In short
A Bubble-to-code migration moves your app from Bubble to code, such as Next.js. Migrations start at $12,500. You get a fixed price in writing before work starts, the new code lives in accounts you own, and you get a 30-day bug-fix window after launch. If staying on Bubble is the better call for your app, I'll tell you.
The app moves one piece at a time while your Bubble app stays live.
Stay on Bubble if

FAQ
Should I stay on Bubble?
Often, yes. Stay if your app works and your users are not hitting Bubble's limits, if you ship changes every week with a small team and Bubble keeps up, or if your problems are bugs or speed, which an audit or a rescue can fix. If staying on Bubble is the better call for your app, I'll tell you. The checklist is in Should you migrate off Bubble?
Does my Bubble app stay live during the migration?
Yes. The app moves one piece at a time while your Bubble app stays live. Your users keep using it until the new app is ready to take over.
Which stack do you migrate to?
Next.js by default, with the code in accounts you own. If your team already works in another stack, tell me on the call.
Do my users and data move over?
Yes. Your users and your data move to the new app as part of the migration. How sign-ins move over is set out in the written plan you approve before work starts.
What moves the price?
The scope sets the final number. You get the exact price in writing before work starts, and nothing is charged before you approve it.
Who owns the new code?
You do. The new code lives in accounts you own from the first commit, so you can take it to any developer at any time.
What happens after launch?
You get a 30-day bug-fix window after launch. After that, the code is yours to run with your team, or you can hire me for ongoing work, priced separately.
