Bubble is the builder we would point most founders to when the app is the business. It gives you a visual editor, a built-in database and a workflow engine, so you can model users, payments and custom logic without writing code, and an API connector for outside services. A single project can now hold a web app, a native mobile app or both, and the mobile side runs on React Native with access to the camera, push notifications and location. The Free plan includes 50K workload units and 500 AI credits a month, which is enough to build and test. You pay when you launch: web Starter costs $32 a month billed annually and adds a live site and custom domain, while Growth at $119 adds 2 editors and two-factor authentication. The trade-off is usage billing, since busy apps can need extra workload units, and the editor takes longer to learn than simpler tools.
