Bubble Reviews & Product Details

The ease of making changes; it's as easy making few clicks. the database is also easily manipulated to ensure that you can iterate without hassle. Compared to competitors Bubble offers an amazing front and back end solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you cannot use front end loops limits the ability to perform some tasks efficently. For example it is very difficult to manipulate on page data, that can then be processed with backend workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am able to tackle business challenges with fast solutions. I am able to do things with Bubble that I never have been able to figure out as a non-coder. It's such a powerful platform, and the learning curve was nothing compared to all the time I've spent over the years trying to learn to code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the documentation was a little more complete, with deeper insight into the way certain processes are happening and why. It's an area that is getting better, but I still often find myself scouring the forums for clarification and workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bubble.io truly stands out in the vast sea of no-code platforms, and the reason is its unparalleled flexibility. While many platforms lock you into specific templates or workflows, Bubble gives you the freedom to craft web applications tailored to your vision.

The drag-and-drop interface is intuitive, but its depth goes beyond the surface. You can customize almost every element, embed third-party integrations, and even get down to granular conditional actions and workflows. It's a game-changer for both beginners and those who have dabbled in code before but want to speed up their development process.

In essence, Bubble.io doesn’t just hand you a tool – it hands you an entire toolbox. This flexibility empowers users to build anything from simple landing pages to complex web applications without ever touching a line of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning Curve: While Bubble.io is designed to be a no-code platform, there's still a learning curve, especially if you're diving into its more advanced features. Some might find it overwhelming initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform enables high-quality web app development with surprisingly sophisticated capabilities. The built-in database makes it quick and easy to get started. Great documentation and an enthusiastic online community of experts with many free tutorials. The Bubble support team is also quick and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sophistication of the platform is excellent but it comes at a small price. It's a very comprehensive interface and takes time to become acquainted with the massive number of features. But, if you are prepared to put in the time, it's well worth the investment as you will be rewarded with extensive capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am unsure where to start, so let's try it like this: I have not seen/used any no-code tool that is as flexible and powerful as bubble. And more -many of these tools you can build yourself using bubble. 🤯

✔ You can learn it quickly

Do not get me wrong here. Bubble has a learning curve and you can always learn more. It is not "easy", like a simple form builder. This tool can be used for everything. You work with databases and APIs, design the front-end, and you will also use code sooner or later. This is why there is a difference between working with a dev/agency that "knows" bubble and people who "use bubble every day for a couple of years".

But the cool thing is, you can already create something very valuable after a couple of hours. So no matter who you are and what your background is, you can start building something that works and provide real value really quickly.

✔️It is very powerful

With bubble, you can genuinely create excellent products. You can have whatever background, but you will be able to build a software product on your own. I built tools for internal processes and products for vast numbers of users, from bootstrapped small businesses to venture-backed startups. And all these products work.

✔️Community

I use many tools, but I have to say there is no community like this out there. You will truly have a good answer to your questions within minutes. There are many crazy talented people out there building plugins and templates and creating training materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super expensive to host in the EU. Seriously, this is a problem and has to change. Other tools can do this for a fair price 👎👎👎 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very powerful, sky is the limit when building apps. Bubble combines both the front and the back layers of apps, so that you need only one tool and can integrate with unlimited third party apps using API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve, not so easy to use at the beginning, but after a couple of day I was able to create my first simple app. The documentation is heavy but the community and forum help a lot to perform well with Bubble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is amazing what you can build in Bubble. The issue is not what "can" Bubble do but how reliably it can do it. The longer you use the platform the more you experience weird data issues because the platform search capability stops working or you do an operation on a list of things without leaving the required 5 seconds between operations (yes, 5 seconds).

Originally, I would have suggested that Bubble was good for an initial startup trying to validate its market fit. 5 years into it and I can no longer agree. This week Bubble unveiled new pricing that made its platform 8 times more expensive for many people. After years of building a non-performant system, they decided to change pricing models that charge from a fictitious measurement called a work unit. So now, the platform users are being charged for the resource time the poor system design requires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easily customizable front-end with moderate skills needed to run back-end Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of the app compare to standart development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We could build 3 iterations of our product without being developers ourselves.

It gets you from idea to design, then to working product in a matter of days, not months, with traditional software development.

Helps manage user signup, login, and complex database objects; if you change one variable name, nothing breaks. It just propagates the change throughout your app.

Bubble also eliminates the need for a separate hosting infrastructure to enable your app/website to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The database component is relatively basic, and you can't do data visualization and transformation at the level needed for more complex ELT/ETL pipelines. Uploading data in bulk is a significant pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bubble's speed of deployment enables rapid prototyping and proof of concept. A healthy ecosystem of third-party plugins helps to fill gaps in the main editor's offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've found that once development on any project has reached a certain point, the limitations that once helped focus concerns, become a hinderance and implementing features not offically supported requires convoluted work arounds or custom extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
