We have a client on WordPress who runs a football news site similar to sites like https://prepredzone.com/. Basically, I’m interested in knowing if a site that gets about 4000 weekly visitors, those visitors would be viewing articles, leaderboards, player profiles, etc. Would that be cost-intensive?
Our client doesn’t want to pay more than ~$200-300 a month. We would have to move all the user accounts, player profiles, and articles over to the Bubble project as well which may be initially resource-intensive.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
SEO is much better at WP - so if that is a huge source of traffic, don’t move.
If you are looking to move because you’ll save money, what are the monthly costs at WP? Might be able tell you if you’ll save based on that.
A recent convo with a WP site owner - they were spending $4K/mo. I definitely think Bubble is cheaper after building it out.

Most of the users come from Twitter actually, they post a lot of their articles there.
He’s not looking to save money necessarily, everything is built on a skeleton theme in WordPress no plugins just all PHP, built by a previous developer who’s closing up shop, which makes it difficult for us. Keep in mind the current site has about half the features he’s going to want in the future.
So we’re trying to move somewhere that’s scalable, but lets us make quicker design changes (current design is rough to say the least), implement new features, etc.
I think he’s paying about half what I stated above, but just in the time and costs it would take us to change things on the old site its not an issue to raise the monthly costs.
I really appreciate your response, and I’m open to any ideas. Just want to know if Bubble is the platform for us.
Being that it’s all PHP, you’ll have a much better time using Bubble! In terms of monthly costs you likely could use the Growth plan or if that’s not enough power, the Team plan at $349 should be plenty.
There is a huge bubble dev community and it’s not too hard for new devs to jump into existing projects VS traditional code.
