You can start by building your app on our Free plan and then upgrade whenever you’re ready to deploy to Live or access additional features.
Bubble operates on a per-app subscription model, where each application requires its own paid plan and is billed separately. Users are encouraged to manage their app subscriptions carefully, as free trial plans for unused apps should be downgraded or canceled to prevent unexpected charges.
The Free plan is ideal for prototyping and building smaller apps, offering core features to help you get started quickly without any upfront cost.
The Free plan also offers the flexibility to upgrade seamlessly to access advanced features or deploy your app to Live, making it ideal for experimentation and testing without committing to a paid plan.
Bubble operates on a usage-based pricing model that utilizes Workload Units (WU). These units measure resources consumed during app operation, such as database queries, workflow processing, or data transmission.
By using the App Metrics dashboard, you can monitor your app's workload and ensure your current plan aligns with your usage needs. If your app exceeds its workload limits, you have the option to purchase additional workload tiers.
For web-only applications, the Starter Plan begins at $32/month. For web and mobile applications, the Web + Mobile Starter Plan is available at $59/month when billed annually or $69/month when billed monthly. Additionally, for apps with advanced scalability needs, custom Enterprise plans can be tailored to your requirements.
