Claim this listingFindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
Shortlist Bubble if you are a non developer founder or a small team that wants a real database backed web or mobile app live without hiring engineers. Before paying, build the core flows on the Free plan and watch the workload meter, because monthly cost tracks how efficiently the app is built, not how many people use the editor.
Read the full verdict
Billing is in dollars with no GST invoice wording we could find, and every charge is non refundable, so start monthly until usage settles. Against hiring a developer or using a code first stack, you trade a steep learning curve and lock in to Bubble's hosting for speed to launch; if you only need a simple internal tool or form app, a lighter builder will cost less.
FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 9 public sources visible for buyer verification.
In short
Bubble is listed under No-code App Builders, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹3,109/mo for a GST-registered business ($32/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). FindThatSoftware rates it best for non developer founders launching a web app MVP; a poor fit for founders who need a predictable monthly software bill, because workload units track app activity and workflow efficiency rather than headcount.

Registered business, per month, billed yearly
₹3,109
Bubble advertises $32/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹3,109 a month (₹37,304/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹3,668 a month.

More
Every paid plan includes a workload allowance, and usage above it is billed as an overage on a separate month end invoice unless you disable overages, in which case the app goes offline until the next period. Bubble's policy is that subscriptions and charges are non refundable, including a trial that converts to paid.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

Audit your spendWho Bubble fits
What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.
What is Bubble?
Bubble is run by Bubble Group, Inc., a New York company. It lets you build web apps and native iOS and Android apps without code, using a visual designer, a built in database, visual workflows, an API Connector and a plugin marketplace, with an AI Agent that can generate and edit apps. It is fully hosted on Bubble's cloud and priced per project, with plan types for Web, Mobile or Web plus Mobile, so one project can share a backend across both. Usage is metered in workload units and AI credits, the Free plan only runs a development version, and you need a paid plan to put an app live or publish to the app stores.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- The Free plan has no time limit and comes with a working allowance of workload and AI credits, so a full prototype can be built before paying anything.
- One project can carry a web app and native iOS and Android apps on the same database and workflows, under a single Web plus Mobile plan.
- Workload alerts go out at 75 and 100 percent of the allowance and on short term spikes, and you can add your own thresholds, so runaway workflows are flagged early.
The catch
- Billing is in US dollars by card through a New York company, and we found no GST invoice or GSTIN wording, so input tax credit is uncertain for Indian businesses.
- Cost is metered in workload units, and above the allowance each additional block of units is billed as an overage, so a badly built workflow raises the bill.
- Bubble's policy is that all subscription charges are non refundable, including the first charge when the Starter trial converts.
- The trial only applies to new apps started within ten days of creation and needs a card pre authorization, so older free projects cannot be trialled.
Best for
- Non developer founders launching a web app MVP
- Small teams that need one backend for web and native mobile apps
- Agencies building client apps on a no-code stack
Who should avoid it
- Founders who need a predictable monthly software bill, because workload units track app activity and workflow efficiency rather than headcount.
- Teams running heavy scheduled or background jobs, because backend workflows consume workload units and Bubble documents them as a standing optimization target.
- Indian businesses that need a GST invoice to claim input tax credit, since Bubble bills in dollars from the US and does not mention GST.

Bubble questions
Does Bubble give a GST invoice in India?
- Whether Bubble issues an India GST invoice is not verified yet. Foreign-billed tools usually don't, in which case a registered business reclaims GST via reverse charge; confirm the vendor's billing before you buy.
Is Bubble good for Indian small businesses?
- It suits non developer founders launching a web app MVP. It bills in a foreign currency, so expect the card forex markup on every charge. It is not the right pick for founders who need a predictable monthly software bill, because workload units track app activity and workflow efficiency rather than headcount.
Does Bubble have a free plan?
- Bubble lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
