Bubble builds web apps. Bilt builds native mobile apps
Bubble is the leading no-code web app platform. But Bubble apps are web-based — they can't access native device features or be published as real App Store apps. Bilt generates true native mobile apps.
The mobile gap
Bubble is powerful for building complex web applications without code. But web apps wrapped in a container aren't the same as native mobile apps — and Apple knows the difference.

- Deploy to web URLs
What Bilt adds

Feature comparison
Built for native mobile
AI-powered app creation
Instead of dragging and dropping, describe your app in natural language. Bilt generates a full React Native codebase — faster than visual builders.
iOS simulator in your browser
Preview your app on a real iOS simulator streamed to your browser. See exactly how your app looks and feels on a real device.
One-click App Store publishing
Publish to the Apple App Store and Google Play with automated build pipelines. No wrapper apps, no webview rejections.
Own your code
Bubble doesn't give you source code. Bilt pushes clean React Native code to GitHub. You own it completely — no vendor lock-in.
“We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.”
