- In this video, I'll dive deep into @BubbleIO 's game-changing new pricing structure - workload-based pricing!
Say goodbye to the capacity-based limitations and throttling issues. Workload pricing, though a bit uncertain at the moment, can definitely make your app faster.
In this video, I'll break down the differences between capacity-based pricing and the newly introduced workload-based pricing. I'll also discuss the pros and cons of the current and new pricing models.
Whether you're an existing Bubble.io user or just curious about the platform, this video is packed with essential information about how the new pricing model will impact the #nocode ecosystem.

Bubble lost the trust of the most reliable users. Too drastic changes. Too expensive for MVPs. Too impredictable for entrepreneurs.
Igreed
There has definitely been a trust issue. But I'm hopeful they are going to grow stronger and better from this . They are already rethinking/tuning the calculations
Agree! This is about trust, that simple e important word. only for that, I could migrate to another platform.
Has it been fixed ?
Embarassing to dress this up as anything positive for Bubble developers. It clearly isn't. Filtering and hiding comments is obviously happening here also to remove any negativity, what a joke.
I wrote a negative but respectful comment mentioning the 99% negative user reaction on the bubble forum. The prior post was deleted 5min after posting. I will screenshot this comment, in case it is deleted as well.
Using simple functionality such as API calls, this pricing model is completely infeasible. In this video he says “lower costs”, but most user are reporting an estimated 10-20x increase in cost. The forum included many breakdowns showing evidence of this.
We've got many apps for our clients.
Some of our client apps are negatively affected
Some are totally fine.
Guess which apps are arriving on the forum. The ones negatively impacted.
The people arriving on the forum to raise a complaint are valid.
But there are definitely apps which are totally fine.
There is a side of the coin you are not seeing.
It depends on app to app. use case to use case.
With that being said. Now that I actually have hands-on the editor. The way workload units are calculated and the amounts in the tier, there definitely seems to be something off here. Some patterns/features suddenly become too costly which is bizarre.
Hoping to see more optimization efforts by bubble that reduce workload unit use
@@zubair_nocode Please post these metrics in the forum. Let's see it first hand. It's pretty hard to believe unless they are just static page-view apps.
I will. However after bubble has adjusted/tuned the model a bit
@@zubair_nocode you said "Some are totally fine." I was asking for examples under the announced pricing scheme... My comment was made before the 2000+ negative comments in the forum and before the Bubble management team was forced to respond to the community backlash.
this is scary! imagine how end users actions (even hamrfull) will set how much u must pay for theyr usage, this is nuts lol
Great video! Thank you so much for uploading so quickly! 👏
Explanation is not supported by data, and expressed uncertainty. I don’t think his argument is sufficient to draw a conclusion
Will try and make another video comparing costs for various apps.
However after bubble has tuned the model
THank you - great explanation!
So as a person who has just started learning bubble.
Should I continue learning it or move on to another no code app like Webflow or Framer?
I would wait until bubble makes an announcement….
Depends on why.
For you own app, if the use case requires millions of records, may want to learn bubble+xano.
But normal use cases, probably ok.
For freelancing. Sure.
Bubble is amazing skill to have in your toolbox. But I wouldn't think of this as a marriage to bubble. It's a platform and a skill
@@ronielcatussatto9541 thanks
@@zubair_nocode yeah I got to learn about Xano through a tweet reply. Looks really promising. . Will learn it once my bubble course complete. Thanks.
Moreover, initially I would like to create apps for clients and execute my idea at a later date as it is much more advanced
Amazing explanation! Thank you!
Bubble if you make such an absurd move about pricing what will be your next moves? how can we comfortably build app with you if you make such a huge change that puts a lot of people out! I'm out. I don't even know how to calculate the cost for my clients.
Very simply explained! 👏
Can you learn on bubble freely? On free plan like before? Or you will need to buy workload if you use 50k workload units? Can you explain me this?
Great explanation, terrible pricing decision
I think at the moment, we are seeing the downside but not the upside. I'm hopeful bulk data manipulation is going to get efficient. and the bubble is 'slow' problem is going to go away soon
It’s not about inefficient apps. Simply making external API calls will make the pricing of your app not financially feasible. Show us your actual metrics and how the costs would differ under the new model.
Too early to do that. They are tuning/adjusting the model atm
How does pipe caliber translate to the real world? How was Bubble limiting the capacity?
The 18 month grace is only if you update to annual billing correct?
You can remain on monthly for 18 months.. the cost will rise by 10% inflation related. But you can remain on monthly for 18 months
Hi. Anyway to test the existing deployed app to see how much workload units before making decision? Thanks
You can see the workload unit use in the logs tab
If I send parameter to the same page with "Go to page" action, is it still count as page load and costs WU?
Going to have to test this one. Its a bit unclear atm
very nice!
I think more detailed video needed Zubair!
definitely after running some experiments
The bubble forum people are posting absurdly high WU numbers on very basic apps. Unfortunately I have to stop development of my Bubble app until this is resolved.
