Introduction: 

If you're a startup founder or a budding no-code developer searching for the perfect no-code bubble agency to bring your project to life, you're in the right place.

In this article, we'll dive deep into an exhaustive analysis of the top Bubble.io agencies, exploring their strengths, weaknesses, and estimated pricing for completing projects. 

But before we get into the details, let's first take a look at how Bubble.io evaluates and rates its agencies.

How Bubble.io Rates Its Agencies: 

Bubble.io uses a combination of several metrics to rate an agency before assigning the bronze, silver and gold ratings. These metrics include:

  1. Annual revenue generated on the Bubble ecosystem; which includes the enterprise app revenue, self-serve app revenue, agency account revenue and marketplace revenue.

  1. Number of transitioned apps in the bubble ecosystem; which refers to the number of apps a bubble agency has handed off to clients.

  1. The Bubble agency client satisfaction score (CSAT); which is often obtained from each client as a rating from 1-5 given to each agency after the completion of each project.

  1. The Percentage of Bubble Certified Developers on the team; which is a measure of how many experienced developers are on the agency team according to Bubble’s certification released in 2023.

To avoid redundancy, the Bubble.io tiering for each agency only  stays in place for one quarter (three months) after which it’s re-reviewed and new ratings are assigned.
