Bubble is a visual app-building platform for people who want to create web or native mobile apps. It brings interface design, data modeling, workflows, and privacy rules into a visual editor, with a database, hosting, security, and infrastructure included for apps. AI-assisted generation and editing can help users get started, while the editor gives them a place to shape the app's pages and behavior. Bubble is for builders who want to develop an app without assembling every part of its infrastructure separately.
Projects can include web and mobile experiences that share a backend and database. This lets a team work on more than one kind of app experience within the same project, with workload use counted across its web and mobile apps. The platform also supports connections to external services, so an app can work with systems beyond Bubble.
What can Bubble do?
The visual editor covers the main parts of app development: interface design, data models, workflows, and privacy rules. Bubble's AI Agent can draft an app blueprint, then build pages, elements, a database, workflows, and sample development data with the user's approval. The generated work remains part of an app that can be edited in Bubble.
Bubble includes a database, hosting, security, and infrastructure for web and native mobile apps. Its API Connector links apps to external services, and Bubble's documentation also describes SQL Connector support. Bubble MCP beta offers another route for connected AI tools to interact with an app, subject to the user's permissions and plan capabilities.
- Design interfaces and model data in a visual editor.
- Create workflows and set privacy rules.
- Use the AI Agent to draft and build app components with approval.
- Connect external services through the API Connector.
- Work with web and mobile experiences on a shared backend and database.
Who is Bubble best for?
Bubble suits people building an app who want visual tools for interfaces, data, and workflows, alongside hosting and a built-in database. It can fit projects that need both web and mobile experiences connected to a shared backend. Teams can also consider it when they need to connect an app to external services or want an AI Agent to help draft app components, with approval before it builds them. The available plan editor counts may matter when comparing options for a team.

Limitations to know about Bubble
Plans have different workload-unit and AI-credit allowances, and the allowance applies across a project's web and mobile apps. The documented availability of workload add-ons is limited to eligible plans. Bubble MCP beta is subject to user permissions and plan capabilities. Enterprise pricing is contact-based rather than a fixed public amount. The verified product information does not specify other limitations, so confirm any requirements not covered by these details before choosing a plan.
Alternatives to Bubble
For a comparison with other app-building options listed on this site, see Appy Pie and Flutterflow. The verified Bubble facts establish Bubble's app-building capabilities, but do not document what these alternatives offer, so this listing does not make feature or suitability claims about them. Compare their own product information with Bubble's documented visual editor, web and mobile support, and shared backend before deciding which to investigate.
