Bubble: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Bubble is a no-code platform for building web and mobile apps. Users can work with an AI agent through prompts or edit visually; design, data and logic are managed visually. The platform includes a built-in database, user authentication, workflows and privacy rules that define who can access what. It also offers hosting with automatic scaling, version control and plugins for services such as Stripe and Google Maps. Apps can be deployed to the web and as native iOS and Android apps. Bubble is delivered as a cloud service.

Bubble Group, Inc. is based in New York, in the United States. According to its privacy policy, data may be transferred, stored or processed in the United States or other countries; the policy names no regions or data centres and no choice of data location. Bubble states that it participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The software is not open source and self-hosting is not mentioned. European organisations that process personal data should account for the transfer to a US company and the US jurisdiction that comes with it.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Bubble

Bubble is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Bubble hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Bubble is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Bubble together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
