Which one is for you
Pick Bubble if
- Fits if you're building a full web app or a marketplace and don't write code
- Works for projects that need web, iPhone and Android apps on one shared backend
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're just starting, at $32 a month billed annually ($39 monthly) before your app can go live, and $59 for web and mobile
- Not for you if you build with a partner, as Free and Starter don't support collaborators; Growth at $119 allows 2
- Skip it if you want a trial with no card, since the 14-day one takes a $1 pre-authorization
- Watch out: each plan has a workload allowance, and going over means buying a tier or paying overages
- Tight if you run several projects, because plans are bought per project
Pick WeWeb if
- Fits if you want a web front end over your own database or API
- Works for developers who want to export and self-host
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1,000 sessions in total and no code export
- Watch out: GitHub sync and self-hosting start at $20 Essential
- Watch out: WeWeb Cloud hosting is billed per app and no hosting price is shown
- Pricey if you work with others: Pro is $50 and Partner $79 per developer
How we grade them
| 2.2GPABubbleFair | 2.2GPAWeWebFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DStarter is $32 a month billed annually for web only ($39 monthly), $42 mobile only, $59 for both. That puts it in the dearest tenth of builders here, which starts at $30, against a $19 middle. You pay per project, a second editor means Growth at $119, and workload overages sit on top of all that. | C$20 a month billed yearly for Essential is the category's middle. Hosting is billed per app on top, and Pro is $50 a developer. |
| Free plan and trial | CThere is a free plan and it never expires, with 50K workload units a month and both the web and mobile editors. But it's the development version: a live site, your own domain and an app-store release all need paying for. The 14-day Starter trial takes a $1 card pre-authorization too. | CFree: personal projects, 1M AI tokens a month, and a hosted app capped at 1,000 sessions in total. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job. AI drafts an app with a database and workflows, an in-editor Agent knows your pages and privacy rules and explains why something failed, and you keep visual control of design, logic and data. Native phone apps share the web backend. Branch version control needs Growth, so B. | CVisual editor, AI generation, API connections, workflows and code export on paid plans. Backend work happens in the services you connect. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and this is the steepest climb in the group. AI hands you a first version, then you're designing screens, defining custom events and workflows and setting privacy rules by hand in a visual editor. That's a real learning curve. | CNo store rating on record. A drag-and-drop editor with workflows and API setup to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BThe editor is a web app, with nothing to build in on desktop or phone. What it produces runs on the web and as native iPhone and Android apps on one shared backend. Plugins cover Stripe, Slack, Airtable and Zapier, and the API Connector is on the Free plan too. | BWeb app with API and data connections, an MCP server, GitHub sync and export to host anywhere. |
| Best for | visual control over an app's logic and data | visual web apps with code export |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
