Bubble vs FlutterFlow
Use Bubble if you want to build and host a data-driven web app, with the option to add native mobile apps on a shared backend; use FlutterFlow if you want exportable Flutter code and more control over how you develop and deploy mobile, web, or desktop apps. Both offer visual builders, free plans, integrations, and paid app-store publishing. The deciding question is whether you prefer Bubble’s integrated backend or FlutterFlow’s code export and external-backend options.

Which should you choose?
Choose Bubble if
- Teams building data-driven web apps with an included backend
- Builders who want web and native mobile apps to share data and workflows
- Founders who prefer visual workflows without managing a Flutter codebase
- Projects that need Bubble-managed hosting
Choose FlutterFlow if
- Teams that need to download and extend Flutter source code
- Builders already using Firebase or Supabase
- Projects targeting mobile, web, and desktop
- Teams that want GitHub integration and real-time collaboration on Growth or higher
The verdict
Pick Bubble when an included database, workflows, and hosting are central to your project, especially if your web and mobile apps should share one backend. Pick FlutterFlow when downloading the app’s source code, working with Firebase or Supabase, or extending a Flutter project matters more. Compare the plan for the platforms you intend to launch: Bubble prices Web, Mobile, and Web & Mobile separately, while FlutterFlow’s paid tiers unlock features such as code download and app-store deployment.
Bubble vs FlutterFlow: common questions
- Should I choose Bubble or FlutterFlow for a web app?
- Choose Bubble if you want web hosting, a database, and backend workflows in one platform. Choose FlutterFlow if you want a visual web builder with the option to download and work on the generated Flutter code on a paid plan.
- Can Bubble and FlutterFlow publish native mobile apps?
- Yes. Bubble supports native iOS and Android apps through its mobile builder and requires a paid Mobile or Web & Mobile plan to publish them. FlutterFlow offers one-click Apple and Google app-store deployment on Basic and higher.
- Can I export the source code from Bubble or FlutterFlow?
- FlutterFlow lets Basic and higher subscribers download their project’s Flutter source code. Bubble says its visually built apps run on the Bubble platform and do not have a traditional app codebase to export; it offers data export and can provide application logic as JSON for migration.
- Do Bubble and FlutterFlow include a backend?
- Bubble includes a database, backend workflows, and hosting. FlutterFlow publishes integrations with services including Firebase and Supabase, so buyers should plan for their chosen backend as well as the FlutterFlow subscription.
- What can I launch on the free plans?
- Bubble’s Free plan supports building and testing, but a paid plan is needed to deploy a live app. FlutterFlow’s Free plan supports web publishing for up to two projects; app-store deployment and code download require Basic or higher.
- How do Bubble and FlutterFlow prices compare?
- Bubble lists Starter at $32/month for Web, $42/month for Mobile, or $59/month for Web & Mobile when billed annually. FlutterFlow lists Basic at $39/month with monthly billing. The plans include different platforms and features, so the starting prices are not like-for-like.
- Which offers better options for a development team?
- Bubble lists two app editors and ten custom branches on its Growth Web & Mobile plan. FlutterFlow lists up to two editors, real-time collaboration, GitHub integration, and two open branches per project on Growth. The better fit depends on whether the team needs Bubble’s shared backend or FlutterFlow’s code workflow.
- Can I use a custom domain with either product?
- Yes. Bubble includes a custom domain for a live web app on Starter and higher. FlutterFlow includes one custom-domain connection on Basic and higher; its Free plan publishes to FlutterFlow subdomains.
