Why choose Capacity over Bubble?

The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Bubble is headquartered in US, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes — the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.

Capacity removes that overhead. As a France-based provider, it operates natively under GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors — health, public administration, finance — that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single non-EU jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — Capacity is one of the top-ranked European alternatives to Bubble in our directory, covering the same developer tools use case. It is headquartered in France, keeping your data under EU law by default.
What's the main difference between Capacity and Bubble?
The biggest difference is jurisdiction: Capacity is based in France and operates under GDPR and EU data-protection law, while Bubble is headquartered in US and may transfer data outside the EU. For regulated industries or organisations following Schrems II guidance, this difference is decisive.
Is Capacity GDPR-compliant?
Capacity is a European company based in France, so GDPR compliance is the default operating model — not a bolt-on. No transfer impact assessment is required for EU customers, unlike when using Bubble.
How do I migrate from Bubble to Capacity?
Start by exporting your data from Bubble (most providers offer an export in their settings). Then import into Capacity using its native import tool or migration guide. Running both in parallel for a week catches any feature or workflow gaps before you fully switch.
