Bubble App Rescue: Fix the App You Already Have

Slow pages, data leaking through weak privacy rules, rising workload costs, or a developer who disappeared? We take over struggling Bubble.io apps, fix what matters most first, and leave you with an app you can grow.

Signs your Bubble app needs a rescue

Most rescues start with one of these. If two or more sound familiar, it is time for a proper look.

  • Pages are slow, especially as your data grows
  • You are not sure who can see which data
  • Workload unit costs keep climbing
  • Every change breaks something else
  • The original developer has gone, or stopped replying
  • Payments fail or need manual fixes
  • Nobody fully understands how the app works
  • You cannot ship the features your users are asking for

What we fix

We focus on the problems that put your users, your data and your revenue at risk, then make the app easier to grow.

Security and privacy rules

We check every data type, close gaps that expose user data, and make sure sensitive actions are protected on the server.

Performance

Slow searches, heavy repeating groups and inefficient page loads, fixed so the app stays fast as data grows.

Workload costs

We find what is consuming workload units and restructure searches and workflows to bring costs back under control.

Bugs and broken workflows

We trace recurring bugs to their cause rather than patching symptoms, so they stay fixed.

Payments

Stripe setups that miss webhooks or fail silently, made reliable so you stop losing revenue.

Structure and handover

Cleaner data structure, reusable elements and clear notes, so any Bubble developer can work on the app after us.

How a rescue works

No long contracts. You see what is wrong and what it costs before any fixing starts.

  1. Free callTell us what is going wrong. Take the free scorecard first if you like, so we start with your answers.
  2. ReviewWe look inside the app and send a prioritised list of problems, with estimated hours for each fix.
  3. Fix in priority orderSecurity and data issues first, then performance, costs and bugs. You approve each step.
  4. Ongoing supportOptional: keep us on hand for new features and maintenance, at the same hourly rate.

Rescue or rebuild?

Most apps can be rescued. Some cannot, and we will say so. A rebuild usually makes more sense when nobody can safely change the app, the data structure is fundamentally wrong, or every fix creates new problems. In that case a Discovery Sprint gives you a fixed rebuild quote in 24 to 48 hours, so you can compare both options with real numbers.

Rescue and support$35/hour

Billed for actual work, after a free call and an agreed list of fixes.

Discovery Sprint$345

A full requirements document and fixed quote in 24 to 48 hours, credited toward a rebuild.

Full rebuild on BubbleFrom $3,500

A clean rebuild that reuses what works, with most MVPs delivered in 2 to 6 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Bubble app rescue cost?

Rescue work is billed at $35 an hour, starting with a free call and a review of the problems. After the review you get a prioritised list of fixes with estimated hours, so you decide what to fix and when.

Do I need to give you access to my app?

Yes, to fix it we need collaborator access to your Bubble app. You stay the owner throughout, and you can remove our access at any time.

My original developer disappeared. Can you take over?

Yes. Taking over apps from developers who have moved on is one of the most common rescue situations. We start by mapping how the app works, then fix the most urgent problems first.

When is a rebuild better than a rescue?

When nobody can safely change the app, the data structure is fundamentally wrong, or every fix creates new bugs, patching usually costs more over time than rebuilding cleanly. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.

Can you reduce my Bubble workload unit costs?

Often, yes. High workload usage usually comes from inefficient searches, workflows that run more often than needed, or heavy pages. Fixing these can lower costs and speed the app up at the same time.
