If you’ve spent any time building on Bubble, you know it already gives you a ton of power to design and launch apps without code. But here’s the thing. Bubble apps become truly impressive when you bring plugins into the mix. Plugins are like the secret ingredients that can save you time and make your app feel like it belongs in the App Store or Google Play.
The catch? You do not need every plugin out there. What you need are the right ones that align with your vision. So let’s talk about 11 plugins that are making a real impact in 2025 and how they can elevate your next Bubble project.
Stripe.js for Payments
Payments are tricky, but users expect them to feel seamless. Stripe.js makes it easy to handle one-time purchases, subscriptions, or even marketplace-style payouts. Imagine running a tutoring app where you take a small commission while paying tutors directly. Stripe.js handles the math and security so you can focus on your users.
Mapbox Maps for Location Features
From delivery tracking to fitness apps, location is a core part of modern software. Mapbox Maps lets you add interactive maps and search tools. That little feature adds a ton of trust.
Zeroqode PDF Generator
Sometimes users just need something they can download. Zeroqode’s PDF Generator plugin turns Bubble pages into polished PDFs. A course app can hand out instant completion certificates, while a booking platform can generate receipts. It’s a detail that feels small but makes your app look professional.
Algolia Search
A clunky search bar can frustrate users. Algolia makes search instant and smart. Picture an online store where a shopper types blue sneakers and results pop up before they finish the word. It feels natural and modern.
Twilio SMS
Email can get lost, but texts usually get noticed. With Twilio, your app can send reminders or verification codes. If you’re building a healthcare booking system, patients can receive SMS reminders so they never miss an appointment.
Bubble Chart Tools
Numbers on a spreadsheet are hard to digest. Charts tell stories. Bubble Chart Tools lets you build engaging visuals so data becomes meaningful.
API Connector for Endless Integrations
This plugin is a powerhouse. The API Connector lets you connect your app to almost any service online. From weather data to AI tools, you can pull in whatever your app needs.
PayPal Commerce Platform
Not everyone wants to use Stripe, especially outside the US. PayPal is still a trusted option for millions of people worldwide. Adding PayPal as a payment method gives your users confidence and flexibility, which often translates into more completed checkouts.
Google Analytics 4
If you cannot track user behavior, you cannot improve your app. Google Analytics 4 helps you see where people drop off, what features they use most, and which devices they prefer. With that information, you can tweak your app in ways that actually matter.
Video.js Player for Engaging Content
Video has taken over nearly every industry. The Video.js Player plugin makes it easy to embed and customize videos in Bubble. For example, an online learning app can stream lectures and track progress.
OneSignal for Push Notifications
Push notifications keep users coming back. With OneSignal, you can send updates directly to devices. A shopping app can notify users about flash sales, while a social app can alert them to new messages. Those little nudges build loyalty and repeat visits.
Why Plugins Matter in 2025
Users today expect apps to be fast and full of features. They do not care if your app was built with Bubble or with custom code. Plugins help you meet those expectations and let you focus on what makes your app different.
Wrapping Up
Bubble is powerful enough to get you from idea to launch, but plugins take you the rest of the way. These 11 stand out in 2025 because they solve real problems and add polish to your apps. Payments, search, maps, notifications, analytics, and integrations are no longer headaches. They are opportunities to make your app feel professional and future-ready.
So whether you are starting your first Bubble project or upgrading an existing one, experiment with these plugins. See how they fit your goals, and do not be afraid to combine them in creative ways. Plugins are the bridge between a good app and a great one, and the Bubble ecosystem in 2025 makes that bridge easier to cross than ever.
