European alternatives to Bubble
Visual app building with European providers
Browse the category: Low-code and visual programming platforms
Bubble is a visual development platform for building web applications without writing code. You design pages by placing elements on a canvas, define a database behind them and set up workflows for what should happen on each action. Founders use it to launch products and test ideas before committing to a conventional development team.
When a whole product lives on a visual platform, the supplier holds the code, the database and the ability to change the terms underneath you. For companies serving European customers, the location of that data and the contract behind it belong in the plan from the start. A European alternative to Bubble exists at several levels. WeWeb builds frontends on your own data, Betty Blocks suits business applications, and Mendix and OutSystems handle larger projects.

Our pickRUAL
Dutch no-code platform for business applications
RUAL is a Dutch no-code and visual programming platform from Deverence Group B.V. Applications, flows, data, AI and integrations are built and managed in one environment. In the visual Flow Editor you search for a block, drag it in and connect it: read, calculate, decide, store, send. It runs business software, ERP, warehouse automation, robotics and AI applications, and serves around ten million end users a day.
Questions
Can I get my application out again later?
Portability differs sharply between platforms, so ask about export before you build. WeWeb is worth a look if keeping your own database and backend matters to you.
Will these scale beyond a first version?
Mendix and OutSystems are built for applications that keep growing and for teams that maintain them over years. That comes with a heavier process than a quick prototype needs.
Which option fits a non technical founder?
Betty Blocks is aimed at people building applications without a development background. Expect to involve a developer as soon as integrations and data models get complicated.
