Bubble Reviews 133

The builder is not up to expectations, and also won't refund me. Be very careful before opening a trial account with them. Your projects deserve better.

I would not recommend Bubble.io to anyone for the following reasons. Their support team often responds by saying that specialists are reviewing the issue, but it can take months to get a resolution. In many cases, the same issue reappears later and takes even longer to fix, requiring repeated follow-ups and causing delays.
Additionally, mobile apps built using Bubble can face rejections on the Google Play Store due to unexpected issues. Some media permissions are automatically added to the app build without clear control, and resolving these problems can again take months. This makes it very difficult to release updates on time.
If you are in the early stages of your product rollout, this lack of reliability and control can significantly impact your progress.

The AI is absolutely crap! It does not complete any tasks even though it claims is does. When you check nothing is working and nothing has been set up. I have lost over a week with this terrible system.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! You would be better of doing things yourself.

PURE SCAM !!! CHARGING EVEN AFTER DELETING ACCOUNT !!!

This experience is based upon integrity. I make this comments with the 1.6 rating in mind. The app building market suffers in a way that LLMs do not. Typically essay based generative AI feels collaborative, whereas an app builder demands a result. The problem with app builders will remain until somebody allows the agent to retain its structural focus with every generation. One could argue that across the market as a whole—it is not consumer ready. That being said I have used Vercel and Bubble and when it came to integrity there was no comparison. Vercel's AI argued itself into a legally untenable position whereby they could potentially face a damaging class action lawsuit. Bubble's AI was polite, efficient and apologised for the difficulties I had cancelling my trial. The AI put me through to a human promptly who offered to handle all the cancellations and did so upon approval. I gave 5 stars because in a subscription based business, operators abuse public trust to inflate the price of their business, effectively committing massive from but for small enough amounts that nobody notices. Bubble were not to know the my specialism is the architecture of class actions—and more importantly I never had to say. However, what I would say is that the people behind the company are not trying to steel from anyone; they reply, they are polite and they can be trusted. That is more significant than people realise moving forward. I didn't get to use bubble as I would have liked because the nature of my work opposed Bubble's security policies which is an ongoing issue with improperly calibrated corporate-centric AI across the board. My refund was NOT because the tech failed. My advice for users would be to compartmentalise project, resetting after x amount of iterations to allow the AI to retain context. Perhaps that may solve some of the issues. The other issue with this sector of the market is that valuations are weighted heavily on the AI's ability to fail. If the AI can produce the perfect app first time, the pricing would need to be heavily revised. That being said, you can trust bubble with your money and their customer service is excellent in my experience. They are one of he few companies that has not fallen into the trap of building a rod for their own back and were I to have requirements moving forward that fit within their safety limits. I would be use them feeling comfortable that I was dealing with a business of integrity. I also hope testimony such as this can be used to attract funding as right now the wrong companies are raising the big capital. Thank you Bubble for being honest.

It is a scam, I booked free trial for 14 day, in 3. day they booked from me 7 time. The product is a shit

I give up. I've had this app for a month now and getting a place to start is instantaneous, but debugging it and making it actually functional is a chore. I am not a programmer, and every time I get one thing working, something else breaks. For something that says "no coding required" a lot of coding is required. I'm searching for an alternative.

This a scam. Never see like this shirt saas

I was once a vocal advocate for Bubble, having built several large-scale, complex applications and an entire business dedicated to the platform. However, the last few years have seen a sharp decline in the quality of leadership at the C-suite level. There is a palpable disconnect: the team has stopped listening to power users, prioritizing unrequested "fluff" features over the functional stability the community actually needs.

The platform has devolved into a buggy, sluggish, and often painful experience. I have personally documented dozens of persistent bugs that have remained unresolved for years despite multiple reports. Eventually, the lack of accountability forced me to stop reporting them altogether.

The tipping point came down to three factors:

The Pricing Pivot: The new pricing model is both confusing and exorbitant. Users are now paying a premium to build on a platform that feels technically regressive.

The "1999" Editor: While the tech world has moved into 2026, the Bubble editor feels stuck in the late 90s. Game-changing features remain shelved while the team rolls out "laughably bad" AI integrations.

The Forum Purge: What was once a vibrant community hub is now a heavily moderated marketing front. I know of over a dozen power users—loyal champions of the product—who were banned and had their histories deleted simply for discussing the advantages of AI and alternative workflows.

I have since migrated most of my clients away from Bubble.io toward Claude Code and custom cloud-hosted solutions. Not only is the development cycle significantly faster and the UI more modern, but the overhead is incomparable; a single $5/month Hetzner instance now handles dozens of apps that would have cost a fortune on Bubble.

Bubble had the domain knowledge, the funding, and a loyal user base to become an industry titan. Instead, clueless leadership dropped the ball. The "power user" exodus is real, and for a company that once led the no-code revolution, it feels like it's now too late to turn the ship around.

Awful! The billing practice of the company is literally abusive. Once you opt in as a free trial, you can not go out! No help from their support.

Yeah no wonder why everyone is writing a bad review. It’s because of its predatory way of securing subscriptions and intentionally hiding a way to manage subscriptions(and cancelling subscriptions) on UI/UX. And maybe that is why the customer service is also so defensive about it. I hope you are happy because you managed to get few months of payments out of me. I pay for numerous software subscriptions and am used to different ways of companies trying to prevent cancellations, but it is my first time that I felt personally scammed by a company. Maybe the company doesn’t feel confident that the product provides sufficient value to the customers, so having to resort to its fishy ways. Hey Insight partners, if you see this review, I am just saying - reconsider the next funding round.

If I could give less than one star I would. I would particularly like to call out Charish, a “Technical Product Support Specialist” who for some reason is also their billing department. She is one of the most heartless customer support people I’ve ever come across. I signed up for multiple accounts accidentally and was charged for two months correctly (it was my mistake, I admit), then 8 months incorrectly. I was supposed to be charged monthly. I was charged twice in December, a third time January, and then I immediately canceled my account and was charged AGAIN on the day I canceled? For what? I can’t use the month you just charged me for. She simply sent me a link to the refund policy and pretended to care about my situation.
“ We truly understand where you’re coming from, we understand why you’d ask for a refund but there’s nothing we can do it’s POLICY.”

It was honestly humiliating. I came here to Trustpilot hoping I could tell people my experience but based on this company’s rating I can see you’ve all had similar ones.

I wish I could give a negative 5 star for this company. I signed up for a free trial for 14 days, and I was told they will send me a email reminder before the trial was over. I used the service for 1 day and never logged back in. I totally forgot about the trial and they ended up charging me.

I wrote to their support and asked them to review my account to see that I never even logged back in to use their services. But they declined to issue a refund.

Judging from their unfair practice and how shitty their platform is, DO NOT USE THIS AI. There are better options out there other then dealing with these SCAMMERS!!!

After trying due to free AWS credits, I deleted my app and gave up after one afternoon. One year later, there's a $50 charge against my credit card despite cancelling. Talking to their customer service is useless, you either get bounced to AI chatbots or they flatly state "no refund policy" - despite having nothing set up or in use!!

Tried to cancel a day or so after an auto recharge which I hadnt known about, requested refund which was refused. All very bad faith and money grabbing, there are far better alternatives available.

I have tried to cancel my account, written to Bubble, but no help. My password dosent work. When trying to change password, weather settings my own or settings a strong password, dosent work. I have prints from my communication, to prove I have done what I can do. Next step will be contact with Swedish authorities, to close this unfair company. Not possible to contact, is not a smart way, and does not harmony with “treat customer fairly “ very disappointed.

The billing policy isn't clear enough for me, so I immediately received a double charge for absolutely nothing. Just a bit of browsing and, as it turns out, I clicked the wrong button (twice). I wanted to start with Bubble, and I didn't want a refund, but rather a credit on my first real order. But that's not possible either.
Not smart, because they might have been able to keep a customer for free. Now i'm gone.

Canceling a subscription is extremely difficult. Even after attempting to cancel, Bubble continued trying to charge my card for months.
The experience is frustrating and unacceptable. Bubble is expensive, and once you activate a trial plan, you are unable to quickly remove your payment method or delete your card details from their system. Cancelation is not straightforward and requires repeated manual email requests.
Despite these efforts, I continued to receive weekly charge attempts without my explicit authorization or consent. This creates serious concerns about billing practices and customer protection.
Overall, this has been a horrible experience, and I would strongly advise others to avoid this platform

Doesn't do the job as advertised. Falls very short. They charge for trialing some basic features. Subscription cancellation seems deliberately obstruse.
