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.
Alternatives Considered:
Most user friendly no-code platform I know
Comments: I'm a developer since 2012 and started using Bubble in 2020. I fell in love for how fast I'm able to build prototypes for my ideias and how easy it is to develop on it.
Pros:
Easy to use and deploy apps. Good design editor for responsive pages. Has front-end and back-end features. Easy to integrate with REST APIs. Vast plugin marketplace.
Cons:
A bit slow for loading pages, specially on mobile. No native apps. A bit rigid on data manipulation.
Alternatives Considered:
Safari user signup doesn’t work
Comments: See other comments. Not really anything more to say. The safari issue has been ongoing for some time without resolution or date advised of when it will be fixed.
Pros:
Can do a lot without code. Leaning modules Full control over the design. Very flexible.
Cons:
Safari login password auto complete causes errors. This is a huge problem for us as close to 50% of our users are on safari and forcing to use Chrome is not a great user experience causing a lot of friction in the signup process. Support is slow or consistently directs us to the community forum.

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.
Alternatives Considered:
Powerful customizable no-code builder with minor performance issues
Pros:
• Extensive customization of the app design (changing layouts, colors, adding custom elements, changing elements conditionally, etc.) • Easy integrations with numerous external tools • Ability to quickly connect to external APIs • Ability to write or integrate custom code • Active Bubble developer community and extensive documentation • Ability to build progressive web apps using additional tools
Cons:
• Since I have experience in web development, some Bubble design features felt unnatural at first (e.g. not using standard CSS display options). However, I got used to it over time • Pages load quite slowly sometimes. I'm also using Webflow for another website that loads pages noticeably faster • As our database is getting larger, it sometimes starts loading extremely slowly. However, if I hit refresh, then the database loads at its usual speed
Alternatives Considered:
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
Alternatives Considered:
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.
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

Bubble Review
Comments: As a UI designer with limited coding experience, I've found Bubble to be an invaluable tool for creating functional and visually good web applications without the need to write a single line of code.
Pros:
I love most about Bubble is its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, which makes the design process seamless.
Cons:
I found Bubble's limited customization options to be a bit frustrating at times.

No code platform of choice
Comments: The learning curve was a bit steep at the beginning, since it has a lot of capabilities. But once I got the hang of it, I am really impressed the scale and complexity of apps it allows me to create without actually knowing how to write code.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
That in the backend workflow, I cannot set a "wait until previous step is completed" action. So, the workflow steps execute without waiting for the previous steps to complete. This results in workflow not being fully completed, before the response is being sent from the Backend workflow.
Alternatives Considered:
José ramon
Comments: I like it, I stared to use it two weeks ago and I already started a live project
Pros:
Al the possible things that you can do in the platform
Cons:
It’s hard to understand all the data queries
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.
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.
I am happy if we could create native app on the bubble.
Pros:
Easy to learn on how to set. We can shortage time to develop the site.
Cons:
I am happy if we could create native app on the bubble.
Great features BUT VERY COMPLICATED TO LEARN TO USE!
Comments: Very disappointed! I took 2 UDEMY courses to help, asked IT programmers to help (that too got confused with Bubble work flow), 6 4 months later & I’m still stuck in landing & sign up page ONLY! At first I used Appypie, BUILDFIRE & Appmaster (all much easier to use than Bubble, but with less features)
Pros:
Many available features that I wish I knew how to use!!!
Cons:
IT IS NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL! Claiming to be NO CODE should make it easy for anyone to use! Market your software for developers & coders!!! NOT zero IT background App enthusiasts!!!!
Bubble Review - Eva Analytics
Pros:
Easy to integrate with addons Fast Unlimited dtbd Easy to use AND scale
Cons:
Customer support. Not fast enough. Lack of multiple environments
Bubble
Pros:
it's really user friendly and has changed the way our team works for the better.
Cons:

Best choice ever
Pros:
No Code and simplicity and easy to manage
Cons:
Price of course 🥴 will be nice to have some discount
Easy way to build a functional prototype with some limitations
Comments: Bubble has helped me build a functional prototype, without needing engineering resources, which is great.
Pros:
It's an awesome platform that combines front end and backend development into one seamless no-code interface. Once you get the hang of basics, it's easy to put together quick prototypes of low complexity.
Cons:
Database editing and management is very cumbersome for anything beyond a basic hello world complexity.
Brad @ Career CNX
Comments: Great!
Pros:
Integrations with 3rd party appsnew responsive engine is SO CLOSE!
Cons:
UI of the editor and backend. listing workflows horizontally and not vertically is terrible. And the editor popup is always in the way in the workflow view. We need margin: auto!! new 'app data' view is bad - I HAVE to use the search function to find my 'thing'each 'view' should show the number of constraints it has. [just a little number tag to show if this is all of the users... or did I apply a constraint yesterday that I forgot about]
Validating my startup idea with bubble
Comments: Positive!
Pros:
- Intuitive and easy to use- Flexible - can easily integrate other services using the API plugin if you need to extend functionality
Cons:
Sometimes felt limited with the tools available for designing the front end. API connector plugin seemed glitchy at times.
Good but pricing changes may kill this
Comments: Good but the incoming pricing changes made me totally reconsider my futur use of bubble and I learned more about similar product and tried some
Pros:
Lot of possibilities and easy to use if you are a noob
Cons:
The new pricing plan is a killer, especially for new users
Most powerful nocode builder
Pros:
Bubble allows complex and scalable softwares creation without a line of code. Everything is set out of the box to ease and speed up the development like data integration, UI design tab, API connector...
Cons:
Would be nice to have the ability to select the database location especially for GDPR compliance concerns.
Bubble the best lowcode
Comments: an excellent solution for testing and analyzing hypotheses and new options in the product. the ability to quickly test a new option without going into conventional coding and using the central development platform. opportunity to save a huge amount of time and budget
Pros:
easy start, friendly interface, great documentation and support, great marketplace, easy scaling and great price
Cons:
So far, surprisingly, I have not found any cons

Bubble, a real hope for fast web development
Comments: I've been working with Bubble since March 2021. I love it. Everyday I learn new things. The support team is very efficient. This is very import when you develop on a daily basis. Things need to move fast and Bubble is really on point when it comes to helping you developping fast.
Pros:
I am now able to create a website in no time. Everything is very fast. There are still some issues to work around but Bubble gets better everyday and I heard you guys got some good money for research so my hopes are high for the future :D What I like the most? speed and reusable elements :D
Cons:
versioning!! Development and Live are fine. When you start dealing with more than that, this is still unclear if data is merged correctly. So many errors... if the SQL connector could allow us to put a dynamic value for our database connection string that would be awesome. Merges are a pain in the ... when you have different back Databases.
