Common questions

Suriya vs Bubble — which is better for Thai businesses?

For Thai SMEs, Suriya wins on price, speed, and local features. Bubble's cheapest useful plan is $29/mo (~฿1,050) with no Thai integrations, and it takes weeks to build a working app. Suriya is ฿499/mo with Thai features built-in and a working app in 8 minutes.

Is Bubble hard to learn?

Yes — Bubble has a notoriously steep learning curve. Most users spend 2–4 weeks watching tutorials before launching their first real app. Suriya requires no learning — just describe your business in Thai and the AI builds it for you.

Does Bubble support PromptPay?

Not natively. You'd need to build a custom payment integration using Bubble's API connector, which requires technical knowledge and additional setup time. Suriya includes PromptPay QR natively.

How does the pricing compare long-term?

Bubble's free plan has limited features and shows Bubble branding. The Starter plan at $29/mo (~฿1,050) is minimal. For a real business app with databases and workflows, you're looking at $119/mo (~฿4,300+). Suriya is ฿499/mo with everything a Thai SME needs included.

Which is better for a restaurant or salon?

Suriya, without question. It's designed specifically for Thai restaurants, salons, clinics, and shops — with loyalty programs, booking systems, and PromptPay ready on day one. Building the same functionality in Bubble would take weeks and cost significantly more.
