Own your code, build 10x faster
Bubble does not let you export your code. If Bubble shuts down or changes pricing, your entire application is at risk. Fabricate generates standard React + TypeScript code you own completely.
Bubble's visual builder is powerful but slow. Describing what you want in natural language and letting AI build it is dramatically faster for most applications.
Bubble uses proprietary technology. Fabricate generates standard React, TypeScript, and SQL that any developer can understand, modify, and maintain.
Fabricate deploys to Cloudflare's edge network with sub-50ms response times globally. Bubble applications are hosted on shared infrastructure with variable performance.
Since Bubble doesn't export code, document everything: pages, workflows, database schema, user roles, and integrations.
Identify the core features of your Bubble app. Many Bubble applications accumulate unnecessary complexity through visual building.
Sign up at fabricate.build. Start with the free tier or Pro for larger applications.
Describe your application comprehensively. Include database schema, user flows, and design requirements.
Export data from Bubble and import it into your new Fabricate application.
Thoroughly test all workflows, then deploy to production.
| Feature | Bubble | Fabricate |
|---|---|---|
| Building Approach | Visual drag-and-drop | AI from natural language |
| Code Output | Proprietary (no export) | React + TypeScript (full ownership) |
| Database | Built-in (proprietary) | Cloudflare D1 (SQL standard) |
| Workflows | Visual workflow builder | TypeScript serverless functions |
| Plugins | Bubble plugin marketplace | npm ecosystem (millions of packages) |
| Performance | Shared hosting, variable | Cloudflare edge, sub-50ms globally |
| Pricing | $29-529/month | Free or $25-50/month |
| Vendor Lock-in | Complete lock-in | None -- export anytime |
Think about what the workflow accomplishes, not how Bubble implements it. Describe the business logic and let Fabricate implement it in code.
Start with a subset of data to test the migration. Verify relationships and data types before migrating everything.
Fabricate uses AI prompting, not visual building. It's faster once you're comfortable, but the workflow is different from Bubble.
Start building with Fabricate today. Free tier available -- no credit card required.
Start Building FreeBubble does not allow code export, so there is no direct migration path. You need to rebuild your application in Fabricate. The good news: AI generation is much faster than Bubble's visual builder, so rebuilding often takes hours rather than the weeks or months the original Bubble build took.
Bubble plugins are proprietary. In Fabricate, equivalent functionality comes from the npm ecosystem (millions of packages) or built-in integrations (Clerk auth, Stripe payments, D1 database).
A typical Bubble application that took months to build can be recreated in Fabricate in 1-3 days, depending on complexity. The AI handles most of the implementation, and you focus on testing and refinement.
Run both applications in parallel during migration. Build the Fabricate version, migrate data, test thoroughly, then redirect users. Keep Bubble running as a fallback until you're confident in the new version.
