Another year of Bubbling has wrapped up, and what a year it’s been. In 2025, you shipped products that real people use every day. You answered questions on the forum that helped someone get unstuck. You experimented with AI, tested mobile features, and built workflows that showed how powerful visual development can be — especially with great ideas behind it.
This is our moment to celebrate that. Whether you launched your first app or scaled to thousands of users, whether you helped one person on the forum or mentored dozens, you made this year what it was.
Let's look at what we built together.

The Bubble community continued to grow and build at an incredible pace in 2025. Here's what we achieved together:

Your personal Bubble stats
If you were active on Bubble in 2025, we also pulled together stats about your building journey. Check your email to see your editing streak, apps built, favorite day to Bubble, total app views, and more. Plus, if you spent time with AI or mobile this year, those milestones are waiting for you too.
Don’t forget to screenshot and share your stats on social media with #BubbleWrapped2025 so we can celebrate your building milestones.
Celebrating the 2025 Community Awards winners
Every year, we ask the Bubble community to help us recognize the builders who go above and beyond to make this community what it is. The nominations and voting was open to the entire community — anyone with a Bubble account — and more than 1,000 of you cast your votes across four categories, with each person voting for one favorite per category.
The community voted, and we're happy to share the winners of the 2025 Bubble Community Awards with all of you.
Agency of the Year: RapidDev
A Bubble Gold Agency that's been consistently delivering exceptional work for years. Clients from around the world rallied behind them to help secure this year's win. Congrats, RapidDev!
Freelancer of the Year: Sarah Esteve
A veteran Bubbler who's highly respected across the community. You'll inevitably find Sarah involved in the big moments happening with Bubble in Europe, from conferences to summer hacker retreats. Congrats, Sarah!
Founder of the Year: David Bressler, Founder of Formula Bot
David turned an idea into a thriving business that's now served over a million users — all built on Bubble. From a laptop and a viral Reddit post to where Formula Bot is today, his journey shows what's possible when you commit to your vision. Congrats, David!
Community Champion of the Year: George Collier
George's reputation precedes him: Always helping in the forum, sharing Bubble build tips on social media, and being the kind of dependable, friendly developer everyone's lucky to have around. Congrats, George!
Congratulations to all of this year's winners. Your work inspires us all.
Bubble Tour and other events connected builders around the world
We took Bubble on the road in 2025 with events in São Paulo, Rio, London, and Paris. Hundreds of builders came together to see product announcements first, hear from successful founders, and connect with fellow Bubblers. We also saw Bubblers join watch parties and community meetups across the globe.
In fact, we listed 59 events on our community page this year, most of which were organized by the community itself — that’s more than one per week all year!
The energy at these events reminded us why we do this work. There's something special about meeting the people behind the apps and seeing this community come to life beyond the screen.
We focused on helping you build and scale
Apps built on Bubble transacted over $1 billion in the last year. That's real businesses serving real customers, and we wanted to make sure our platform could keep up with where you're headed. This year, we focused on combining AI speed with the visual control you need to actually finish what you start and scale to real users.
Building faster with AI that doesn't leave you stuck
In October, we introduced the Bubble AI Agent, a building partner that understands your specific app. To celebrate this launch, we ran the Bubble AI Hackathon with Anthropic, where builders created AI-powered apps and competed for prizes.
The Agent can troubleshoot your workflows, generate elements that follow Bubble best practices, and walk you through the steps for anything it can't build yet, all the while without leaving your project.
Everything stays visual and editable, so you're never trapped by code you can't understand. We also brought AI generation to native mobile apps, making it faster to get your iOS and Android apps into app stores.
Reaching users on every device
Since launching native mobile development in June, you've created more than 180,000 mobile apps on Bubble. Just like with the AI hackathon, we marked this milestone with our Summer Mobile Challenge, where builders competed to publish their first native apps and show what's possible with mobile development.
This year also brought AI generation for mobile, in-app purchases that work with your app's logic, and a clearer path from building to publishing. Whether your users are on web, iOS, or Android, we want you to be able to reach them without rebuilding your apps from scratch.
Supporting builders at every stage
Whether you're just learning Bubble, building your MVP, or ready to launch, we focused on giving you the resources to succeed at each step.
The redesigned Bubble Academy makes it easier to start learning and understand what you're building toward. Each course has clear landing pages showing what you'll learn, how long it takes, and your full lesson path from the start (with more, like progression tracking, to come soon!).
We also unified all professional Bubble services under one Experts hub. Freelancers, agencies, and coaches now have better visibility and clearer positioning, making it easier for them to connect with the right clients and showcase their work.
Immerse Cohort 8: AI for Good, our fully-funded, eight-week pre-accelerator, brought together 11 socially conscious founders who built AI-powered apps focused on social impact. We concluded the program with a Demo Day where finalists presented their projects in front of a panel of judges and the community.
And we introduced Launch Lab to help select founders turn their launches into professional campaigns. If you're accepted, you get storytelling support, video content, and help getting your app in front of the right audience, because building the app is hard enough without having to figure out marketing.
What's ahead in 2026
We're not slowing down. The roadmap ahead includes more AI capabilities, better infrastructure, and features you've been asking for. But more than any specific feature, 2026 is about making sure Bubble continues scaling with you, whether you're launching your first app or running a business that serves thousands of users.
Thank you for making 2025 an incredible year. Here's to building without limits in 2026.
Build for as long as you want on the Free plan. Only upgrade when you're ready to launch.
