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.

  1. Step 1

    You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.

    Start building free
  2. Step 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Vibely writes real React and TypeScript you can export, edit and sync to GitHub, where Bubble apps run only on Bubble. You build by describing the app rather than wiring it in a visual editor, and on Pro and Business the same workspace builds a native React Native + Expo app on your own Supabase project.

When nobody on the team wants to read code and the visual editor is where the product will live long term. Bubble is mature, with nearly 6 million builders by its own count, about 8,000 plugins, built-in branches and permissions, SOC 2 Type II, and dedicated hosting on Enterprise. Vibely holds no SOC 2 report.

No. Bubble's manual says its apps can only run on the Bubble platform and cannot be exported as code; you can export the data as CSV or through Bubble's API. Vibely does not import other platforms' projects either, so moving means rebuilding the app in Vibely and bringing the data across.

Yes. Bubble builds native iOS and Android apps on React Native and publishes them to the stores; its mobile editor went into public beta in June 2025 and its plans price web and mobile separately. Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps on Pro and Business, alongside the web app in one workspace.

Bubble's pricing, read on October 8, 2026, starts at $29/month for a web-only Starter plan billed yearly, with server usage metered in workload units; web plus mobile plans start at $59/month. Vibely has a free plan for web apps, with mobile included from Pro; current prices are on the pricing page.
