A free plan covers building and testing. | Free plan; paid seat and hosting plans are priced separately Pricing is split in two. A seat plan (Free, Essential, Pro, Partner) controls editor access, AI tokens, code export and MCP access; a hosting plan (Free, Launch, Grow, Scale) covers WeWeb-hosted deployments, with limits on bandwidth, storage and app sessions. A seat plan is required before a hosting plan can be added, and self-hosted apps have no session limit. |

| Stack and frameworks | No-code visual programming: you build by pointing and clicking instead of writing code | Vue.js single-page applications, editable visually or extended with coded components |
| Auth and database | Managed database with separate development and live environments, plus built-in user management for signup and login | Supabase, Xano, Airtable, Algolia, SmartSuite and any REST API, with internal databases connected without replication; auth through Supabase Auth, Xano Auth, Auth0, OpenID, custom tokens or WeWeb Auth |

The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Bubble
Strengths
- Builds web and native mobile apps in a single editor
- Generates a complete app from one prompt with the AI app builder, then lets you refine it
- Large ecosystem of community-made plugins and connectors
Limitations
- Priced in monthly workload units, so a busy app's running cost rises with usage instead of staying fixed
- The free plan cannot run a live app on a custom domain
WeWeb
Strengths
- Exports the generated Vue.js source, so an app can be self-hosted and is not locked to the platform
- Connects to Supabase, Xano, Airtable, Algolia, SmartSuite and any REST API, including internal databases without replication
- Six documented authentication routes, from Supabase Auth and Auth0 to a custom token flow
- Official MCP server, so outside agents such as Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT can build inside a project
Limitations
- Seat plan and hosting plan are billed separately, so the cost of a project depends on both
- Code export and self-hosting require at least the Essential seat plan
- MCP access needs a Pro or Partner plan once the 14-day trial on a new workspace ends
- The MCP server does not expose plugin actions, so an agent cannot build with the Xano or Supabase plugins
- It builds the front end and expects a backend such as Supabase or Xano alongside it
