Scryptic moves Bubble, Lovable, Glide and Airtable apps to code you own, with your users and data brought across.
Where from
17 builders and platforms, each with a free step by step migration guide.
These tools write real code, so the move is usually about hardening and owning it.
Most of these keep the app on their platform, so the move is a planned rebuild with your data and users.
Often the answer is to keep the marketing site where it is and build the product next to it.
When an internal tool or a spreadsheet base turns into the product customers use.
Platforms that run core business systems, where the move is about licence cost, lock-in and keeping the business running while you rebuild.
What moves
The whole app moves, not just its screens, and is checked before the old one is switched off.
Pricing
The same two fixed-price sprints. The audit settles which one fits.

Migrate or stay
Not every app should move. If it works, the costs are fine and nothing is blocked, stay where you are.

FAQ
What founders ask before moving off a no-code or AI builder.
Migrations are priced like our MVPs: a fixed price, plus VAT. The MVP is £10,000 for a 2 week development sprint, and The Extended MVP is £20,000 for a 3 week development sprint. For a limited time there is 25% off our next two MVPs, bringing them to £7,500 and £15,000. Which one fits depends on the screens, workflows and integrations your app has, which the audit works out before a price is agreed.
Two or three weeks of build once the scope is agreed, then a week of handover and support. Your current app keeps running throughout and is only switched off once the new one is live and checked.
No. Accounts and their data move across. Most builders do not export password hashes, so at launch users get an email with a password reset or a one-time sign-in link, with a heads-up a few days before.
Not with a rehearsed migration. The data is exported, mapped to the new database and imported several times before the real move, with counts and spot checks each time. The final export runs at cutover, so nothing written in the meantime is missed.
It depends on the tool. AI app builders such as Lovable, Bolt.new, v0 and Replit write real code, so the work is hardening and owning it. Bubble, Adalo and Glide keep the app on their platform, so it is rebuilt and the data moved. Tools with a code export, such as FlutterFlow and WeWeb, give a starting point that usually needs work before production.
TypeScript, Next.js and Postgres, hosted on infrastructure in your name, with Stripe for payments. It is a mainstream stack, so any web developer you hire later can work on it.
Yes, as long as every old URL keeps its address or permanently redirects to its closest new page. We map the URLs before the move and set the redirects at launch. Often a marketing site on Webflow or Framer can stay where it is, with the app built next to it.
Not always. If the app does its job, the costs are fine and nothing on the roadmap is blocked, staying put is cheaper. Moving makes sense when fees climb with usage, the platform blocks features, or investors and customers ask who owns the code. The audit gives a straight answer either way.
Yes, within the sprint's scope. A rebuild is a good moment to drop features nobody uses and fix the workflows users complain about, but keeping the first release close to the old app means users recognise it. The agreed scope says which changes are in.
You do. The code lives in your repository, and the hosting, database, storage and payment accounts are in your name and handed over at launch. Nothing is locked to us or to a platform.
Walk us through what you have built. We will look at the app, its data and its accounts, and tell you whether moving is worth it.
