I built free embeddable UI tools for Bubble.io builders — no plugin, no paid plan needed

#bubble #nocode #webdev #buildinpublic

The problem

Every Bubble.io project I've worked on had the same frustrating pattern:

  • Pricing tables take hours to build properly
  • FAQ sections require complex workflows and states
  • I was rebuilding the same UI components from scratch every single project

Bubble is powerful. But it has real gaps in UI components and infrastructure.

What I built

I spent the last week building rsvpscale.in — a free platform with embeddable tools specifically for Bubble.io builders.

The concept is simple:

  1. Go to rsvpscale.in
  2. Pick a tool and customize it (2 minutes)
  3. Copy one iframe snippet
  4. Paste into any Bubble HTML element
  5. Done ✅

No plugin to install. No paid Bubble plan required. No API tokens. Free forever.

What's live right now

🧩 BubblePricing

Build a beautiful pricing table with:

  • Monthly/yearly billing toggle
  • "Most Popular" plan highlight
  • Custom brand colors
  • Up to 4 pricing tiers
  • CTA buttons with custom URLs

Try BubblePricing →

❓ BubbleFAQ

Build an accordion FAQ section with:

  • Unlimited questions
  • Custom brand colors
  • Line or card border styles
  • Open first item by default option

Try BubbleFAQ →

How the embed works

The entire config is stored as base64 encoded JSON in the iframe URL:

<iframe 
  src="https://rsvpscale.in/embed/pricing?config=BASE64_CONFIG"
  width="100%" 
  height="500" 
  frameborder="0">
</iframe>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

No backend storage needed. No database. The URL IS the config.

The embed page decodes the config and renders the tool. Clean and simple.

The tech stack

  • Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
  • Auth: Firebase Authentication
  • Analytics: PostHog
  • Hosting: Vercel
  • Payments: Razorpay (coming soon)

What's coming next

Phase 1 (current) — 8 free embed tools:

  • BubbleTestimonials
  • BubbleCountdown
  • BubbleCookieBanner
  • BubbleAnnouncement
  • BubbleWaitlist
  • BubbleChangelog

Phase 2 — Secure data infrastructure:

  • BulkCSV 2.0 — import unlimited CSV rows without exposing your Bubble API token
  • Plugin handles DB writes natively — no Data API URL needed

Phase 3 — Admin builder:

  • Connect your Bubble app → get an auto-generated admin panel
  • "Retool for Bubble" but 10x simpler

Phase 4 — AI search:

  • Instant search for any Bubble app
  • Fixes the biggest Bubble performance pain point

The business model

Free tools drive traffic → AdSense revenue.

Pro plan ($9/mo) removes watermark and adds custom branding.
Business plan ($29/mo) unlocks data infrastructure and admin builder.

Lessons from building this in a week

  1. Ship before it's perfect — BubblePricing worked on day 3. I could have waited for all 8 tools but launched with 2.
  2. Solve a real pain — I've felt this pain myself on every Bubble project. That makes marketing easy.
  3. Free first — No friction to try. Watermark creates viral growth.
  4. Config in URL — No backend needed for embeds. Genius pattern I'm stealing from Typeform.

Would love your feedback — especially if you're a Bubble builder.

What tool would help you most in your Bubble projects?
