[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/212479-Bubble/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/212479-Bubble/alternatives/) # Bubble User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.6/5 - Total reviews: 334 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.3/5 - Customer support: 4.3/5 - Value for money: 4.5/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 218 reviews (65%) - 4 stars: 100 reviews (30%) - 3 stars: 7 reviews (2%) - 2 stars: 3 reviews (1%) - 1 star: 6 reviews (2%) ### Most mentioned pros - It's a great product that allowed me to develop an MVP, reiterate, publish and release a fully functioning product. - The sheer speed that bubble allows for getting a MVP out there is game changing. - I am able to build software, which includes design (with brand colors through-out the app design), use databases to store data, connect with external and internal APIs. ### Most mentioned cons - I had a case in which one of our products was loading 1 milion times per month, and costs to host this on bubble were 10x what we ended up paying when we rebuilt the same feature in full code (node.js, +render web service). - 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. - 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. ## Bubble customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 334 (page 1). ### Great for quick MVPs and full Enterprise-solutions. The more I use it the more I'm convinced how valuable bubble.io is. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Niccolò F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Bubble is ideal for building well functioning apps in very short time. Once you master the basics, it's really easy to set up fully functioning programs and workflows in days, and not months. If you're looking to build Enterprise-ready apps, the bubble stack security features are a great asset. With bubble I was able to test different programs and solutions quickly, without having to pay thousands for a full stack developed solution #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros As a startup founder, I've been using Bubble.io for more than 2 years, from small prototypes all the way to enterprise solution that satisfied the strictest due diligence requirements. I've very rarely found technical limitations, and most of the time there's a workaround that allows you to achieve what you need. I've been able to set up APIs and connect with other systems in very short time The platform and support is growing like crazy. #### Cons Initially, it has a learning curve, but if you have a coding background, it's easy to get used to the bubble logic. Some procedures are a guess work. Sometimes it's not clear how to do certain steps, and documentation does not cover all the cases --- ### Incredible experience with Bubble - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ramy S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Bubble has changed the way I view building websites, it has created this space for me to develop and launch products without the need for developers, and it creates a sense of freedom I have never experienced as a founder since we began in 2012. Truly grateful for Bubble's existence. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It isn't a simple website builder, you can build Apps, Marketplaces, Platforms, etc. It's a game changer for how we will build incredible products online and digitally.Bubble removes the need for developers, creates a space to easily launch directly to users, and removes the gap between online creators and users like never before. #### Cons I truly wish the team would make it their number 1 priority to address the backend UI interface, especially when it comes to interacting with CRM data, it feels completely messy and confusing. As a designer, it some times shocks me how poorly it's designed, a simple look at Figma or even the not-so-great UI of Webflow makes Bubble look from the 80s in UI. It is time for a big improvement there, for the sake of it's current users and future ones. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Seemed great at first, but when I looked closely, it seemed it had a heavy learning curve, it's much newer than bubble with much much less resources, and almost no community.What drew me to Bubble was when I went to the forum and saw the amount of activity, and I knew I would get the support I needed there, because I figured it will not be so easy to learn bubble and I would need as much help as possible. #### Reasons for switching to Bubble Webflow's very limited, it's great for a e-commerce site or portfolio website, but that's about it.Bubble allows us to create a marketplace which has been our dream since 2017, glad to have bubble exist and allow us such an opportunity. Thank God. --- ### All in 1 visual programing tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Arnaud L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As a "non developer", it's been great to discover I could dev my own app without having to pay a dev to do it for me. Bubble is a very complete tool and needs quite a lot of training before being able to use all its potential but it definitely worth it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Bubble is a all in 1 visual programing tool : you can manage Design, Logic and database in the same tool which is very convenient. #### Cons There are still some limitation for "big consuming app" but bubble constantly evolve and performances get better and better. #### Reasons for switching to Bubble Sharetribe GO was very limited and Sharetribe Flex implies to have a dev in the team. As my users base grow, it is far too expensive regarding the capabilities of the tool --- ### No code platform with no compromises - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cameron R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Technology development is expensive, we have a team of over 30 tradition developers. Using Bubble we are able to empower citizen developers to build custom applications both client facing and internal staff tools without requiring months and tens of thousands of dollars in development.The platform is also great for building high fidelity mock ups and prototypes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We haven't hit a roadblock on features development in Bubble yet. Previously we would go through an ideation phase be limited by the functionality on previous no code/low code platforms. We are yet to experience limitation on any of our feature developments in Bubble.- The API connector makes it easy to integrate with other platforms.- The use of plugins allows us to fill any gaps that may exist with out of the box functionality- The new responsive engine allows us to quickly build elegant UIs that support desktop, ipad and mobile designs - Database management is made easy #### Cons - Debug mode is a little difficult to use and understand- Logging is very difficult to use- Deployment functionality works, but version history and control could use some more love- Current plans make collaboration a bit difficult. The price jump between Profession and Production is huge and quite often you want to have multiple app editors while you get your application up and running before it is production ready- Not easy to use your own custom backend, this would be a huge win for enterprise clients #### Reasons for choosing Bubble - More documentation and community feedback and engagement. - More customisation #### Reasons for switching to Bubble Lacked customisation for the UI, database management, and proper workflow management. --- ### Best No Code Platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Industrial Automation - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great and this will improve over time im sure #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros API Integration, Workflow management, Visual Design #### Cons Sometimes performance but i have small instances so i will test it more #### Reasons for choosing Bubble More flexible and free to design also API and forum #### Reasons for switching to Bubble More flexible and free to design --- ### Faster builds, more features with Bubble - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nate D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Never looking back! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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). #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Bubble was the only complete solution that tackle 98% of our needs in one platform. Every other platform I looked at could handle 50% of what we needed at best. --- ### Simply the best No-code tool and customer service on earth... - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Samuel D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience with Bubble could not be better. On top of the software which is probably the best on the market, the customer service is just amazing. They answer quickly, they provide detailed answers and they are nice. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I'm not a developer and I developed a complex APP on my own. I said it all. Bubble simply changes entrepreneurs' lives. #### Cons For me Bubble does not have cons but I must answer to that question. If you have no clue about coding, maybe it takes some time to understand how to use the software. Once you know how to use it, the possibilities you've got to create an APP are ilimited #### Reasons for switching to Bubble Goodbarber could not provide an in-purchase functionnality which was key for my project #### Vendor response Hey there! We so appreciate your thoughts and are thrilled to hear you're enjoying Bubble. Don't hesitate to reach out if we can assist in any way as you build and best of luck! Replied September 2021 --- ### Put simply, this is the future - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Raimundo L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Super good, it has allowed me to build a startup from zero. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Bubble is easy to learn and use, even if don't have any coding skills or knowledge. This customer support is super good and fast. Design and functionalities is notoriously customer/user-centered. #### Cons I'd like to have it on a Spanish version. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Bubble is the most complete option in the market. #### Reasons for switching to Bubble Bubble is way more complete and robust, for basically the same money. --- ### Best Full Stack Website builder - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Ease of use, database built in and good value for money --- ### Bubble is not a serious company, doesn't keep its promises and have a terrible support. - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Terrible. A waste of time and money. I am switching for a new nocode platform. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Bubble Because Bubble is not a serious and reliable company. --- ### Good job but continue improving your software to let us use it on a very long term - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Hervé G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Food Production - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It has been 4 years now that I am working on Bubble. It was a real opportunity to create proof of concept. But now that I am becoming an entrepreunor with more scalability problems. I have to admit that Bubble does not match these challenges coming so we plan to stop using it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Very easy to create apps , do custom stuffs. Very easy to go into Development through it , a very good community on your forum and good reactivity from the CS team. #### Cons Performance like I said, very poor for ecommerce and even for an app to use every day as a team. And the second on is hat we can read the DB fastly when it comes to advanced filters. We have to think about workarounds, which oblige us to store the data twice which is a lot of work. and even with that this is not that easy to do. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble I knew it perfectly and you can do custom dev more efficiently --- ### Best No-Code Platform for Building Applications - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andrew H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Bubble helps me make my web apps even without coding, I don't have to code anything.Everything is built and deployed directly from the same platform #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Bubble is a fantastic no-code tool; it offers a simple and user-friendly design #### Cons Larger projects are apt to have performance problems now and then --- ### Great tool, but it will frustrate you - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: David K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Insurance - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I am building two prototypes or MVPs for insurance system applications using Bubble, and have run into a lot of obstacles trying to get past the Bubble limitations. The Bubble coaching ecosystem is tremendously helpful in surmounting these obstacles, and we have been able to get past most or all of them - but only after spending days beating our heads against the wall until someone is able to put us on the right path. But once you get past the roadblocks, it seems like there isn't much you can't find a way to do. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Bubble is very powerful, and its model for building apps is good. It doesn't take long to get the basics down. The user community is really strong and helpful. And the fact that regular humans can write plugins for it is important (see the "what don't I like about it" section). #### Cons Out of the box, Bubble has some significant limitations. And my problem with it is that there are user built workarounds for many or most of them, but there's no intuitive way to figure out which limitations are absolute, and which can be overcome using plugins or wacky workarounds. Like - you can only upload 200 rows of data at a time to Bubble - unless you happen to know about a plugin that allows you to do unlimited uploads, but only by jumping through hoops that you won't figure out yourself until someone shows you how to get past it. Or - you can't take data in one data type and create different data types from it. Well, actually you can, but you have to use a backend workflow to do it, which is not obvious. Once you see it it's easy, but until someone shows you, you wouldn't think to try the solution. At least I and my team didn't. Also - I really wish they would use more standard language in their naming conventions - Bubble "data types" should be "tables", Bubble "things" should be "rows" (or even "objects"). It makes it really hard to describe what you are doing with people when we can't get a handshake on what the words mean. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Most flexible and (seemingly) easy to use. --- ### Incedible Bubble! Best in No-Code plafrom - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Srinivasa Ashok A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Omni channel experience for building an app/web. You have everything here! Very easy and intuitive workflows. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 1) The user interface is very friendly with lots of features in plugins, design elements, sequence tasks, drag-and-drop, APIs etc., making bubble to build a world-class no-code platform.2) A Huge number of templates can be used to build an app.3) The community is huge to support me when I am stuck4) All-in-one solution for no code. #### Cons The cost is a bit high when compared with other no-code platforms --- ### No-code development to solve almost any problem - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Gregor S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Without Bubble, my business simply wouldn't be able to respond as quickly to the changes our customers need & demand. Its features save me time and give end users an excellent experience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Bubble allows you to deploy software quickly, whether you're just creating a prototype, showing off a demo, or providing a full end-to-end experience.Need to change or update something? Fix it, deploy it, and end users simply need to refresh their page. Need to test something out? There's clear separation of development and live versions, and you can copy data easily between the two if you need to.It's also really simple to make mobile- & tablet-friendly websites using Bubble's responsive layout, or you can make mobile versions of pages and set up the logic to direct to these very easily.Bubble also handles databases, helps you keep them secure, and presents them to you in a user-friendly way so they're easy for you to structure on setup and get what you need out of them, either by searching in Bubble's backend or presenting that data to the user.It's also easy to integrate other products from across the web, with an API connector if you want to do it yourself, or thousands of community-provided plugins if you want really simple solutions. #### Cons Like all software, Bubble has its quirks to get used to. Want to clear certain things in your app (like a field in a database)? Well, the delete icon doesn't always fully delete; you'll need to find the 'Optimise application' button deep in your settings and fully delete there.Bubble also thrives on its plugins for the best functionality. However, plugins are a mixed bag: Bubble doesn't do much quality checking, so some just don't do what you need them to. Plugin documentation is often thin on the ground, or totally non-existent, even for plugins Bubble publish themselves. Sometimes documentation for a plugin is a 1,000+ post thread on the Bubble Forum - imagine searching StackOverflow, but every problem about that language was in one enormous thread - which makes it really difficult to find a solution for your problem. Relying on plugins also means Bubble is reliant on its community continuing to maintain these plugins; I hope that with time Bubble is looking to build in some of the features of its most popular plugins to the core app to secure both its own business and the workings of the businesses that make Bubble apps!Bubble are great with support queries, but feeding back anything that isn't a bug can be difficult. They have an 'ideaboard', where users can upvote good ideas, but it's unclear what priority these ideas fall under, or if they're in scope at all. The Bubble Forum is unreliable: many posts get no helpful replies, even fewer get replies from Bubble staff. --- ### Using bubble - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Geoffrey P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Again i love your product, i like the community - im trying to help myslef people (on the no code france slack) - #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great tool - api connector, flexibility, responsive design (the new one), plug in, community #### Cons unability to host your data in EU - this is very very important for EU citizen and it will become more and more important - Thing is (this is just my point of view) European people will use a side back end (xano, supabase...)or even airtable which is now working on EU office instead of using 100% of your solution. Your custom plan allow to select the region, but its quite expensive, so people work with another back end solution. I LOVE bubble and i invested a lot of time learning your solution so i want you to succeed as well. In the near futur data location will be very important for everyone (as you know better than me) and im frankly scared that you not make the move quickly enough so people will go with full other solutions and open source solutions. 2 more things : it would be great if the editor could run faster on google chrome - and last thing : as i told you, i invested a lot of time learning your solution, if you change your pricing and make a "per line" (as you tried few months ago) pricing, im scared you will lose a lot of people again #### Reasons for choosing Bubble French creator ;) ;) ;) ;)and flexibility --- ### Great to create your apps, especially if you are not a software engineer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rux D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Would be great to have more sophisticated visualisation options #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Ease of use Entry cost I could understand how to do things intuitively, not having a software engineering background. --- ### Most powerful no-code plattform - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Peter N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Bubble is making it possible for many many more entrepreneurs to market test their idea at far less cost and much much faster than using traditional techniques. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros With Bubble you get up to speed in no time, and you are able to extend the app with complex logic and external connections as your needs grow. #### Cons More control and insight into backend processes to make large scale apps robust. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Ability to build anything and connect to anything. --- ### Great way to test out working solutions and ideas - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Marc G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Having a tool like bubble is really great. There are only a few occasions where it hasn't been possible to use bubble but most of the time it's my go to tool for real life prototyping. Although there is no real support from Bubble themselves, there's a forum where you'll most likely find the answer to your problem. The forums search isn't great so i've found it's best to use Google to search the site. The UI isn't amazing but if you're used to wireframing tools such as Moqup then you'll get to grips with this pretty quickly #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Bubble allows me as a Product Manager to prototype working solutions that we can test with real users, without the need of a developer. This helps get feedback early on before we have racked up expensive development costs. The learning curve is steep, but once you've got the hang of how to work with Bubble most things can be prototyped with it. We're able to create new feature ideas that can connect to our main app. Existing users of our app can easily log into the prototype and start using the new feature. They're able to provide us feedback right away. #### Cons One of the limitations of Bubble is that the API Connector can't handle API Responses that contain nested arrays. This means we're unable to use Bubble when working with large data sets or to display graphs when using these types of API responses. Additionally the process of having to use API Workflows to save items to separate lines in the database can be a bit tricky. As we're not using this app on a daily basis it takes some time to refresh your memory on how to do this correctly. Also don't expect 100% accuracy in saving data to the database using this method. It sometimes misses out some of rows in the table, which can cause problems if you need a prototype that is completely flawless. #### Reasons for choosing Bubble At the time there wasn't any other tool out there similar to bubble. However, I'm aware that a newcomer called Adalo is available. I've tried this, however I returned back to Bubble as Adalo offered no API Connector, which is crucial for us to create functioning prototypes. However, having spoken to the founder of Adalo, I understand that the beta for this feature is coming soon. --- ### Bubble Developer - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros 1. Easy to Implement Designs 2. Number of Plugins 3. Easy to use components #### Cons 1. No Tour/Guide of backend workflows 2. SEO Optimization is bad 3. Can't copy resuable components from one project to another #### Reasons for choosing Bubble More Backend Functionality and custom APIs --- ### A game changer for non-technical founders - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lucas F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Environmental Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Bubble is one of those products that came along and changed my life. Before bubble, I was dependent on developers or low-functionality app builders. Once I discovered and learned to use Bubble, I was capable of building, from the ground up, a complete B2B SaaS web app that is now generating revenue for my company. It's easy to get started, the community and docs are fantastic, the ability to integrate with other systems is strong, and it is overall a great app dev experience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Bubble is easy to use, incredibly powerful, and unlocks capabilities for non-technical individuals that would take an experienced coder much longer to implement. The basic building blocks are rock solid and work together seamlessly on the platform (e.g. user management, databases, workflows, drag & drop design, API connections, privacy rules, etc). It's a fantastic experience and very powerful. #### Cons Most of these are being actively worked on, but some disadvantages are:- Managing styling and responsive design can be challenging- Debugging when using external tools/integrations can be difficult without access to system logs- When apps become more complex, managing large numbers of workflows/pages/data types can become somewhat cumbersome (note that this is when you have 30+ pages, hundreds of workflows, and 50+ data types) --- ### Bubble is the future if Web & Mobile development, I believe. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mubaraq I. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's been so surreal to me due to the fact that I've always wanted to know how to code, but I find it too difficult, now I can pretty much do a that a programmer can do when it comes to building apps #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the the wonders that the custom state can do, the more I learn about how to utilize this functionality, the more I want to jump on another project. Also, the availability of all kinds of plugins to ease integration and designs within Bubble. I love how intuitive every single thing is, it took me only two months to get a firm grasp of how Bubble works, you pretty much can build and design and deploy 90% of all the types of apps operating on the internet right now with Bubble, I mean social media platforms, property management, and you can also integrate with Open AI to build amazing things too. #### Cons I don't really have much dislike for anything, I'd just want Bubble to do something about speeding up loading time of editors with a lot of elements, I personally have found a way around that by using reusable elements, but other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with how Bubble works --- ### A good way to build an MVP - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We iterate MVPs from concept to deployment in Bubble for various startup product ideas #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros * user logins out of the box * can deploy an API in a few clicks * support for repeating groups / data * super great for getting from 0 to 1 for almost any app #### Cons Our biggest frustrations with Bubble are: * extent to which we have to copy and paste instead of reuse elements * lack of change management for custom code inside of modules, e.g., custom JS * currently there is no way to interact with GraphQL APIs * no way to get paid / priority support from team * some issues with point & click UI #### Reasons for choosing Bubble Bubble has more UI options --- ### Idea to MVP in 5 weeks! Great for start-ups with no tech co-founders - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Aviation & Aerospace - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. A great starter-tool to experiment with an idea for a micro SaaS product. Would not recommend for complex SaaS platform say for Blockchain or Industrial IoT #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Designing the UI/UX on figma and then simply importing it into Bubble is certainly the most developer-friendly feature I've come across. Apart from this, creating complex workflows with visual programming and drag & drop functions saves significant time and eliminates all the barriers to developing a web application. #### Cons Bubble is still in its nascent stages, so integrations and API calls are glitchy and lagging. It would have been much better if Adobe suite of products could be simply imported just like Figma. When importing an illustrator file, the format/palette all corrupts leading to a situation where you are forced to create all the UI again on bubble. --- ### If you are new to Web development or a n expert, No Code development on Bubble is a must have skill! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sachin M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
