Quality you’d expect from a high-end agency, at a fraction of the cost and time
You bring the idea, we'll handle the rest. We've reinvented the software development process to match Bubble's speed with an emphasis on building the right product with security & scalability in mind.
Upgrade your team with top Bubble developer talent, on a fractional basis
There are a lot of freelance no-code developers out there, but only a select few build with the standards that quickly produce a production-grade app. Our Bubble developers, designers, and PMs go through extensive technical vetting and project experience, and you can add them to your team in the blink of an eye.
Our mission is to set the new standard for building software
by helping others launch scalable, secure, and performant products in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional development.
Clients trust Airdev to launch and scale
Hear from the founders and teams we've worked with.
"Airdev has been critical to our venture's progress. They truly offer a seemingly impossible value proposition: they not only sit in the intersection between quality, speed, and cost, but also bring business wits into the process. In the end, I truly considered Airdev our partners in our venture."
"Airdev is a great solution for companies who are starting at the very earliest stage, who are trying to come up with a proof of concept…But, they're not just for the brand new ideation and MVP types. Airdev has built a system that's enabled us to scale as well."
"Airdev helped me launch my marketplace for therapy services in a fraction of the time and cost quoted by other vendors. Being non-technical, I relied on Airdev's guidance for prioritizing the most critical MVP features to test my hypothesis. Really recommend using this team if you want a strong product to market quickly!"
"What was most attractive about Airdev was the cost, the quality, and the trust and communication aspect…Airdev was the perfect solution because they could help me build something fast, and more importantly, affordable"
"In just two weeks, AirDev created an elegantly streamlined version of our previous gig management platform, built on top of our Salesforce data. The result became an instant hit with our network of linguists, while dramatically reducing the time we spend on ongoing maintenance."
"Working with AirDev was an entirely different experience from typical outsourced developers; it was like having another member of the team. Their ability to translate broad guidance and run with ideas saved me and our team 40+ hours per week."
"As non-technical, female founders of a mission-driven organization, we got a lot of feedback that our idea was nice but we needed to get a technical co-founder on board to be taken seriously. What Airdev has been able to accomplish in just a week is totally astounding and fits our needs perfectly."
"Having partnered with Airdev on previous projects both for HP and other leading technology companies, it was clear that they were best placed to deliver this sort of complex tool."
"We've spent the same amount on consultants implementing our off-the-shelf system as we've spent building something totally custom with Airdev."
Common questions
All Airdev Bubble developers undergo a rigorous selection process tailored to their specific roles. This process includes interviews, exercises, and simulated client projects to assess both their job skills and professionalism. Once onboarded, team members receive ongoing support through centralized resources and a technical help desk. Additionally, individual performance is monitored to ensure consistent high standards. If technical issues arise, developers can rely on Airdev's central help desk for assistance.
Among all the no-code tools we've tried, Bubble stands out for its power and flexibility in handling diverse product ideas. It's extensive customization options allow users to tailor their web apps to their exact specifications. Unlike other no-code tools that focus on specific use cases (e.g., Shopify for e-commerce) or parts of the tech stack (e.g., Airtable for databases), Bubble offers a true alternative to custom code. Learn more about why Bubble is our no-code app builder of choice.
Bubble's web plans, billed annually, are Free, Starter ($32/month), Growth ($119/month) and Team ($349/month), plus custom Enterprise pricing. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of workload units, Bubble's measure of the work it does to run your app, and apps that use more pay for extra workload. See current pricing and estimate your app's running costs with our Bubble pricing guide and cost calculator.
Airdev Flex is ideal for individuals or businesses looking for a cost-effective solution to build their product without the expense of hiring a high-end agency. Flex allows you to access top-quality Bubble developers, designers, and other essential roles on a fractional basis. If you have the time and skills to manage your own team, Airdev Flex offers the highest value-for-money way to bring your product to market.
The most common client types we see using this model are:
- Entrepreneurs/organizations seeking cost-effective Bubble product development (and are willing to put in the effort)
- Entrepreneurs/organizations with an existing Bubble product needing expert assistance for further development
- Companies/agencies aiming to establish or augment their Bubble capabilities without the hiring overhead
As long as it's a cloud-based database, Bubble connects to any kind of external services that expose an API for reading/writing (including payments, sources of data, authentication providers, etc.). Additionally, it is fully extensible via Javascript plugins. You can create your own plugins to add connections to non-supported services, add elements written in Javascript, or write server code.
Note: working entirely from an external database can slow development efforts since part of the advantage of using Bubble is the integrated nature of the platform. The resulting speed is still significantly faster than custom code.
Bubble specializes in responsive web applications with dynamic databases and complex functionality. This differs from other visual programming platforms like Webflow/Wix, which focus on front-end design for static websites.
Common features include (but are not limited to):
- User accounts (signup with email or social)
- Creating/browsing items from the database
- API integrations & external database queries
- Forms & surveys with dynamic results
- Payments (direct, subscription, or peer-to-peer)
- Charts, graphs, data visualization
- Notifications through email, SMS, or push
- App analytics (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude)
- Integrations with AI / machine learning services or custom algorithms
Bubble supports the integration of custom code plugins for areas where it does not natively support the desired functionality.
There are a few categories of products that Bubble isn't yet good for:
- Apps that need to work without an internet connection
- Apps that have complex regulatory requirements
- Fully native mobile apps (e.g. Whatsapp or Uber) — though web-based mobile apps are supported
If your app has already hit these limits, see how we move apps off Bubble.
Yes. We always design apps to optimize for scale, based on our understanding of the potential features and user behavior our client envisions. The Bubble technology is built to scale, with the ability to upgrade server capacity as needed (including migrating to a dedicated AWS cluster) to service a growing user base. Bubble provides simple dashboards and notifications to track app capacity usage to help you adjust as needed.
Yes. Bubble is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is itself compliant with certifications such as SOC 2, CSA, ISO 27001, and more. All data behind Bubble apps is stored in the cloud using AWS and is generally hosted on AWS West Region (Oregon, US) which maintains a state-of-the-art security infrastructure. Below are more of Bubble's security features:
AWS: All data behind Bubble apps is stored in the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS), the industry standard. Data is generally hosted on AWS West Region (Oregon, US) which maintains a state-of-the-art security infrastructure.
Encryption: Bubble encrypts all traffic to bubble.is over https, and encourages and supports users to use encryption on their own domains. All user passwords are stored salted + encrypted on Bubble's database; other user data is encrypted at rest (Bubble is on AWS RDS). Note: a more technical Bubble audit report is available upon request.
SSL: Bubble apps can add SSL encryption to their own domains under any paid Bubble plan. The default bubble domain includes SSL.
Dedicated infrastructure: For large and complex apps, Bubble offers plans with the ability to be on a dedicated AWS cluster (as opposed to shared clusters managed by Bubble), which leads to more reliable performance and greater security.
External database support: For projects requiring specific database setups (e.g., using a client's Azure infrastructure, or a HIPAA-compliant data vault), the Bubble application can be set up to interface with a separate database using API calls. This slows development vs. using Bubble's internal setup.
Logs: Every action that changes data in a Bubble app's database is logged, which enables auditing if needed.
Privacy rules: Bubble enables role-based privacy rules for apps, which restrict what data is sent from the servers to the user's hardware. This provides an additional layer of security so that data does not fall into the wrong user's hands.
Privacy policy: Bubble's privacy policy can be found at bubble.is/terms. Bubble employees do not have access to view customer data, except when necessary to resolve engineering issues with the platform. Access to customer data is restricted based on job role. Access is periodically audited to prevent abuses.
You own the rights to your concept, your application, and all user-generated data created through the app. Airdev retains the ownership of the IP for our predesigned page and element templates that we use across multiple projects. More details on this distinction can be found in the client contract you can review before approving a build.
Yes, you can come back to us at any point after the initial build for additional work. You can request ad-hoc updates or sign up for a monthly plan, which will come with a certain amount of team capacity.
