THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING ALL OF MY QUESTIONS IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. Been searching for these answers for hours

[@docwilliams]

😃 no problem! Glad to help!

[@rosszeiger]

Super helpful breakdown, thanks Doc!

[@docwilliams]

No problem!

I'm trying to build an on-demand food delivery service and I like flutterflow because I can use supabase for my app. I don't like being tied down to any deals as it kills competition and make the consumer lose their free will too. This video just reinforced my mindset. Ps. I tried buying a template from Bubble initially it sounded easy too, but going further through the FAQs I realized there was so much more to do unlike how straightforward it was with Flutterflow and how easy it was for me to build the app UI myself with the first training. That led me to this comparison video. Thanks again.

[@docwilliams]

Nice! Glad to help and hope your on-demand food delivery service goes well! Keep me posted on your progress!

[@Pawnlust]

If people use Supabase, what will be Google's reason to develop Flutter?

[@docwilliams]

@@Pawnlust Flutter is open-source UI software development kit created by Google. Supabase is a firebase alternative for the backend development. Flutter is still going to be supported for the UI component of the application.

[@Pawnlust]

@@docwilliams I understand. I’m talking about the economics of it for them. How do they justify this investment long-term? Flutter needs Google still. The ecosystem is too small to sustain itself if the plug is pulled.

[@BlkArabian]

Thank You. 🙏 Boss

[@docwilliams]

No problem 👍

[@josephdixon1033]

Which platform would you recommend for a CRM use case? Platform would need to connect with other systems via api daily. Inbound leads send a lot of emails etc. thoughts ?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! I could see using either one this comes down to if you're looking to use this for you and your team or if you're looking to scale this for as a micro saas. In general you could us both I would prob lean towards flutterflow mainly because I enjoy how easy the UI/UX components can be used in FF but this comes down to preference and workflow. Have you tried using either platform yet?

[@nocodebobos]

Hey Doc thanks for your video! I am a newbie in the no code world, don't know how to code, i want to change careers and become a no code developer, which tool would you recommend for my case, FF or Bubble?

[@docwilliams]

Glad that you are here! That's a great question! This depends on what you want to learn how to build. Bubble you could build about 95% of most requested applications but you will have to stay in the bubble ecosystem. FF if I was focused on mainly mobile applications, you want the best mobile experience and you want to add some custom code and scale into code I would look into FF. It also depends on the workflow you would prefer. So that's a long response but it depends lol. I would take the time and build a project using both platforms and re-evaluate what platform and features you like. Keep me posted and let me know if you have more questions!

[@mundameet]

Thanks. What do you recommend for HR processing and payroll system, because it can use both Web and mobile apps? Should I use bubble or flutterflow.

[@docwilliams]

Great question! In that case I might lean more towards bubble. Both platforms could handle it but in this case I feel bubble might be the best option. There are a few other factors including functionality and design that would make me think about about FlutterFlow or even weweb as well but in general bubble would prob be my choice on that one. Hope that helps and feel free to add more details on your use case. Thanks!

[@kwakuofosu7676]

Hey Doc, thank you for your insights! I'm aiming to create a learning experience that is inspired by the model used by Duolingo. This involves incorporating gamification elements into the learning process to make it more engaging and enjoyable for the user. I have no coding background whatsoever. Which no-code app do you recommend? FF or Bubble, or something else?

[@docwilliams]

Love it! I would probably go with FF I would really look at creating a MVP to try it out Let me know if you have more questions

What do you recomend to build a polls/surveys app? Thanks for the video!

[@docwilliams]

Depending on if you're going to use a white-labeled platform I would use getmetasurvey.com/ Depending on the type of survey you need I would prob go with FlutterFlow if mobile first. bubble is a kid option as well if you need custom functionality for a web app.

im trying to build a custom Chatgpt Bot App with a customized interface. I started with flutterflow and dont get any further at the moment. I am a complete beginner. Started with a template which I already styled and now I dont understand how can I connect different sites to each other. I dont know if I should stick with flutterflow or is bubble a better option for this kind of projects? I think flutterflow is better but I'm just stuck at the moment..looking for a solution.

[@docwilliams]

Great question! OK so first I would start with your current problem. What are you currently stuck on? What is your main goal with your user? Describe your idea of a customized interface. In general, I've been using Chatbase with clients and students www.chatbase.co/?via=doc-williams But it depends on your use case. Feel free to ask more questions!

[@nahahaha875]

What would you recommend for a local mobile food delivery app?

[@docwilliams]

Great question! Depends on the exact functionality you need but I see a lot of businesses use Adalo and for advance features they use FlutterFlow. Again depends on your needs. Hope that helps take care!

[@riznent]

Thanks Doc. Which platform, would you use to build AI chatbot products for websites.?

[@docwilliams]

No problem! Great question. I would prob go with Chatbase www.chatbase.co/?via=doc-williams (affiliate link to support the channel).

[@Actionstudios99]

Hey Doc, old subscriber here. I am trying to build a website that is similar to G2 but focuses on firms like accounting and law firms. For the MVP which would you recommend? Or is there another app you would recommend?

[@docwilliams]

Hey great to see you here! In general I would go with bubble for this project. Depends your skill level and overall time you want to spend on the project I would look at Softr (www.softr.io/?via=doc) for a V1.0 and if you need to have more functionality I would then go with bubble. Hope that helps and keep me posted!

[@youwishyoucould8019]

Hello Doc, which platform would you recommend for a community course platform? Users should be able to register for free and online see a handful of the course content. They should be able to chat privately and post in the group. The paid version should include all content with recurring payments. It should be accessible on Web and as an mobile app as well. What would you recommend for that scenario?

[@docwilliams]

I would prob go with Heartbeat- www.heartbeat.chat/?via=doc Hope that helps take care! Keep me posted on your progression.

I need to create a multi-seller market, where I can adapt the application to the web, which one do you recommend? Do you know of a place where I can get a tutorial for this, sorry if my translation is bad.

[@docwilliams]

Great question! I can understand not a problem at all. I would look at FlutterFlow but I would look at CS-Cart.

[@robmagana02]

Doc - thanks for the great info. Would really like to get your opinion on this: I'm looking to develop a SaaS app for dance studios to manage registration, class sign-ups, rosters, email lists, payments, and scheduling. Including instructor profiles, student tracking, etc... I have no "no code" experience, but I am a data analyst by trade and have some basic programming principles. Trying to decide which of these two tools will be better in the long term. So far what I have seen, I like the FF interface, but bubble feels more robust.

[@docwilliams]

Great question! Really depends on the workflow you need. For what you want to do both options are viable. For what you're looking for both platforms have the functionality you detailed.

Should I use FlutterFlow or Bubble? Which plugin for the video call should I use? Thanks!

Are trying to make your own platform to offer clients that will be a sales funnel they can use in their business and have videos throughout the different pages? For example a series of pages you'll get in a drip sequence like clickfunnels etc?

[@siham432]

So with both FlutterFlow and Bubble we can not publish the app using the Free plan, right?

[@docwilliams]

@@siham432 correct. You can make it a PWA (progressive web application) and have to them save to their home screen to interact like a regular app but to have available in the play store you need a paid plan. For our students and clients we recommend PWA first and then transitioning to submitting to the app store. For more details on ff pricing and features check out this page- flutterflow.io/pricing

[@siham432]

@@docwilliams Can you make a tutorial on how to do that? Or how to make PWA with FlutterFlow if possible?

[@UlrichGertingBojko]

Hi Doc. Thank you for your insight on this. I've tried bubble but had to move away from the platform, as it does not have any hosting in EU and it does not native mobile app building features without external services that can make it a PWA (At least when I tried using it). I am trying to build an app that handles a ton of personal information so it needs to be GDPR compliant inside the EU (No US hosting etc.). The outlook for shared hosting in EU was too far in the future for me to wait. Still looking into FF/Supabase combo for App building, but haven't decided yet.

[@docwilliams]

No problem and thanks for your comment! Yeah FF might be a good solution for you and with security supabase or firestore could have the secuirty you need. Keep me posted on your progress!

[@BibleSamurai]

ah man, I think you like flutter flow better. I'm going with flutter flow. lol. You have a course or recommend a course to go from a to z in a few months??

Hey great question! I do have one my courses on No Code MBA if you're interested here- www.nocode.mba/?via=doc Let me know if you have any more questions take care!

[@KaiCodingJourney]

Bubble is for no-coders, FF is for coders with at least 2-3 years knowledge of coding. If anyone think FF is easy well you probably building very basic apps, just saying ;)

[@docwilliams]

Thanks for your comment! I think it really depends on your starting point if you know basic programming and database principles. I teach students in bootcamp with minimal experience and they are using a MVP with api integration an application that they are using daily for their business. Yup it depends what you clarify as basic. Feel free add more details of what you classify as a basic app.

Bubble raised $100M.[12] Bubble was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2021., Web traffic to Bubble's websites have increased at a compounded growth rate greater than 50% from 2017 to 2021 ( Wikipedia )

[@docwilliams]

Thanks for the comment and details!

[@user-kt6eb5zc7x]

I think Bubble more stronger than FF, the template and also very fast live preview, the workflow is more intuitive than FF, add to this built in database, Bubble also build native mobile app using responsive features and external plugin name BDK native, also little bug fix, about FF is low code need experience in flutter expression to use it by developer, slow in live preview, a lot of bug fixes.

[@docwilliams]

Thanks for your comment! Yes I think bubble def is powerful and depending on the project I def think it could be a good fit. FF def is low code and is based on specific workflows so it can be very different from bubble for sure.

[@user-kt6eb5zc7x]

@@docwilliams add to this advantage the workflow power by AI, when you think on one target you can make it and it is working, this help you develop in short time compared to the other Nocode, i want explain it like programming languages C is more defficult than python, same FF is more difficult than bubble in workflow.

[@robertofd1995]

You are missing a big point, with FF you can do the initial work and the export the code and you don't pay anymore for the service. I believe you cannot do the same with bubble. You are forced to pay for it forever
