Bubble alternative
Vibely vs BubbleDescribe it, keep the code
Build the app in plain language and get real React and TypeScript you can export and sync to GitHub, with native mobile apps on Pro and Business.
Start buildingLast updated
The short answer
Bubble is the most mature visual platform here: nearly 6 million builders by its own count, a built-in database, about 8,000 plugins, SOC 2 Type II, and AI that drafts a first version you edit visually. Its native mobile builder is in public beta. The trade-off is ownership: Bubble apps run only on Bubble and cannot be exported as code. Vibely writes real React and TypeScript you can export and sync with GitHub, plus React Native + Expo apps on Pro and Business. Pick Bubble if a visual editor is your long-term surface; pick Vibely for code you keep.

Where Vibely differs from Bubble
Code you own, not a platform app
Bubble's own manual says its apps run only on Bubble, with no way to export them as code. Every Vibely project is real React and TypeScript you can read, edit, export and sync two ways with your own GitHub repository.
Describe changes instead of wiring them
In Bubble the AI drafts a first version, then you build in a visual editor: elements, workflows and data types. In Vibely you keep describing what you want, the agent edits the files that need to change, and you can still point at the preview to adjust a specific element.
Credits, not workload units
Bubble meters server work in workload units, with overage charged per 1,000. Vibely bills credits against measured model spend while you build, and publishing is included on every plan.
Native mobile on a real backend
Both build native iOS and Android apps on React Native; Bubble's mobile editor is in beta. Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps on Pro and Business, in the same workspace as the web app and on your own Supabase project.

Switching to Vibely from Bubble
Vibely does not import a codebase built on another platform. You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Step 1
You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Start building freeStep 2
Connect Supabase to a project in a click and the agent takes it from there — tables, row-level security, and data access patterns generated from what your app actually needs. The Supabase integration is on Pro and Business.
Step 3
From the first message the output is real React and TypeScript, and you can connect that Vibely project to a GitHub repository and keep the two in sync from there. GitHub sync works on every plan.
Step 4
One-click publish to a live URL on every plan, with custom domains from Pro. On Pro and Business, Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps alongside the web app, from the same prompt and the same project.
Moving off Bubble
A Bubble app has no code export, so there is nothing to carry across to any other tool, Vibely included. Your data is a different matter: Bubble exports it as CSV or through its API.
Vibely does not import a project built on another platform, so moving means rebuilding the app here by describing what it does, then loading your exported data into the Supabase project you connect. Plan it as a rebuild, not a transfer.
The usual path is to keep the Bubble app live while you rebuild the version you plan to grow in Vibely. From the first message the output is real React and TypeScript, and you can connect that project to a GitHub repository and keep the two in sync.
