# Bubble developer disappeared? Rescue sprints from $5,000.

From $5,000. Fixed price in writing before work starts. Code and accounts stay yours.

If your Bubble developer disappeared or your app is stuck, a rescue sprint gets it moving again. I take over the app and give you a fixed price in writing before work starts. Nothing is charged before you approve a written fixed price. Everything stays in accounts you own. Rescue sprints for Bubble apps start at $5,000.

## Review first

A rescue starts with a short review of your app. You get a written verdict, fix, finish or rebuild, with a fixed price. Nothing is charged before you approve it.

## Takeover checklist

1. App ownership
2. Access
3. Collaborators

## Best for

- Founders whose Bubble developer or agency stopped responding
- Bubble apps with bugs or half-finished features that block launch or users
- Teams that need one person accountable for the app now

## Not for

- Apps built with Lovable, Cursor, Bolt or Replit. See the [AI-built app rescue sprint, from $5,000](https://ianstorni.com/ai-app-rescue).
- Teams that only want a written review first. See the [Bubble app audit, from $1,500](https://ianstorni.com/bubble-app-audit).
- Teams ready to leave Bubble. See the [Bubble-to-code migration, from $12,500](https://ianstorni.com/bubble-to-code-migration).

## Sounds familiar?

1. My Bubble developer stopped answering.
2. The app is half-finished and the launch is blocked.
3. Users hit bugs every week and nobody fixes them.
4. I don't have all the logins, and the agency is gone.
5. I need one person I can call who owns the app now.

## What you get

1. A written verdict after a short review: fix, finish or rebuild, with a fixed price

2. **Review**: I take a short look at the app. You get a written verdict: fix, finish or rebuild, with a fixed price.
3. **Sprint**: You approve the price, and I take over the app. Scope changes are raised before the work is done.
4. **Handover**: You get the finished work in accounts you own.

## FAQ

### My developer disappeared and I don't have all the access. Where do I start?

Start with what you have: the Bubble account the app lives in, the domain, and any payment or email service it uses. On the call I help you list what is missing and how to get it back. Nothing is charged before you approve a written fixed price.

### Do I need an audit first?

No. A rescue starts with a short review of your app, and you get a written verdict with a fixed price. If you want a full written report to decide with first, the [Bubble app audit, from $1,500](https://ianstorni.com/bubble-app-audit) is the better fit.

### Will you fix my app or tell me to rebuild it?

A rescue starts with a short review of your app. You get a written verdict, fix, finish or rebuild, with a fixed price. Nothing is charged before you approve it.

### Who owns the app and the accounts?

You do. The app, the data and every account stay in your name. I work in accounts you own, and you can remove my access at any time.

### What happens if the scope changes during the sprint?

Scope changes are raised before the work is done. You get the change in writing with its price, and nothing is charged before you approve it.

### What happens after the sprint?

You get the finished work in accounts you own. If you want someone to keep looking after the app, see [Ongoing Bubble development, from $1,000/month](https://ianstorni.com/bubble-development).
