginers and no free account

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.

New developer with critical spirit but positive

Pros:

At the point you've understood the "phylosophy" it's easy to write the instructions

Cons:

Impossibility to keep a printed memory of all the development work. I'm used to keep a full listing of all my developments, but here it's impossible (or ther is sommething I've missed) The plugins are often badly documented and we spent many time searching exactly what it's doing and the way to use it

Easy to use

Comments: It is very good and like to design my new platforms.

Pros:

Easy to learn and use as professional developer but with no code.

Cons:

We hope More integration with mobile apps and support all the new technologies

A powerful tool to build, design, and launch MVPs or full apps

Comments: Bubble's capabilities make it an ideal tool for quickly testing and launching new ideas, allowing us to iterate and refine concepts rapidly. It can become expensive on the medium to long term.

Pros:

Bubble is a good choice for building MVPs or even fully-fledged web apps without extensive coding knowledge. In due time, after learning the platform non-technicals cancreate sophisticated web applications with relative ease. It's important to note that Bubble is focused on web apps and does not provide support for creating native mobile apps.

Cons:

Bubble has limitations, including no control over your code and data and inability to export your code. It has a learning curve, and designing responsive pages can be challenging. Depending on Bubble's platform can pose a risk in the event of technical glitches on their part. Not creating native mobile apps can be a drawback.

Bubble makes easier and faster something usually complex

Pros:

Bubble made me able to build an MVP in a few weeks which surely will make possible the commercial validation I need

Cons:

It was not so easy for me (not technical profile) to use or to build both a functional and pretty/easy-to-use product.

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.)
