In their own words
Bubble
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.
NocoBase
NocoBase is an open-source, AI-powered no-code platform for configuring business systems and internal tools through a WYSIWYG interface. Its data-model-driven design separates page blocks and actions from data sources, while relational data, permission controls, an interface builder, workflow automation, and API access support application development. Built-in AI employees can be extended through plugins. Visual workflows use triggers, actions, integrations, webhooks, and HTTP requests. Authentication and integrations include API keys, SAML, OIDC, CAS, LDAP, and external databases. Private deployments do not need third-party communication by default, and the maker says it collects no user information. Community Edition is free with unlimited applications, users, and data volume, though branding remains. Standard is $800 a month, billed as a one-time lifetime payment; Professional is $8,000 a month.
