Move your Bubble app to code,
without breaking the business
We rebuild your app around what your product is now, and Bubble keeps running until your customers switch.

Each team switches when they're ready.
Doing it yourself looks cheaper, until you have to launch it.
Most founders we speak to plan to vibe code the migration or leave it to their existing team. Both might get you off of Bubble, but neither will give you a secure, scalable codebase that's ready for further growth or an exit.
Vibe coding moves your technical debt to code.
An AI agent copies your app, including its workarounds. The patches that are likely causing you to leave Bubble are now coming with you - they're just in code.

Your developers know your app, but they've never moved one off Bubble before. When you think you're 80% done, you're actually only 20% of the way there.

A migration is your chance to fix the foundations.
We've spent years inside some of the most complex Bubble apps out there, with 100k+ users and $20M+ raised. For all of them, the product that exists today is not the one they designed for when they first built the app. They have technical debt and workarounds, and these cause most of their headaches today.
That's why we usually recommend rebuilding from first principles. We learn how the app works and what the business needs from it now, design the codebase around that, then move your data and customers across in stages. Leaving Bubble is fairly easy with a good team - but building a codebase your company can continue to grow on requires a team that's done it many times before.
Two approaches to migration off of Bubble
Both approaches end with your app in a normal codebase you own, on a stack any developer knows. But the difference is how easy you'll find it to scale afterwards.
Migrate 1:1
Your app as it works today, in code. Your team runs it themselves with Buildprint Migration.
- Code generated from your live app, then checked against it until it matches
- Data and files moved across
- Run it with any coding agent
- 30 days of Slack support from our team
Best when the way your app is built still fits the product, and you have a developer to run it.
Start a projectRebuild from first principles
A codebase designed around what your product has become, instead of how it started.
- Every workflow, data type and edge case mapped before anything is built
- A new data model and architecture, designed for the product you have now
- Data transformed as it moves, so old workarounds stay behind
- Migrated in stages, with Bubble running unchanged
- Customers switch when they're ready
Slower and more expensive than 1:1, but you start in code with no carried-over technical debt.
Start a project- Fixed price
We price it once we've seen your app, so you know the cost before anything starts.
- Bubble keeps running
Your Bubble app stays live until your customers have switched.
- 30 days of support
After a rebuild launches we fix anything that comes up. On a 1:1, we support your team on Slack.

3Migrate in stages.
Bubble keeps running unchanged while each part is built, checked and rolled out. Customers switch when it suits them.
A team that knows Bubble and code, inside out.
Bubble's enterprise costs were climbing every year, and we didn't have the freedom to build what our users needed. Our biggest worries were losing data and how long it would take.
With Buildprint and NQU, migrating 1:1 is a breeze, but we decided to completely overhaul and rethink the app. Best decision we could have made.
- New features included
- Quicker and easier to use
- A bunch of subprocessors removed

We know where Bubble apps hide their logic, which matters before anyone writes a line of code.

Common questions, answered.
Should we migrate 1:1 or rebuild from first principles?
If the way your app is built still fits the product and you need to move fast, 1:1 is a good option. But nothing beats going back into founder mode and redesigning the app for the product market fit you've achieved, rather than continue to build upon a technical foundation that no longer fits what the app has become.
Can't we just vibe code the migration?
You can for sure get something running that way. The problem is that an AI agent copies the app as it is, so the workarounds come with it, and it only knows about the logic you point it at. In an ideal world, you shouldn't give your agent access to your Bubble app logic at all (even through Buildprint).
Why not do it with our own developers?
If you're going to migrate your Bubble app, you need the confidence that it will have the highest chance of success. We've seen apps trying to migrate for years using various bad approaches. If you want to migrate properly and reliably, you need a team that's done it before for complex apps with hundreds of thousands of users.
Will we need to pause development while we migrate?
No. The Bubble app stays live while the migration is planned and built in stages. Some work may need sequencing, but your business can't just lie flat for months.
How do you stop the data migration going wrong?
We dry-run all migration and build data migration from an early stage, so that it's built into the core of the application design, rather than being something solved at the end.
Will we own the codebase?
Yes. It's your repo with no lock-in, on a stack any developer or AI coding agent can work on.
How much does it cost?
A self-serve 1:1 migration starts from $5k, and a rebuild from first principles from $10k. The final price depends on the app, the data and the rollout, so we give you a fixed price once we've been through the app with you.
Do we have to leave Bubble at all?
No. If Bubble is still the right tool for your app, we'll say so, and our membership can help you scale on it instead.
