Bubble

Overview

Bubble is a no-code platform for building web apps and native mobile apps in one visual editor, by pointing and clicking instead of writing code. Every app comes with a managed database, separate development and live environments, and built-in user management for signup and login. A large ecosystem of community-made plugins extends what apps can do, and Bubble's AI app builder can generate a complete app from a single prompt, which you then refine in the editor.

Best for founders and teams that want to build and launch a full web or mobile app without engineers.

Bubble is the most established name in no-code app building, and the breadth shows: one visual editor covers web and native mobile, a managed database and user accounts come built in, and a large plugin marketplace fills the gaps. The AI app builder turns a prompt into a working app you then refine by hand. The tradeoff is a real learning curve and usage-based pricing: apps are metered in monthly workload units, so cost tracks how hard the app works rather than staying flat.
