Reviews of Bubble
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.
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.
Great for quick MVPs and full Enterprise-solutions. The more I use it the more I'm convinced how valuable bubble.io is.
Comments:
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
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
Alternatives Considered:
Why Bubble.io is highly over priced
Comments: The software is great except for the new responsive builder that's horrible and the extremely high hosting fees. Especially now that the rand/dollar has worsen. Imagine paying $16,000 dollars a month for your software. Does that make sense to you? That's what it's costing us and it's ruining our and many other business that are really good at developing software.
Pros:
It helps us build software for clients with way less developers on a project due to bubbles ease of use and speed to develop complex platforms.
Cons:
What bubble makes up in speed of development it reduces the scalability of it. Bubble is 10X more expensive than any other software we use. Bubble costs us more in hosting than our office rent making it almost impossible for us to sell it to a client and we have lost a lot of clients due to bubbles expensive rates.

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.
