Quick Comparison
How We Tested Build Speed
We measured the real-world time to create a live, trading-ready token website.
To ensure a fair comparison, we defined a standard test project: a website for a new Solana meme token called 'SPEEDTEST.' The requirements were a homepage with tokenomics, a live chart, a 'Buy Now' widget connected to a Solana DEX, and a connected wallet. We timed two experienced developers independently building this project on each platform, measuring four phases:
- Account & Project Setup: Creating an account and starting a new project.
- Core Build Time: Using the platform's tools to create the page layout and core content.
- Token & Finance Integration: Connecting the site to the Solana token and adding trading functionality.
- Deployment & Launch: Making the site publicly live on a domain.
All times are the average of three separate build attempts, excluding initial learning curves.
Phase 1: Account & Project Setup
The initial hurdle: getting from zero to a blank canvas.
- Spawned: As an integrated part of the token launchpad, setup begins after token creation. You select 'Build Website' from your project dashboard. No separate account is needed. Average Time: < 30 seconds.
- Bubble: Requires signing up for a Bubble.io account (if new), selecting a plan (we used the Basic plan at $29/month), and creating a new application. You must then orient yourself within Bubble's workspace. Average Time: 5-7 minutes.
Verdict: Spawned's integrated workflow eliminates 95% of the setup time required by Bubble's standalone model.
Phase 2: Core Website Build Time
This phase covers creating the page structure, adding text, images, and basic styling.
- Spawned: The AI builder uses a prompt. We entered: 'Create a website for SPEEDTEST token, a Solana meme coin. Include hero section with logo, short description, tokenomics table, roadmap, and team section.' The AI generated a complete, styled first draft in 45 seconds. Minor manual tweaks (changing colors, text) took an additional 60 seconds. Total Average: ~2 minutes.
- Bubble: Building requires dragging and dropping visual elements (containers, text boxes, images) onto a canvas and manually configuring each one's properties (size, position, style). Creating a comparable layout with basic sections took 35-50 minutes for a proficient user. Responsive design adjustments add significant time.
Phase 3: Token & Financial Feature Integration
The most critical phase: making the site functional for a token. This includes connecting to the Solana token address, adding a live price chart, and embedding a 'Buy' widget.
- Spawned: Features are pre-built components. You paste your token mint address. The platform auto-populates the chart (via Birdeye/Tensor), embeds a buy widget (via Jupiter), and adds a wallet connection button. Average Time: 90 seconds.
- Bubble: This requires external plugins and API work. Steps include: finding and installing a Solana wallet connector plugin (like 'WalletConnect'), configuring it; finding a chart plugin (or using an iFrame); manually creating a transaction widget via API calls to Jupiter or Raydium. This process is complex and prone to configuration errors. Average Time: 30-60 minutes (for a developer).
Phase 4: Deployment & Going Live
Taking the site from a preview to a publicly accessible URL.
- Spawned: Deployment is automatic and instantaneous upon launching your token on the Spawned launchpad. The site gets a permanent subdomain (e.g.,
yourtoken.spawned.com). Average Time: 0 seconds (part of launch). - Bubble: You must connect a custom domain (purchased separately) within Bubble's settings, which involves configuring DNS records. Alternatively, you can use a Bubble.io subdomain. The publishing process itself takes 1-2 minutes, but domain propagation can take up to 48 hours. Average Time (for setup): 15-30 minutes.
Final Speed Test Results & Verdict
The stopwatch doesn't lie. Here's the final tally.
Total Average Time to Live, Functional Token Site:
- Spawned AI Builder: ~4-5 minutes
- Bubble Manual Build: ~85-147+ minutes
The Verdict: Spawned is 8-10x Faster for Token Sites.
For the specific use case of launching a Solana token website, Spawned's purpose-built, integrated AI builder is decisively faster. Bubble is a powerful general no-code tool, but its generality becomes a speed bottleneck. The need to manually assemble every element, source and configure financial plugins, and handle deployment creates hours of work that Spawned automates.
If your primary goal is to launch a token with a professional site in the same time it takes to brew coffee, Spawned is the clear choice. If you need to build a complex, custom web application unrelated to tokens, Bubble's flexibility may justify the longer build time. For token creators, speed directly impacts launch momentum and potential revenue. See our broader AI builder comparisons.
Why Build Speed is Critical for Token Launches
In the fast-paced world of memecoins and new tokens, development speed translates directly to competitive advantage and potential success.
- Capture Momentum: A token trending on social media needs a website immediately to convert interest into holders. A 4-minute site versus a 2-hour build can be the difference between catching a wave and missing it.
- Reduce Overhead: Time spent building is time not spent on marketing, community building, or development. Faster tools let small teams or solo creators operate more efficiently.
- Iterate Quickly: Market feedback may require quick website updates (changing a roadmap, adding a partner). AI-driven tools allow near-instant edits compared to manual rebuilding.
- Lower Barrier to Entry: Speed reduces the technical intimidation factor, allowing more creators to participate in the Solana ecosystem without deep web dev knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bubble isn't inherently 'slow,' but it is a generalist tool. This test is specific to building a *Solana token website*, which requires niche financial plugins and blockchain integration. Spawned is a specialist tool where these complex features are pre-built and automated. For a standard business website without crypto features, Bubble's speed would be more competitive. For token sites, the need for manual plugin setup creates a significant time gap.
Yes, but within a defined scope. Spawned's AI builder is optimized for standard token website sections (hero, tokenomics, roadmap, buy widget, team). You can edit all generated text, images, and styles. For highly unconventional layouts or non-token related web applications (like a custom dashboard or social network), Bubble's blank-canvas, drag-and-drop approach offers more ultimate flexibility, at the cost of much greater build time and technical complexity.
Yes, a more detailed prompt yields a more accurate first draft. However, even a basic prompt ('create a website for my dog coin') generates a full site in under a minute. The bulk of the time savings comes not from perfect AI generation, but from the automation of integration (auto-embedded charts, wallet connection, buy widget) that would take 30-60 minutes to manually build on Bubble, regardless of your prompt skill.
Spawned maintains its speed advantage for updates. Editing text or swapping an image in Spawned's editor is near-instantaneous and publishes immediately. In Bubble, even simple text changes require you to enter the editor, find the correct text element, edit it in the properties panel, and republish the application, which is a slower process. Spawned's streamlined editor is built for quick, post-launch iterations.
Deployment to a Spawned subdomain (yourtoken.spawned.com) is instantaneous and automatic upon token launch. For a custom domain (e.g., yourtoken.com), you must connect it in your project settings, which involves standard DNS record changes at your domain registrar. This process (10-15 minutes plus propagation time) is similar in speed to Bubble's custom domain setup. The key speed difference is the automatic, zero-config subdomain provided at launch.
Not at all. The speed comes from automating the complex parts (financial widgets, blockchain connectivity), not from limiting content. You can build detailed websites for utility tokens, NFT projects, or DAOs just as quickly. The AI can generate sections for complex tokenomics, multi-phase roadmaps, and detailed documentation. The platform is for any Solana token that needs a professional site fast, regardless of its long-term vision.
