Actually, no.

Bubble.io is a tool that has many use cases.

For most web applications, Bubble is a great choice and takes 20–40% of the time as writing and maintaining an app written using code.

And it’s great for production-grade Software as a Service apps, Marketplaces, eCommerce, Social Netwoks, or Enterprise Resource Management systems.

Our company Momentum Group has completed over $2mil of consulting work for clients building apps on Bubble.

We are building new conceptual ideas for funded startups, replacing SAAS with custom solutions for Small and Medium Businesses, and building enterprise systems for companies with thousands of employees.

Bubble.io is not a toy.

In the right hands, it’s a tool that allows you to build scalable web applications for almost any use case. At 20–40% of the cost of the same projects in code.

Bubble.io and people who can use it properly are in demand.

Check out our courses at Momentum Academy to learn how you can upskill and build production-grade apps without learning to code.

Where this story went

We spent five years mastering Bubble. Now we build with AI.

Momentum was one of the world's leading Bubble.io agencies — that's why we wrote this article. These days we build and migrate the same kinds of products with Claude Code: real, portable code your own team can amend with AI. If you're weighing up a move off Bubble (or any platform), we've made the journey ourselves.
