Alternatives to Bubble for creating business applications

Appsheet

AppSheet offers a code-free approach to building business applications, using Google Sheets spreadsheets as the data source. It enables easy integration with other Google services. It's a robust, user-friendly platform for small and medium-sized businesses. On the other hand, the application's scalability may be limited, and advanced functionalities require more in-depth mastery of the platform. The user interface may be less intuitive for some users.

PowerApps

PowerApps is integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, offering seamless integration with other tools such as SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure. It enables the creation of powerful business applications with advanced functionality and deep customization. The learning curve can be steep, however, for users unfamiliar with Microsoft products. Some advanced features require coding skills, and the platform may be less suited to small businesses with limited budgets.

Glide

Glide is a user-friendly platform that lets you quickly create mobile applications from Google Sheets spreadsheets or data in Airtable. It offers an intuitive interface for app creation and easy customization. Applications can be deployed on a variety of devices. Glide may be less suited to complex business applications requiring advanced functionality. Some third-party integrations and customizations may be limited.

Custom (code)

Custom development in code offers total flexibility to create your own customized business application according to your specific needs. This approach gives you total control over the design, functionality and performance of your business app. However, compared with Bubble, custom development in code requires advanced technical skills and can entail very high costs in terms of initial development, ongoing maintenance and upgrades.
