TL;DR: You can build websites, web apps, and native mobile apps without code, from AI tools to marketplaces and SaaS. Successful examples share one trait: builders understood how their apps worked and kept changing them as customers asked for more.
You have an idea for a digital product, or a problem at work that no off-the-shelf tool solves, and you want to know whether it can be built and run as a business. Before you commit, it helps to see what other people have already built and how it turned out for them.
Getting a first version generated is quick on most AI app builders now. Whether an app can carry a business depends on what happens after that: whether it works the way you imagined, and whether you understand it well enough to keep changing it as customers ask for new things.
Bubble is a fully visual app builder for web and native mobile apps. This guide covers the three types of apps you can build on Bubble, 25 examples across 13 kinds of apps, and how you build and change an app once the first version exists.
What can you build on Bubble?
You can build three main types of apps on Bubble, with no code required: websites that present information, web apps that let users take action in the browser, and native iOS and Android apps people download from the App Store and Google Play Store. Within those types, builders create AI tools, marketplaces, job boards, social networks, educational tools, internal tools, CRMs, and SaaS products. The design, logic, and data of each app stay visible and editable in one editor.
Websites
People often use “website” to describe any web-based software, but a website presents information, while a web app lets users take action.
Minimum Studio built its own site on Bubble using nothing but the visual editor, handling every animation, layout, and micro-interaction themselves. If you want to build something similar, here’s a guide to building a website on Bubble.
Web apps
A web app is interactive software that runs in your browser to help users take action instead of just scrolling. To-do list managers, CRMs, and social platforms are common examples.
Describe your idea to the Bubble AI Agent, and it starts with a planning session before generating a working foundation of your app, including the database, workflows (the steps your app follows when someone takes an action), and user accounts. From there, you can refine everything directly in the visual editor or ask the Agent to keep making changes through chat. You can also connect AI models like ChatGPT and Claude through plugins or API connections.
Ringly and WriteHuman are two examples. Ringly runs AI-powered phone agents that handle business calls automatically, while WriteHuman helps businesses rewrite AI-generated text so it reads naturally.
Native mobile apps
Native mobile apps are apps you download from the App Store or Google Play Store and open directly on your phone. They’re built for a specific operating system (iOS or Android), so they can tap into gestures, push notifications, and other device features that browser-based apps can’t.
With Bubble for native mobile apps, you build iOS and Android apps in the same editor you use for web. With native mobile app generation (beta), the Agent builds iOS and Android apps from a prompt. Since native and web apps share one platform and backend, you can reach more users without doing double the work.
Sentio is an AI-driven mental health app built by Idea Link on Bubble, live in the Apple App Store.
When you’re ready, Bubble’s mobile publishing flow prepares your builds and submits them to the app stores from the editor. Because these are true native builds, they go through the same app store review as any other native app. You’ll still need your own Apple and Google developer accounts to publish.
What is a no-code app?
A no-code app is a fully functional software application built using visual development platforms rather than traditional programming languages. Builders use drag-and-drop interfaces, visual workflows, and AI-powered generation to design interfaces, structure databases, and define logic, with no coding required.
No-code apps can include complex workflows, user accounts, payment integrations, and databases that scale. How much of the app stays visual varies by tool. Some builders let you edit the screens visually and keep the logic and data in code, while others make every layer visual.

AI-powered tools
AI can sit at the core of an app, like a ChatGPT-style AI chatbot as the main feature, or be woven into just one part of a larger product. Either way, the Agent can generate the foundation and help you refine it from there.
VoiceDrop
VoiceDrop is an AI voice and ringless voicemail platform that reached seven-figure ARR in 12 months with more than 2,000 paying customers, fully bootstrapped. Its founders ship changes as soon as customers ask for them.
Faceless.video
Faceless.video is an AI video production assistant. Its non-technical solo founder reached $1 million in ARR and more than 850,000 users in under a year.
Voicepen AI
Voicepen AI transcribes videos and audio recordings into engaging written content, and can also turn a website into content ideas for your business. It uses speech-to-text and large language models to power transcription and content generation, and was built by Bubble Developer Marina Trajkovska.
Native mobile apps for iOS and Android
SuiteOp
SuiteOp is a hospitality operations platform that replaced a wrapped mobile app that crashed with a native app built on Bubble. The native app took two months, compared with an estimated 6–8 months, and the company raised a $3 million seed round.
Turing App
Turing App was built in four weeks alongside a day job, then rebuilt natively instead of wrapping the web version.
Land
Land is a mobile climate-tech app. A solo, non-technical founder built the native iOS app and rebuilt it twice based on what users told him.
The app turns climate insights into daily readings written in straightforward language and generates personalized supply kit recommendations for users to track and act on. Its guiding motto is “acts, not fear.”
Custom marketplaces
Marketplaces and e-commerce platforms like Shopify will let you buy and sell just about anything. But highly specialized models, like a marketplace for NFTs or music lessons, often need more custom logic than a standard setup provides out of the box.
On Bubble, the pieces a marketplace needs are built in or a plugin away:
- Listings and search: Show a list of every product or listing from your database using repeating groups. Database tools handle filtering and search.
- Accounts for every role: Built-in user accounts support multiple roles, so buyers, sellers, and admins each see the screens meant for them.
- Payments: Connect Stripe through plugins or APIs to accept one-off or recurring payments. The Stripe integration walk-through covers the setup step by step.
If you’re just getting started, the complete guide to building a marketplace on Bubble covers the full process.
Ohana
Ohana is a subletting marketplace that handled 2,700 sublease transactions and $16.2 million in host earnings in 14 months. Co-founders Jacob Halbert and Ezra Gershanok built their own admin and support tools, and the team ships changes in a few days.
Cuure
Cuure helps users find the right vitamins and supplements through a personalized assessment, something no off-the-shelf shopping engine could handle. So founder Jules Marcilhacy built Cuure’s initial marketplace on Bubble.
Design Match
Design Match is a marketplace built on Bubble that matches founders with pre-vetted designers. Founders fill out a questionnaire about their needs, budget, and industry, and the app recommends designers who fit.
Job boards
Finding a new role can be hard, and LinkedIn isn’t always the best option. Industry-specific job boards focus on one field, so employers and candidates with the right skills find each other faster.
On Bubble, you can build a searchable job database for any industry. Companies post listings, candidates apply directly, and everyone gets the account type they need.
EqualReach
EqualReach is a marketplace matching businesses with vetted teams of refugee and displaced professionals, with more than 100 jobs created in its first year. A product lead with a design background makes changes herself instead of waiting on engineering.
Brands Meet Creators
Brands Meet Creators works a little differently than a typical job board. Brands post partnership and influencer marketing opportunities, and creators reach out directly if it’s a fit.
Brands can also browse creators by filter to find the right match for user-generated content (UGC) or organic partnerships, all powered by Bubble’s customizable databases.
Community and review sites
Forums and online communities are some of the oldest kinds of web apps, and you can build them on Bubble with no code. Add commenting, reviews, or “upvote” systems, then connect other tools in your tech stack to manage moderation and more.
Deepwrk
Deepwrk combines a community site with marketplace features and video conferencing. Users pair up for body doubling. They meet virtually, work on projects side by side for a set stretch of time, then earn rewards that gamify the experience, with a forum to stay accountable and share wins.
Social networks
Social networks live and die by their core features: profiles, feeds, messaging, and ways for members to connect with each other. You can build all of that visually with Bubble’s database and workflow tools.
Hampton
Hampton is a private, highly vetted network for high-growth founders and CEOs. Hampton launched in three months with one part-time developer.
Nicheless
Nicheless is a micro-blogging site similar to Tumblr or Medium built on Bubble. Nicheless removes many of the status and growth-focused elements of writing online by hiding likes, comments, and subscribers. Instead, it gives users a place to think out loud, be creative, and share thoughts on a wide variety of ideas.
To build your own social network, check out the guide to building and growing social networks on Bubble, or start from a fully customizable template.
Apps that handle sensitive data
Apps that store health, financial, or personal information need clear rules for who can see what. On Bubble, you set those privacy rules visually, down to each field, and Bubble’s databases let you sort and organize records by whatever matters most. When you need information from another system, you can connect to it with the API Connector.
Checking the compliance requirements for your industry is still up to you.
Hive Health
Hive Health is a health plan app for businesses in the Philippines. The Y Combinator-backed company raised a $6.5 million round and grew from two co-founders to more than 50 people. Its founders expected Bubble to be only their MVP and kept growing on it without rebuilding.
If your app handles sensitive data, check the privacy and security documentation to keep your users’ data secure.
Educational tools
Most educational tools need to deliver content, track progress, and manage a few different types of users. On Bubble, you can set up where your app keeps courses, lessons, and progress, and give students, instructors, and admins their own views.
UCL Medical School
UCL Medical School built medical education apps on Bubble that reached 12,000 users. Other universities now buy and use those apps too.
Internal management tools and dashboards
One of the best ways to get the exact tool your team needs is to build it yourself. Bubble’s step-by-step dashboard guide covers everything from building a user interface and setting up your databases to adding charts.
Floor Authority
Floor Authority runs on a custom ERP built for its residential flooring business. CEO RT Bayles, who had no software development experience, built the system that supports $24 million in annual revenue. Staff productivity rose at least 25%, and the company grew more than 100% without hiring many more people.
CLEBER
CLEBER is Mexico’s largest auto dealer group. Its in-house team, on the Enterprise plan, built a product information system and customer marketplace that replaced a legacy platform in three months, compared with an estimated year of traditional development.
Seagate
At Seagate, Product Manager Michael Ong and a six-person team built the Admin Console, an internal hub containing a suite of micro-apps, all built on Bubble.
Through the console, Seagate manages everything from order fulfillment to customer support in one place. The app passed Seagate’s security review and connects to Salesforce, Zuora, and SAP.
CRMs
The Agent can generate a CRM’s database and schema, which you can then customize visually for the way your team works. Get started with the complete CRM guide, or follow the step-by-step guide to building a CRM like Salesforce on Bubble.
Revetize
Revetize is a CRM that helps businesses run review, referral, and loyalty programs. With Revetize, clients can pull in customer data, automatically set up multi-channel drip and referral campaigns, and build all the landing pages, coupons, and URLs these campaigns need in one place. Real-time analytics and dashboards show what’s working and what isn’t.
SaaS apps
SaaS (subscription software like Slack, Asana, Salesforce, and HubSpot) is a popular category for Bubble builders. Generate a working app with the Agent, then refine it visually, and you’ll understand exactly what you’ve built instead of inheriting code you can’t read or maintain.
To build your own SaaS tool, follow the step-by-step guides to building QuickBooks- and Trello-style tools on Bubble.
My AskAI
My AskAI helps businesses scale customer support without sacrificing quality. Its two founders reached $25,000 MRR and more than 40,000 users, and rebuilt their product in six weeks. Teams can integrate My AskAI with other tools in their tech stack, like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zendesk, and use AI to handle customer interactions directly.
How you build and change an app on Bubble
On Bubble, you build and change your app by chatting with the Agent, editing by hand in the visual editor, or switching between the two whenever you want. You can use AI without giving up control. Most AI app builders let you edit the screens visually, but their logic and data are still code. On Bubble, the logic, data, and privacy rules are visual too, so you can read and change them yourself.
Understand how your app works
Describe your idea to the Agent, and it starts with a planning session. It asks clarifying questions and drafts a blueprint with you before generating the design, database, workflows, and privacy rules (the settings that decide who can see which data).
Workflows read as plain-language steps, so you can follow how your app works well enough to change or extend it yourself, without handing it off to a developer. The Agent also explains what it built and why. Clients and new teammates can read the same steps when they pick up the app.
If you already built a version with an AI coding tool, you can bring it in with universal import by uploading a .zip or .html file, or importing through the Bubble MCP (beta), and see how every part works.
Refine every detail
You can chat with the Agent or edit by hand on the same surface, down to the last detail. Every layer of the app stays open to you:
- DesignDesign: Adjust layouts, colors, and spacing in the visual editor, or ask the Agent to restyle a page. Your app ends up looking like yours instead of like every other generated app.: Adjust layouts, colors, and spacing in the visual editor, or ask the Agent to restyle a page.

- DataData: See every table and field the Agent created, and add or change fields as your business needs them. Visual privacy rules let you control access to sensitive data, down to each field.: See every table and field the Agent created, and add or change fields as your business needs them. Visual privacy rules let you control access to sensitive data, down to each field.
The Agent asks before it guesses, shows what it’s about to do, and summarizes what changed. It can set up API calls and install plugins that connect your app to other tools like Slack or calendar apps.
For work that runs behind the scenes, like a reminder every Monday or a bulk update to your records, the Agent builds backend workflows you can open and review. If you turn it on in your app’s settings, it can also use your app’s sample data to track down problems.
When the Agent gets something wrong, you can fix it yourself instead of re-prompting. Re-prompting has limits: A December 2025 study published in Scientific Reports found that AI models’ debugging ability drops 60–80% after just two or three attempts.
If you prefer working in your own AI tools, the Bubble MCP lets you build on Bubble from Claude, Codex, or ChatGPT. Everything it builds stays visual and editable in the Bubble editor.
Scale on one platform
Your web and native mobile apps share one editor and one backend, and you publish to the App Store and Google Play Store from the editor. Paid plans include hosting and auto-scaling, and you can keep growing the app you launched without rebuilding what already works.
- Compliance: Bubble is SOC 2 Type II compliant, which customers’ security teams often ask about during review.
- Privacy rules from the start: When the Agent creates your database, it generates privacy rules automatically, with row-level and field-level control you can review and change visually.
- Security dashboard: On paid plans, you can check your app for common vulnerabilities, like exposed API keys and gaps in privacy rules, before you deploy. Each issue links to the spot in the editor where you fix it.
Build your next app on Bubble
You’ve seen what other builders have made. Pick the example closest to your idea, and use it to sketch the first version of yours.
Once your app exists, you can change any part of it yourself as your business changes. Use AI when you want speed or edit by hand when you want precision.
The Agent teaches you Bubble while you build, or you can explore step-by-step guides, video tutorials, and the Bubble Forum for support.
Get started for free, describe your idea to the Agent, and shape the plan together. Generating an app doesn’t use AI credits.
Frequently asked questions about no-code app examples
What’s the difference between a no-code app builder and a vibe coding tool?
AI coding tools get a first version up fast, and most let you adjust the screens visually, but the logic and data are still code, so changing how the app works means another prompt. On Bubble, a fully visual app builder, the logic, data, and privacy rules are visual too, so you can fix what the Bubble AI Agent got wrong yourself.
Can you run a business on a no-code app?
Yes, Bubble apps transact more than $1 billion a year, and many of them run full businesses. For example, Floor Authority runs a custom ERP that supports $24 million in annual revenue, and Ohana handled $16.2 million in host earnings in 14 months.
Do I need coding experience to build apps like these?
No, you don’t need to write or debug code, and while there’s a learning curve, the Bubble AI Agent explains what it builds in plain language, so you learn how your app works as you go. If you’d rather have the app built for you, you can work with a Bubble Expert or a professional Bubble Developer.
How much does it cost to build an app on Bubble?
Getting started is free, every plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance, and generating an app with the Bubble AI Agent or working in the visual editor doesn’t use AI credits. You’ll need a paid plan to go live, connect a custom domain, or publish to the app stores, and current plans are on the pricing page.
Can I move an app I built with an AI coding tool to Bubble?
Yes, with universal import, you can upload a .zip or .html file, or import through the Bubble MCP (beta), and Bubble generates a new, fully visual app. From there, you can see how it works and keep building with the Bubble AI Agent or by hand.
Can I build on Bubble from Claude or Codex?
Yes, the Bubble MCP (beta) connects a Bubble app to an AI tool you already use, like Claude or Codex, so you can build and edit UI and features from there. Everything it builds stays visual and editable in the Bubble editor, and building through the Bubble MCP doesn’t use AI credits.
