+23 ahead of Glide

Bubble owns the mid-market no-code question, appearing in 92% of answers with a slot score 23 points clear of the nearest challenger.

Bubble lands in nearly every answer across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, and the reasoning is consistent: it handles complex web applications, marketplaces, and enterprise workflows at a depth the lighter tools cannot match for a 250-person org. Glide and Adalo each appear in 75% of answers but average position 5, meaning they get recommended as supporting options for narrower use cases like spreadsheet-backed portals or mobile apps rather than as primary picks. Softr follows a similar pattern at 67% presence and average position 4, typically surfaced for customer-facing portals. OutSystems and Mendix show up in 42% of answers but only through Gemini and ChatGPT, suggesting those two models are factoring in enterprise-grade governance needs that Perplexity does not weigh as heavily for this company size.

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:

• "What's the best no-code app builder for a mid-market company with about 250 employees?"
• "We're a 250-person company that has outgrown its starter tools. Which no-code app builder should we use?"
