Bubble and FlutterFlow: when to fix vs when to rebuild
Should you keep improving your Bubble or FlutterFlow app, or start again in code? Work through seven questions to make the call on evidence, not frustration.
ReadBubble apps are built visually from data types, pages, reusable elements and workflows, with plugins and the API Connector filling the gaps. Each app has a development version and a live version, and backend workflows run scheduled or API-triggered logic on Bubble's servers. Usage is measured in workload units, which ties performance and cost closely together.
Owners post when the editor has become a maze. Workflows trigger twice, conditions overlap, and nobody remembers why a custom state exists. Privacy rules may be missing, so any visitor can read user records through the Data API or a crafted search. Pages that load entire lists cause slow screens and high workload use. Abandoned plugins sometimes break after a platform update.
Invite the developer as a collaborator rather than sharing your login, and keep the app under your account. Mention your plan, since branching, capacity and some features depend on it. Point out the pages and workflows that misbehave, with steps to reproduce. If you are unsure whether to keep building on Bubble, read fix or rebuild first, and see Bubble app needs a developer for typical symptoms.

ReadUse team invites and limited roles instead of shared passwords, service by service, and know exactly how to remove access and rotate keys when the work ends.
ReadOpen the app's Settings, go to the Collaboration tab and invite them by email with the permissions they need. They work under their own Bubble account, and you can remove them at any time.
Common causes include searches that load whole tables, workflows that run on every page load, and recursive backend workflows. A specialist can trace usage in the app's logs and suggest targeted changes.
