Reactive UI with App Connect
Build dynamic component behavior, expressions, data binding and events in the client-side visual layer.
Explore App ConnectWhy it matters
A familiar visual mindset with a different ownership model
The transition is less about abandoning visual development and more about learning how Wappler represents frontend, backend and project infrastructure explicitly.
Backend work with Server Connect
Model secure server actions and data operations separately from the browser interface.
Explore Server ConnectProject and infrastructure control
Work with project files, Git, databases and compatible deployment targets rather than a mandatory hosted application runtime.

The key model differences to test
| Decision point | Bubble | Wappler |
|---|---|---|
| Visual building | Hosted visual application editor and workflow model | Desktop visual development across UI, client data, backend and deployment |
| Application code | Bubble states that apps cannot be exported as runnable code | Project files are available locally and can be versioned with Git |
| Hosting model | Application runs on Bubble's managed platform | Deploy to compatible infrastructure selected for the project |
| Pricing model | Plan limits include platform workload usage | Wappler subscription plus the infrastructure and services you choose |
