    Frequently asked questions

    Can I export code from Bubble?

    No. Bubble uses a proprietary visual builder with no code export. If you leave Bubble, you must rebuild from scratch. Appifex generates standard React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL code stored in your GitHub repo — deploy anywhere, hire any developer to continue.

    Does Bubble support native mobile apps?

    No. Bubble creates responsive web apps that can be wrapped in a WebView, but not native iOS or Android apps. Appifex generates true native React Native apps deployable to the App Store and Google Play.

    Is Appifex faster than Bubble for building apps?

    Yes. Describe your app in natural language and Appifex generates a deployed full-stack application in minutes. Bubble requires manually configuring visual workflows, database schemas, and responsive layouts.

    Why switch from Bubble to Appifex?

    Code ownership and native mobile. Bubble locks you into their platform forever. Appifex generates standard code that any developer can maintain, modify, and deploy to any hosting provider.

    Appifex is free during early access — no credit card required. Bubble's pricing starts at $32/month for basic features, scaling to $349/month for production workloads. Bubble also adds per-workload-unit charges that can spike unpredictably.
