Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the pricing, finding it too expensive for the functionality offered and often unclear, leading to unexpected charges. People also reported issues with subscriptions, including difficulty canceling and being charged after trials or for multiple projects without realizing. The payment process was a major concern, with many experiencing problematic billing practices, discrepancies in charges, and problems with credit card payments. Some people found the user experience unintuitive, with the app being difficult to use and prone to glitches, leading to lost work and frustration. However, a few other people also felt that the app works well for those without professional development skills and can be useful for building apps or websites.

Their support is non existent

Their support is non existent. I asked to cancel my subscription before free trial ends and they keep trying to charge my card. I asked many times an many different "support" e-mails and receive generic replies on all of them.

Signed up for the "free 14 day trial"…

Signed up for the "free 14 day trial" and then asked them via support to cancel it.

They say in their support documentation that they will do it for you. Instead I got sent a canned response that I could do it myself.

There was no option to cancel, only move to a "zero dollar plan" despite the fact that the knowledge article specified that there was a button to cancel. There wasn't.

Support is awful and they scam you out of money during the supposedly free trial.

Trials or subscriptions are complete scams

There is no information on your account page that details when your card will be billed or how to cancel, even though they say in their terms:

c. Cancellation. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time by going to the “Plans and Billing Information” section of your “Account” page

Was charged out of nowhere $30 after a free-trial. I had messaged them before asking to cancel, and got no response. If there's no option on the website to cancel, and customer service never responds, then they can very easily scam users. The "24/7 support" claim is a joke, not heard from them once.

Very bad

Very bad. Using a template will hiddenly activate the trial plan. There is no way to cancel the trial except to delete the template. Then it will charge your credit card lots of amounts that make you feel robbed.

Don't try it

Terrible support.

Support on a personal plan ($29 per month, before the increase announced for next month) is terribly slow and most of the time useless. They claim it to be 24/7 support, however this only applies to the first level of support, which is made of non-technical people. If you have an issue that requires the help of someone who can actually use Bubble, they escalate the issue to Tier 2, which only works Mon-Fri, 9AM to 6PM.
This is ridiculous for a service that it's mostly used by business owners. Most of the time you will be on your own. Good luck

Limitations in Bubble: Missing Features for Handling Multiple Images and Objects

The first feature that appears to be lacking in Bubble is the ability to upload multiple images at once. From what you've mentioned, it seems that this feature is not correctly handled, which can be a significant inconvenience for users who need to upload multiple images frequently. Uploading images one by one can be time-consuming, and it can slow down the workflow. This limitation may make users consider alternative platforms that offer a more efficient way of uploading multiple images.

The second feature that you've mentioned is the inability to save multiple objects or things at once. Users would require a recursive workflow to save multiple objects, which can make the app slow. This limitation could be frustrating for users who need to save multiple objects frequently, as it can significantly slow down their workflow. Recursive workflows can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, which may lead to frustration and dissatisfaction among users.

Overall, the lack of these two features can impact the usability and user experience of Bubble. Without a proper way of uploading multiple images and saving multiple objects, users may face difficulties and limitations that can hinder their productivity. It is crucial for Bubble to address these limitations and provide users with a more efficient and convenient way of handling these tasks.

Typical SaaS - Just Wants Your Credit Card

Very limited functionality. They just care about charging your card.

Like most fast play SaaS, this product is built around marketing and buy flows that make it hard to find out how to actually trial the product without getting charged. Don't waste your time with a trial. You're gonna end up paying for it and they won't refund because they just care about a fast buck.

Bubble is good but not for media rich apps

Bubble is a no code app builder that will help you develop an MVP or an internal tool for your company quickly.
What I didn't like about it, is that some of the most important features like media management is not well integrated. On bubble, you cannot find a component that enables the user to upload multiple images for example, resize and compress them in the browser.
Finally, if your app is media heavy, the most expensive bubble plan offers you 50 Gb which is not enough for any serious app.

Horrendous software

Horrendous software - Software doesn't work at all. Also, I had canceled my account - they still charged my card - dark payment patterns, you cannot figure out where your billing and cancellation options are

Spreadsheet killer

Bubble is an exceptional tool for developing apps and web systems. Incredibly powerful, modular and with a great capacity to bring functional and extremely useful products from the universe of ideas.
I strongly recommend its adoption, not only for MVPs, but also for large production systems, automation and especially SPREADSHEET REPLACEMENT.

Incredibly impressed and happy

I am incredibly happy with Bubble, it literally feels like God sent, it is the first time I find a product that actually empowers me to this extent. I am literally able to build entire complex websites like in-demand marketplaces, and sites like Airbnb, with no-code.

I have been using Bubble for 6 months, and before that I have lots of experience with Wordpress/WooCommerce (3 years), Webflow (3 years), Squarespace (1 year), and 5 years of developing sites with JS. And the worst of them is working with developers, not because developers are bad, it's just much harder to translate what you want and get them to think it through. With bubble, I can find the answers myself and do them, think of it like Microsoft Excel, what's easier, you putting a calculation together and managing it (if you knew how) or asking someone to code and waiting for every feedback to be implemented and the constant back and forth?

That said, bubble is not perfect and has some flaws, for example the UI can be more UX friendly, and some features can be improved like SEO, but there are workaround those and in time I imagine Bubble will either fix it directly or would have powerful integrations that do that. And I would any day be willing to live with it's small setbacks, since the return of benefits is insanely high. Truly glad bubble exists.

Bubble is an easy to use tool

Bubble is an easy to use tool for websites with simple functionality. I haven't used it for anything complex but you could easily recreate sites like AirBnB, Facebook, Etsy and other top platforms.

Bubble.io is extremely expensive, full of scammers

Bubble.io is extremely expensive once you go into paid plan. They will punish you for not knowing coding.
second problem:
Bubble.io have started pandering to minority hires of USA resulting in full of scammers left and right.
Stay Away!!
Save yourself time and money. There are better options out there.

Bubble is a great no-code framework that can be used to develop any web application, platform, website, or mobile web apps. You can build nice user interfaces, business logic, integrate with payments, and much more without writing a single line of code.
