Our take
More people than ever are interested in starting a digital product business such as a SaaS, social network or marketplace, but getting started is tough. Creating tangible proof-of-concept products generally requires software development skills, and without experience in coding, this usually results in expensive programmer hires.
Bubble provides a no-code software development platform, allowing its users to build SaaS apps, dashboards, CRMs, marketplaces, social networks, and other web or mobile-based software applications without coding experience. The platform allows users to navigate prototyping, launch, collaborative iterative development, and unlimited scaling through simple drag-and-drop interfaces, allowing anyone to develop software without the need for programming experience.
No-code software development startups have been growing in popularity and this undeniably presents significant competition for Bubble, but its all-in-one approach to design, functionality, and management gives them a cutting edge over similar niche-focussed alternatives. The company claims that through its platform, businesses can launch and develop products at a much faster rate due to increased accessibility to software development, without the need for expensive hires and infrastructure.
