Bubble vs Lovable

Bubble is a platform for building web and mobile apps, with support for Android, iOS, and the web. Projects can use a built-in database, authentication, API integrations, and shared workflows and backend across web and mobile apps. Users can build before paying to launch. The Free plan includes one app editor, 50K workload units per month, and six hours of server logs. Native mobile apps can be published to the iOS and Android app stores, and production-ready apps include security scanning. Bubble can connect with services such as Stripe and Google Maps. A 14-day trial is listed; unless canceled, it converts to a paid Starter subscription. Starting that trial involves a temporary $1 card pre-authorization, which expires within 5-10 business days. Starter Web + Mobile costs $59 a month, billed annually; Growth costs $209 a month, billed annually, and Team costs $549 a month, billed annually. The maker is Bubble Group, Inc., headquartered in New York, NY, United States, and founded in 2012.

Lovable is an AI software engineer for building websites and web apps through conversation. Users describe an idea in plain language, refine the result, and deploy it; Lovable says no technical knowledge is needed. It handles hosting, SSL, and backend infrastructure, including a Cloud backend with database, authentication, storage, and edge functions. Connectors include Slack, Notion, HubSpot, and Google Workspace, and users can add custom REST APIs or MCP servers. A Figma plugin exports designs into Lovable for further development. Desktop downloads are available for macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel and Windows; the product also describes a mobile app for capturing ideas on the go. Security controls include SAML and OIDC identity providers, SCIM provisioning, server-side role permissions, encrypted secrets, and hosting regions in the EU, US, and Asia Pacific. A basic security scan runs on every publish, while deeper scans are available on demand; recurring scheduled scans are for Business and Enterprise workspaces. Free users cannot edit or download code or use custom domains. Pro costs $25 a month and Business costs $50 a month.
