Best ai-app-builders for agencies

#4 avg. position
+9 ahead of Softr

Bubble leads the agency AI app builder question by sheer presence, appearing in 92% of answers, but no single platform commands the slot.

Bubble's near-universal mention rate puts it ahead on raw reach, yet its average position of 4 signals that the assistants treat it as a reliable fallback rather than an outright winner. Softr is the sharpest challenger: it averages position 2 when it appears and shows up in 67% of answers, meaning it ranks higher on the list when it does get recommended. Totalum stands out differently — it hits average position 1, the top spot, but only in half the answers, all from Perplexity and ChatGPT, suggesting Gemini doesn't rate it for agency use. The answers consistently cite multi-client management, white-labeling, and client portal capabilities as the deciding factors, which is why Softr and Totalum compete closely with Bubble despite lower mention rates.

Slot score is position-weighted, 0 to 100: being recommended first counts far more than a trailing mention. "Appears in" is the share of answers naming the brand at all.

How this was measured

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini each answered this question in two phrasings, several times each, with live web access and citations: the closest API-reachable version of the real assistant experience (no personalization or account memory, which no vendor can provide). Model-memory answers (no web) are measured separately and shown above as a comparison surface. A brand counts once per answer that recommends it. The exact questions:
