Key Takeaways

• Workload Units, not the free duplicate, decide the bill, which is why a marketplace search can surprise the finance tab on Starter after launch week.
• A job board and an Instagram-shaped feed share a login and a repeating group, which is why staffing clients still get the wrong duplicate.
• There is no source-code export, so the template you duplicate is a lease on workflows and privacy rules, not a ZIP of React you can host elsewhere.

Introduction

Staffing-firm recruiters and boutique marketplace operators keep duplicating Bubble templates because the file already has a schema, a login, and two roles. I still open App Metrics before I trust that duplicate, because last week's Job search loaded every row before the filters ran.

According to Bubble pricing, monthly Web Starter is $32 and includes 175K workload units. Josh Haas and Emmanuel Straschnov's 2012 visual engine is still that stack: pages, data types, privacy rules, workflows, one host.

Next: the 20 free templates, the live demos on Bubble, and the Bubble starters in this set.

How Do You Choose Bubble Templates That Still Run as an App?

Count the roles, then constrain the first repeating group. Staffing-firm recruiters need Employer and Candidate types with a privacy rule they can say out loud. Boutique marketplace operators need Buyer and Vendor, plus a search that does not load every listing, because a pretty feed with no constraint is a brochure wearing a login screen.

Bubble stores pages, a visual database, workflows, and hosting in one project. Building a database website without SQL is the actual duplicate work. Stripe, Maps, and OpenAI sit behind the API connector, not behind a theme toggle.

Live rates sit on Bubble pricing. Each card below links to the template page, then to the Bubble preview.

Name the objects before you skin the UI:

• Two roles plus a listing: jobs, gigs, rentals, shops, rides.
• One teammate role: leads, charts, tasks, a whiteboard, a SaaS shell.
• A feed or a thread: profiles, matches, chat, often a native-typed mobile app.

Privacy rules decide who can read a listing, and a template that skips them is a demo with a login screen.

No-code security reviews start with who can drop a row. That test belongs on Modern Job Board as much as on Sales Pipeline CRM.

Which Kits Fit Marketplaces, Jobs, and Listings?

Use a marketplace kit when two logged-in sides share a listing and a payment or an application. Multi Vendor Storefront, Modern Job Board, and Gig Services Platform already ship those objects. Staffing-firm recruiters should start on the job board, not on a shop, unless the client actually sells SKUs.

Directory-shaped boards also sit in the free directory templates roundup. Stay on Bubble when the listing is a datatype with privacy rules, not a static card grid.

No-code apps that actually take money still need Stripe on the workflow, not only on the template card, because a two-sided app fails at the first empty search, not at the hero photograph.

1. Multi Vendor Storefront

All-in-one retail marketplace: consumer browsing, merchant dashboards, admin panels. Categories include Marketplace, Ecommerce, Online Shop, and Retail. Use it when vendors must log in. A single-SKU shop is closer to how Shopify opened checkout for non-devs than to this file.

• Front-end customer storefronts
• Merchant store dashboards
• Admin panels and live stats
• Shopping carts and wishlists
• Product search and category feeds

2. Modern Job Board

Talent-acquisition kit: position listings, resume submission, company profiles. Tagged HR, Marketplace, Directory, and Listing. This is the one I duplicate first for a staffing-firm recruiter who already has employers waiting.

• Dynamic job listing feeds
• Search filters, salary and location toggles
• Application forms
• Employer profile layouts
• Applicant dashboard status logs

Modern Job Board template · Bubble preview

3. Gig Services Platform

Fiverr-shaped services marketplace: seller and buyer dashboards, priced listings, proposals, Stripe checkout. Tagged Marketplace, Directory, Freelancer, and Services. Checkout still follows Stripe's payment API, not a fake cart.

• Service listings and project browsing
• Seller and buyer dashboards
• Proposals and order management
• Ratings, reviews, messaging
• Stripe payments

Gig Services Platform template · Bubble preview

4. Freelancer Marketplace

Upwork-shaped variant: portfolios, job posts, proposals, milestone escrow on Stripe, contracts. Use this when the money should sit in escrow, not in a single cart.

• Freelancer profiles and job postings
• Project proposals
• Milestone payments and escrow
• Messaging and contracts
• Admin dashboard

Freelancer Marketplace template · Bubble preview

5. Vacation Rental Marketplace

Airbnb-shaped rental app: listings, location and price filters, booking, host and guest profiles, Stripe, reviews, messaging. Tagged Marketplace, Hotel, Travel, and Booking.

• Property listings and advanced search
• Booking system and price filters
• Host profiles and guest reviews
• Messaging
• Stripe payments

Vacation Rental Marketplace template · Bubble preview

6. Travel Marketplace

Tour-booking platform: search, tour detail pages, accommodations, provider profiles, reviews, availability. Use it for packaged tours and lodging, not for a single rental calendar.

• Tour search and detail pages
• Accommodation listings
• Provider profiles and reviews
• Booking and availability
• News and tips section

Travel Marketplace template · Bubble preview

7. Property Marketplace

Real-estate listings with Google Maps, saved searches, buyer and seller profiles, role-based access. Tagged Marketplace, Real Estate, Listing, and Directory.

• Google Maps
• Buyer and seller profiles
• Messaging and saved searches
• Admin dashboard and notifications

Property Marketplace template · Bubble preview

8. Rideshare Platform

Mobile-typed Uber-shaped kit: rider and driver dashboards, live booking, Google Maps distance, Stripe, ratings. This is a native vs web app call before it is a color call. I still refuse to quote Web Starter $32 on this clone until one live search has run on App Metrics.

• Rider and driver dashboards
• Real-time booking and driver tracking
• Google Maps and pricing
• Trip history and ratings
• Admin panel and Stripe

Which Layouts Fit CRM, Analytics, and Internal Ops?

Pick a CRM, dashboard, or starter kit when the visitor is a teammate, not a shopper. Sales Pipeline CRM, Data Analytics, and Project Management already model leads, charts, and tasks. Boutique marketplace operators who also run a back office should duplicate one of these instead of hiding ops inside a storefront.

Retool's internal-tools path exists for SQL-heavy shops, while Bubble keeps the same job on a visual graph. Sales Pipeline CRM is for a sales floor. Project Management is for tasks. Do not hide either inside a storefront.

No code frontend vs backend still splits the painted screen from the row that has to persist. A minimum viable product can start on the empty SaaS shell, not on a vertical marketplace you will delete. The CRM you will actually update beats the dashboard you will screenshot once.

9. Sales Pipeline CRM

Lead tracking, drag-and-drop deal stages, contacts, activity logs, role-based team access. Built for a sales floor, not a public homepage.

• Lead and deal tracking
• Pipeline visualization
• Contact records and opportunities
• Activity logging
• Team roles

Sales Pipeline CRM template · Bubble preview

10. Ecommerce CRM

Shop ops, not a storefront: catalog, orders, customer records, inventory, sales analytics. Pair it with Multi Vendor Storefront if you need both the public shop and the back office.

• Product and inventory management
• Order tracking and history
• Customer database
• Admin panel
• Sales analytics

Ecommerce CRM template · Bubble preview

11. Data Analytics

Chart kit: bar, line, pie, KPI tiles, date pickers, filters, export. Tagged Analytics, Database, Dashboard, and SaaS. Unfiltered charts are a WU trap if every tile searches the whole table.

• Interactive charts and KPI displays
• Filters and date pickers
• Dashboard layouts
• Data export
• Real-time updates

Data Analytics template · Bubble preview

12. Project Management

Tasky-style ops: projects, assignments, due dates, upvotes, comments, files. Tagged Project Management, Productivity, Management, and SaaS.

• Project creation and task assignment
• Due dates and upvoting
• Dashboard and comments
• File attachments
• User tracking

Project Management template · Bubble preview

13. Team Whiteboard

Hiro Board-style canvas: real-time editing, invites, Jitsi video, Stripe subscriptions, admin roles. Remote teams will pay the WU bill here if every cursor event is a workflow.

• Real-time whiteboard
• Team invites and admin roles
• Jitsi video calls
• Email notifications
• Stripe subscriptions

Team Whiteboard template · Bubble preview

14. Web App Starter Kit

Flexbox starter: responsive containers, breakpoints, reusable components, dashboard patterns. Tagged SaaS, Technology, Dashboard, and Startup. Responsive design is the point of this file. Use it when you need a shell, not a vertical.

• Flexbox layouts and CSS grid
• Breakpoint controls
• Mobile-first containers
• Reusable components
• Dashboard patterns

Web App Starter Kit template · Bubble preview

15. SaaS App Starter Kit

Auth-and-billing shell: signup, login, Stripe subscriptions, roles, user management, export. Tagged Technology, SaaS, Dashboard, and Startup. This is the empty SaaS product you fill, not the marketplace you rebrand. The SaaS founder builder guide is the longer plan conversation.

• Signup and login
• Stripe subscription billing
• Role-based access
• User management
• Data export

Which Starters Fit Chat, Dating, and Native-Looking Mobile?

Use a social, dating, or chat starter when the product is a feed, a match, or a thread. Social Network, Dating Swipe App, and Messaging Platform are listed as Bubble mobile apps. The client still shares one database and one Workload Unit pool with any web app in the same project.

Native iOS and Android publishing, according to Bubble, runs on React Native and needs a paid Mobile plan to go live. That is a cross-platform app with a shared backend, not a second rebuild. FlutterFlow's App Store path is the other native story. Full mobile allotments sit on Bubble pricing: Starter $49/mo, Growth $199, Team $529 on monthly billing.

A swipe mechanic is a workflow and a data type, not a CSS animation you can paste into Carrd.

16. Social Network

Instagram-shaped mobile kit: profiles, feed, posts, comments, likes, follows, DMs, discovery. Tagged Social Media, Community, Lifestyle, and Membership.

• User profiles and social feed
• Posts, comments, likes
• Follow system
• Direct messaging
• User discovery

Social Network template · Bubble preview

17. Dating Swipe App

Tinder-shaped mobile matcher: swipe left and right, location filters, super likes, Facebook login, Stripe. Location searches will eat WUs if you do not constrain the geo query.

• Swipe mechanics and super likes
• Location and preference filters
• Profile browsing
• Match messaging and notifications
• Social login and Stripe

Dating Swipe App template · Bubble preview

18. Messaging Platform

WhatsApp-shaped mobile client: 1:1 and group chat, voice notes, files, video calls, pins, last-seen. Tagged Communication, Chat, Productivity, and SaaS.

• One-on-one and group chat
• Voice messages and file sharing
• Video calls
• Pinned conversations
• Last-seen status

Messaging Platform template · Bubble preview

19. Messaging App

WhatsApp Web-shaped desktop twin: 1:1, groups, files, images, online status, history. Use this for a support inbox. Use Messaging Platform when the client wants an App Store build.

• One-on-one and group chat
• File and image sharing
• Chat lists and history
• User status
• Real-time notifications

Messaging App template · Bubble preview

20. AI Career Coaching

Mobile copilot: chatbot, resume and cover-letter generation, interview prep, job-search help, subscription billing. OpenAI-class calls are a second meter on top of Bubble WUs. An AI agent is not a chatbot if it writes rows. Compare the wider AI app builder field before you assume this file is the product.

• AI chatbot and career guidance
• Resume and cover-letter builders
• Interview prep and job search
• Application automation
• Subscription billing

What Do Bubble Templates Cost After the Free File?

The Bubble template is free to duplicate. The invoice is the plan, Workload Units, and storage. According to the Bubble pricing page, monthly Web Starter is $32 and Web Growth is $134. Custom domains and live apps start on paid plans, not on the Free 50K-WU sandbox.

The editor is on Bubble. Is no-code worth it is that meter question. A wider website builder cost comparison still will not export your Bubble graph.

According to Bubble, Free includes 50K workload units per month and one editor. Starter includes 175K WU, Growth 250K, Team 500K. The Bubble manual prices flexible overages at $0.30 per 1,000 WU, and extra file storage at $3 per 100 GB.

The duplicate is free. The repeating group is what you pay for.

Workload Units meter searches, not screenshots, which is why a pretty feed can still invoice like a warehouse.

Growth adds a second editor, 10 custom branches, and 14-day logs. Team adds five editors and sub-apps. Bubble does not export source code, so leaving later is a rewrite. Privacy rules take real time to learn, and data-heavy apps lag if searches are not constrained.

Decision Framework

Score the duplicate against these five checks. Skip the screenshot contest. Staffing-firm recruiters fail check one when they open Social Network because the feed looked expensive.

1. Count the roles. Two sides means Modern Job Board, Gig Services Platform, or Multi Vendor Storefront. One teammate role means Sales Pipeline CRM. A feed means Social Network.
2. Say the privacy rule out loud. If a client will edit data, you need a rule you can explain, and often Growth's second editor at $134/mo. The first month is usually the privacy-rule month.
3. Price the repeating group against 175K WU. The file is $0. Starter includes 175K units. Unindexed Job or Listing searches are how that cap disappears. I have watched a catalog look cheap in the editor and expensive on App Metrics.
4. Pick web or native before hex codes. Rideshare Platform, Dating Swipe App, Social Network, Messaging Platform, and AI Career Coaching are mobile-typed. Live App Store builds need Mobile Starter at $49/mo. Messaging App is the browser twin. A web app and a store build are not the same invoice.
5. Price the rewrite. Leaving Bubble is a rebuild. No-code versus vibe code is a storage fight: graph versus Git. Will AI replace no-code already flags that export is not a running Bubble app.

When two kits overlap, keep the one whose first repeating group is already filtered. Keep Bubble pricing and the Bubble starters in this set open while you quote.

I still put staffing clients on Modern Job Board even when Social Network wins the screenshot round.

If you cannot name the two sides of the marketplace, you picked a costume, not a data model.

FAQ

What is a Bubble template?

A Bubble template is a prebuilt app you duplicate into the Bubble editor, then edit as pages, data types, privacy rules, and workflows. You still need a Bubble account to customize and publish, because templates live on Bubble's hosted engine.

Are these layouts free?

Yes. Every layout in this roundup is free to duplicate in Bubble, including Multi Vendor Storefront and Project Management. Bubble still charges to connect a custom domain and to raise Workload Unit limits, which is why the file and the live app are different prices.

How much does Bubble cost to publish an app?

According to the Bubble pricing page, monthly Web Starter is $32 and Web Growth is $134. Annual billing lists Starter at $29 per month. Workload Unit overages sit on top of those floors.

Can I export a Bubble app as a Git repo?

No. Bubble stores logic as a visual graph on its engine, so leaving means a rewrite rather than a Git clone. Confirm that lock-in before you attach a client domain, especially on a marketplace with years of listing data.

Can I use a Bubble template for client work?

Yes. You can customize and deploy these templates for client projects. Confirm Bubble's template and hosting license before you attach a client domain. Watch privacy rules, because a teammate with editor access can still break data constraints.
