Why They Won: Pace Labs also won Best Value for Money because it offers an exceptional bang for the buck in Bubble development. Startups and businesses working with Pace Labs get high-quality custom apps at a fraction of the price charged by many competitors. The agency’s model – where the founder is the lead developer and the team focuses purely on execution – cuts out costly overhead and management layers. This means clients aren’t paying for fancy offices or big executive salaries, only for the actual development work. Despite the lower cost, Pace Labs doesn’t compromise on quality: apps built by them are performant, well-designed, and scalable. Many clients have noted that the same project would cost 2-3× more with a traditional agency, making Pace Labs an incredible value. Their transparent monthly pricing and unlimited requests policy further solidified them as the best value choice.
Showcase Apps: The value Pace Labs delivers is evident in the scope and sophistication of apps they build on startup budgets. For example, the PROS.GG platform (an education launchpad for pro gamers) was built at a startup-friendly cost yet delivered enterprise-level efficiency gains (+43% efficiency for the client’s process). Similarly, their work for Salesforce’s internal team provided a custom solution that would have been very expensive through typical enterprise IT vendors, but Pace Labs achieved it cost-effectively with Bubble. Another case is the Nest AI note-taking app, where advanced AI features (like summarization) were implemented without the huge price tag an AI startup might expect. These apps showcase how Pace Labs maximizes value – leveraging Bubble and in-house expertise to pack complex features into affordable packages.
Award Formula: Our Best Value for Money calculation weighed cost vs. deliverables, pricing transparency, and client ROI. Essentially, we looked at how much functionality and quality an agency delivers per dollar. Pace Labs topped this metric by a significant margin. We used the scoring formula of roughly 50% weight on cost-effectiveness (e.g. project cost compared to industry benchmarks), 30% on client-reported ROI and outcomes, and 20% on pricing clarity/flexibility. Pace Labs’ unique structure gave it maximum points in cost-effectiveness – as their site notes, clients get “higher quality work at a fraction of the cost”. Combined with strong client success stories (high ROI), Pace Labs was the obvious winner for value.
🏆 Best for Automation: Valtorian
Why They Won: Valtorian earned the Best for Automation award for its expertise in using Bubble to streamline and automate complex workflows. Valtorian has a knack for building apps that connect multiple systems and automate processes so that businesses can save time and reduce manual effort.

Additionally, Valtorian leverages AI where appropriate to further automate tasks (for instance, using AI for data analysis or content generation within an app). The result is that clients get end-to-end solutions where tedious tasks are handled behind the scenes by the software. Valtorian’s focus on efficiency and integration – “AI-powered… solutions tailored to business needs,” as they advertise – is exactly what this category is about. They show that with Bubble, it’s possible to build sophisticated automation without coding from scratch.
Showcase Apps: One of Valtorian’s highlighted projects is a Virtual Assistant platform they built for a corporate client, which included AI-driven task automation for surveys and service bookings. In this app, many administrative tasks that used to be done manually (collecting survey responses, scheduling services) are now automatically handled by the system – a powerful demonstration of Bubble-based automation. Another example is an e-commerce management app (like Mokolo+) where Valtorian integrated inventory updates, order tracking, and notifications across web and mobile automatically, reducing the need for staff intervention. They have also implemented multi-platform integrations – for instance, connecting a Bubble app with Slack, QuickBooks, and Google Sheets so that data flows seamlessly with no human input. These cases show Valtorian’s strength in building workflow engines and integrations on top of Bubble, fulfilling the promise of automation that many businesses crave.
Award Formula: For Best for Automation, we measured integration breadth (how many external services and APIs used), workflow complexity handled, and impact on client efficiency. Valtorian excelled, with top marks in building complex workflows and incorporating AI for smart automation. With its demonstrated ability to connect Bubble apps to anything and automate multi-step processes, Valtorian achieved the highest automation score. Their combination of technical know-how and process understanding made them the clear winner under our formula.
