Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

+Powerful enough for production apps, not just prototypes
+Free tier lets you build and test your entire app before paying
+Massive community with tutorials, forums, and agencies for hire
+Native mobile app builder alongside web apps

Weaknesses

−Steep learning curve — expect weeks to get comfortable despite being no-code
−Vendor lock-in: cannot export source code if you want to leave
−Pricing jumps quickly as your app gets more users
−App performance slower than custom-coded applications at scale

AI Features

Bubble includes an AI copilot that generates app scaffolds from text prompts — page layouts, database structures, and workflow logic. Useful for getting started quickly but limited for complex development.

STOA's Verdict

Bubble is one of the most capable no-code platforms and a strong fit for SMBs building custom web apps without developers. Ideal for founders validating MVPs, teams building internal tools, or businesses needing a custom SaaS product. The free tier is generous. Just plan your database carefully from day one.
