When you start a free trial with Bubble, we place a $1 pre-authorization hold on your card to verify that the payment method on file is valid.
This may appear as a pending charge on your bank statement. Please note that this is not an actual charge. It is a temporary authorization hold and will not be processed.
The hold typically expires automatically within 7 days, at which point the $1 will be released back to your account by your bank.
If you see the $1 pre-authorization but do not see any apps at bubble.io/home, it likely means you started a free trial during AI app generation, but the app generation process did not complete.
In these cases:
Any free trials associated with incomplete app generations are automatically canceled within 72 hours.
If you’d prefer to cancel sooner, you can ask the Support AI bot to cancel your subscription and follow the prompts provided.
