Bubble vs JitBlox: what's the difference?

Looking for the right no-code web app builder for your next web project? Both JitBlox and Bubble could be a good choice. It all depends on which features are most important to you and how much you're willing to pay for that.

Compare JitBlox with Bubble

​Bubble is a no-code development platform that enables users to design, develop, and deploy web applications through a visual interface. The Bubble platform includes built-in database functionality, allowing for efficient data storage and retrieval. Unlike JitBlox, applications built with Bubble are hosted on its infrastructure, ensuring scalability and ease of deployment.

JitBlox and Bubble have a lot in common when it comes to building and designing web apps. The most notable difference is that with Bubble, you are tied to Bubble's infrastructure, which means you are stuck for an extended period of time with costs that are multiples of what you pay for JitBlox. Handing over the source code of your app to developers for self-hosting, for example, is not an option. Also, Bubble's front-end technologies are proprietary.

If you are looking for a full-stack web app platform and are willing to pay for it, Bubble is an excellent choice. But do you want to focus on building portable web apps that use UI libraries and frameworks that developers are already familiar with? Then JitBlox might be a better and more affordable choice.
