Free plan and going live

Sign up free and build with no time limit, up to 3 campaigns, 3 locations and 3 notifications. Upgrade in Billing when you want more, or want your own app.

There is one workspace, and it's live. Everything you create is real as soon as it's active: there's no separate Sandbox, no workspace switcher and no test devices to approve. You start on the Free plan and upgrade in Billing when you need more.

What the Free plan includes#

Sign up with Create your free account: your company name, your name, your work email and a password. It creates your company on the Free plan. The dashboard calls this the free trial, and it has no time limit.

Every campaign, location and notification counts towards its limit, whether it's active or not. Free includes the dashboard, message and image notifications, footfall, heatmaps and reports.

The banner and the limits#

While you're on Free, a banner at the top of the dashboard says "You're on the free trial", with a meter for Campaigns, Locations and Notifications, and Compare plans and Upgrade buttons. You can dismiss it while you have room.

At a limit, the banner turns amber and stays. Creating another one is refused and the dashboard offers an upgrade. Everything you already have keeps running, and owners get an email, for example "You've used all 3 campaigns". People who aren't owners or admins see "Ask an owner or admin to upgrade".

To make room without upgrading, delete one you no longer need.

What Free doesn't include#

• Audio and video in notifications.
• Surveys.
• Importing locations from a file.
• The media library.
• More than 2 team members.
• Your own app. See the next section.

Your own app needs a paid plan#

On Free, the only phones that work are ones running Bubbl's Showcase demo app. Connect it yourself from See it on your phone in the sidebar: install it, then scan the QR code in the dashboard. Any team member can connect a phone, and Showcase phones aren't billed. The steps, with screenshots, are in See it on your phone.

Configuration › Developers and Push are greyed out in the sidebar, and opening one shows "Upgrade your plan to use your own app". Your own app can't register with Bubbl until you subscribe.

Upgrade#

Owners and admins can upgrade from Company › Billing. Choose Bronze, Silver or Gold: Billing shows what each costs. Subscribing removes the limits above and adds audio, video, surveys, location import, the media library and your own app. See Billing.
