No-code platforms have exploded in popularity over the past few years, empowering makers, startups, and teams to build powerful apps without writing a single line of code. Whether you're launching a new product, testing an MVP, or digitizing internal processes, no-code tools are opening doors like never before.
Two names that consistently come up in these conversations are FlutterFlow and Bubble. Both platforms have built strong reputations for enabling users to create robust, production-ready applications—each with its own strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases.
If you’ve landed here, you're probably trying to decide: FlutterFlow or Bubble—what’s better for my project? That’s a smart question, and we’ll walk you through the key differences to help you make the right choice.
But there’s also a third option worth considering—Noloco. Especially if you're building internal tools, client portals, or operational apps, Noloco might be the fastest and easiest way to go from spreadsheet to full-featured business app.
Let’s dive into the comparison.
FlutterFlow is a no-code development platform built on top of Google’s Flutter framework. It allows users to visually design and build cross-platform mobile applications—meaning you can create iOS and Android apps from a single codebase, without having to write Flutter code yourself.
FlutterFlow has gained a lot of traction among makers and developers who want pixel-perfect control over the UI and a native mobile experience. Here’s what stands out:
While powerful, FlutterFlow isn’t ideal for every use case:
Bubble is one of the most established and powerful no-code platforms on the market. Unlike FlutterFlow, which is mobile-focused, Bubble is designed for building fully functional web applications—think SaaS products, marketplaces, and internal tools—with a visual drag-and-drop builder and a robust backend.
Bubble appeals to founders, startups, and product teams looking to build sophisticated web apps quickly—without hiring a full development team. Here’s what makes it popular:
Despite its flexibility, Bubble comes with trade-offs:
If you’re comparing FlutterFlow and Bubble, chances are you’re trying to build something meaningful—maybe an MVP, a client portal, or an internal tool to streamline your business. But what if there was an easier, faster, and more purpose-built solution for those kinds of apps?
Noloco is a no-code platform designed specifically for building internal tools, client portals, and data-driven business apps—without the complexity of traditional no-code tools.
So, while FlutterFlow and Bubble are great for custom product development, Noloco is a better fit when your goal is to streamline operations, share data securely, or empower your team with the tools they need—without building from scratch.
Now that we've covered what each platform is built for, let's break down how they compare across core features and use cases. Whether you're building a mobile app, a SaaS product, or a business portal, your needs will determine the best tool.
Choosing between FlutterFlow, Bubble, and Noloco really comes down to your specific project needs and who will be building and maintaining your app. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
Choosing the right no-code platform depends largely on your project goals, technical background, and the kind of app you want to build.
If you’re ready to cut through the complexity and empower your team to build tools that actually work for your business, it’s worth giving Noloco a try.
And it's free!
FlutterFlow focuses on building native mobile apps using Flutter, with Firebase backend integration. Bubble is web-first and lets you build complex web apps with a visual workflow builder and custom databases.
Bubble is primarily for web apps. While you can create mobile-responsive designs, Bubble does not produce native mobile apps like FlutterFlow does.
Noloco excels at building internal tools, client portals, and operational business apps quickly by connecting to your existing data sources like Airtable, Google Sheets, or Postgres.
FlutterFlow and Bubble require some understanding of app logic and workflows, which can have a learning curve. Noloco is designed to be truly no-code, with minimal setup and no coding needed.
FlutterFlow allows you to export Flutter code. Bubble apps stay on Bubble’s infrastructure with no code export. Noloco does not offer code export but focuses on fast deployment and ease of use.
Noloco offers built-in support for Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres, and custom databases, making it the easiest choice for apps built on top of those data sources.
