Switch from Bubble to Sovrium

Rebuild your app as portable config-as-code on your own database — keep the logic, drop the lock-in and the plugin bills.

What switching actually involves

Bubble apps can’t be exported as runnable apps, so switching is a deliberate rebuild — but a clean one. You export your Bubble data, model the equivalent tables in Sovrium config, re-create each page as config components, and wire automations. The payoff: a portable app on your own infrastructure with no per-plugin or per-seat cost.

What you gain by switching

Portability

Your app becomes Git config plus your own database — movable anywhere, unlike a Bubble app.

No plugin bills

Auth, API, automations and AI are bundled, so the per-plugin costs disappear.

Self-hosting

Run on your infrastructure with no per-seat fee.

Reviewable changes

Every structural edit is a Git diff instead of a change inside Bubble’s canvas.

When not to switch yet

Hold off if:

Your app leans on Bubble’s free-form visual building that config can’t reproduce yet.

You depend on Bubble plugins with no Sovrium equivalent.

A rebuild isn’t worth it for a small, stable app.

Switching from Bubble — FAQ

Can I export my Bubble app?

Bubble doesn’t export a runnable app, but you can export your data. Switching is a deliberate rebuild as Sovrium config, which then stays portable.

How do I move my data?

Export Bubble data to CSV and import it into the matching Sovrium tables.

Do I have to rebuild every page?

Yes, as config pages — but the structured approach is faster than it sounds and far more reproducible.

Will I lose plugin functionality?

Most common plugin needs (auth, API, automation, AI) are built into Sovrium; niche plugins may need an API integration.

Do I have to self-host?

No — Sovrium Cloud hosts it for you, or self-host a single binary.

What about per-seat and plugin costs?

Both disappear on self-hosted Sovrium — no per-user fee and no per-plugin pricing.

Rebuild it once, own it forever

Move off Bubble to a portable, config-as-code app on your own database. Sovrium Cloud or self-host.
