Hidden billing gotchas

  • The 'Workload Unit (WU) Shock': Unoptimized nested repeating-group searches or frequent backend database polling can burn millions of WUs overnight.
  • Overage is on by default at $0.30 per 1,000 WU; if you turn it off, the app goes offline at its limit. Workload tier add-ons ($29 to $599/mo) cut the rate to $0.10 to $0.15 per 1,000 WU but are billed whether you use them or not.
  • Prices are Bubble's Web-only plans. Web & Mobile plans cost more: $69, $249 and $649 a month billed monthly.
  • Vendor lock-in: You cannot export your Bubble application source code to self-host on Cloudways or Vercel.

Units: infra / workload units (1k equiv). Overage is billed per started block of 1 unit above the tier allowance; capped tiers stop at their allowance. Each tier's seat limit is a hard ceiling — bigger teams must move up a plan.
