Bubble has the deepest feature set for teams that expect their app to grow. It now builds web, iOS and Android apps, and its AI Agent, page generation and image generation run on AI credits, while app generation itself does not use credits. Hosting and processing are metered in workload units, which cover database operations, workflows and web interactions. The free plan includes 500 AI credits and 50,000 workload units a month with the API connector and debugger, but only a development version, so you need Starter to launch. Starter costs $32 a month billed annually and adds a live site, custom domain, 1,000 AI credits, 175,000 workload units, basic version control and security checks. Growth adds two editors and two-factor authentication, and Team adds five editors, branches and scheduled deployments. The cost is a steeper learning curve and two usage meters to watch, and plan AI credits reset monthly.
