The short answer
This charge represents a subscription to a paid Bubble.io hosting plan (such as Starter or Growth) or add-ons like extra server capacity, custom domains, or database storage for an app hosted on their platform.
Why am I seeing a charge from Bubble?
A line item labeled BUBBLE GROUP or BUBBLE GROUP INC. on your credit card or bank account represents a software subscription charge from Bubble Group, Inc. The payment pays for Bubble, a visual programming environment that enables startups, business owners, and software teams to launch full web applications without writing manual source code. On bank feeds, the transaction commonly appears under aliases such as BUBBLE, BUBBLE.IO, or BUBBLE GROUP.
While Bubble lets users build prototypes for free, launching a live app with a custom domain requires an upgraded hosting plan. The entry on your statement typically matches the Starter plan at $32.00 per month, or higher tiers like Growth and Team for scaling software projects. Beyond base plan costs, recurring charges also happen when an app consumes extra database capacity, premium marketplace plugins, or additional server workload capacity. If you run a business, a product manager or an outside web design contractor might have linked your company card to host an internal dashboard or client portal.
To locate the exact source of the charge, log in to your account dashboard at bubble.io and inspect the Apps section. Because Bubble bills on a per-application basis, you need to review each application settings page under the App Plan tab to verify which project is currently active. If nobody in your organization recognizes the charge, contact Bubble billing support through manual.bubble.io with your transaction date and card details. Should the charge turn out to be completely unauthorized, inform your financial institution immediately to initiate a fraud dispute and replace your card.
- Monthly or annual app hosting subscription (e.g., Starter, Growth, or Agency plans).
- Overage fees for exceeding your plan's workload capacity.
- Purchasing premium plugins or templates from the Bubble marketplace.
- Check with your tech team or agency If you hired a 'no-code agency' or freelancer to build your website, they may have used your credit card to set up the app's hosting.
How to cancel a Bubble subscription
To stop recurring charges from Bubble Group, Inc., the account owner must sign in to the Bubble editor and downgrade each active application to the Free tier. Because Bubble bills per individual application rather than per user account, cancelling one project will not stop billing on others. Make sure to check every app listed inside your dashboard.
Once you downgrade an application, you retain access to paid features until the conclusion of your current monthly or annual billing period. Bubble generally does not issue prorated refunds for mid-cycle cancellations, so downgrading early simply ensures that no future charges will post to your card.
- Log in to your Bubble account at bubble.io.
- Go to your 'Apps' dashboard.
- Click on the app you want to downgrade, then go to 'Settings' > 'App plan'.
- Select 'Cancel plan' or downgrade to the Free tier.
