"I love it! Bubble for MVPs is a must!"
5/5
What do you like best about Bubble?

Fantastic support and community!

Powerful editor.

You can build pretty much any app.

Great for MVPs.

Bubble changed my life. I quit my job to work as a bubble developer. I can build a tool in less than a week, test the idea and not get burned if it doesn't work.

I highly recommend it for startups! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

Honestly, I cannot think of anything. Everything that annoyed me was fixed or resolved by the bubble team. You can find any workaround with the freedom that the editor gives you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bubble?

Front end design as long as it is simple enough, ability to put together workflows with simple drag and drop and somewhat helpful logging functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

Too many black boxes ! I have been struggling to just get emails working with bubble for 3 days now. I have done all kinds of verifications but no emails are going ! Bubble support says ask SendGrid, SendGrid says 'we don't know' - at least give me another option other than SendGrid then ! Now my entire 2 months of work is struck due to this - imagine launching an app which can't send password reset emails. I removed the SendGrid stuff hoping Bubble.io emails will go. They are also no going !

Same with the data (thing) part. You do everything in parallel - that's fine. But I need some predictability on what you plan to do first. Simple Cascade delete in RDBMS took me 2 weeks to figure out in Bubble. Even now my app is shaky since inserting and deleting records take time. So for a few moments users do see inconsistent data.

"Not for Startups Not for Solopreneur"
0/5
What do you like best about Bubble?

used to have a great community, but most of them are leaving now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

Too expensive, don't really care about their small clients "Startups and solopreneur", they have increased their pricing 10X what we are paying now, and the way that you will be paying for your app is like punishing you for your users' engagement, so page view will cost you, if someone pressed a button it will cost you, and it is not even reasonable way it is way way expensive when compared to their competitor.

for example: Using Xano is 182 times cheaper, yes this is not a typo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rosalie Chang of Bubble

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out, and we’re sorry that you feel this way. We understand that changes in pricing can be disruptive, which is why we are providing an 18-month legacy period for existing customers; you’ll have the option to stay on your existing plan until October 1, 2024, with only a 10% price increase effective May 1, 2023. We feel confident that these changes will enable us to make Bubble even more valuable for you and the community in a lasting, scalable way. Additionally, with the recent adjustment to workload, most users should not expect to see anything close to a 10x increase in their total charges; I recommend reading (https://manual.bubble.io/account-and-marketplace/account-and-billing/pricing-plans/pricing-faq) to better understand the measurements and factors that contribute to the new pricing.

If questions arise at any point, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at support@bubble.io – we’d love to continue the conversation with you.

"Built my first app after only 1 month since I started to study bubble"
5/5
What do you like best about Bubble?

Very intuitive, easy to use and clear processes. The thing I love most about bubble is how I can continue building my app, to improve it in the development environment while my clients can continue to use the app without knowing that something else is cooking for them. And then with one single click, after you finish testing, the NEW becomes LIVE and everyone can enjoy the last features added to the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

I am still struggling with the desing. Making my app responsive is quite challinging to be honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredibly fast and powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about Bubble?

As a designer, this is the first time I feel so empowered, I couldn't find anything as powerful as bubble.io

Currently, we're building a two-sided marketplace where we allow users to upload their own content and we approve it before it goes online. It took us 6 weeks of learning and 8 days of working to build the entire marketplace and bring it online, we have tried to build something similar in the past and it took 3 months to find a suitable developer and another 3 months of building, you can imagine the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

It requires a few weeks to learn, but with anything this powerful, this timeline is nothing. Consider learning coding to get the same results, you need at least 2 to 3 years, not 6 weeks.

One thing I would improve is the designs, but I am picky since I am a designer :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best nocode tool in the world"

What do you like best about Bubble?

Everything is simple and didactic. Very fast learning and excellent performance. The fluidity of things, the simple and powerful database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

The only thing I wish Bubble had is a place to organize custom states, better. In Power apps, for example, there is a variable organization tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bad UI but great functionality"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Bubble?

I like that Bubble.io allowed me to create a front-end and log-in system for a logic and Database that I built in Airtable. However in Airtable it is hard to manage multiple users acessing and writing different data.

Thats why tools such as Softr and Stacker have emerged. But those tools are very restricted, so I used Bubble and also benefited from the many third-party Plugins available in the Bubble system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

It took me several attemps before I really got warm with Bubble. The beginning is just not that much fun. Furthermore, the UI just looks very old and unprofessional at times. But everything works fine, so it does not really matter too much.

Furthemore, the connection with Airtable could be better. Everything works, but sometimes I have to use some work-arounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

=Great no code tool

=super customizable *theoretically* Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble?

Black Box; terrible documentation and support

Too many critical functions work in a counter-intuitive manner without any heads-up about such "bugs" - without Petter Amile it would be a complete shit show. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rosalie Chang of Bubble

Hi Jacob,

I'm sorry to hear that our documentation and Support under-delivered for you (although yes, we too agree that Petter Amlie is fantastic!). We'd certainly love to help resolve any outstanding issues you are encountering.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team with any questions or feedback – any additional detail about your experience will help us to improve our product experience for you, as well as other Bubblers.
