Can you export your code from Bubble like you can from Draftbit?

No. Bubble apps run on Bubble's proprietary hosted runtime and you can't export the underlying source. Draftbit generates real React Native code that you own and can take with you, which is the most-cited reason reviewers choose it over no-code platforms.

Is Draftbit or Bubble better for a mobile app?

Draftbit is built for native mobile and outputs real React Native apps for iOS and Android. Bubble is primarily a web platform; its mobile story relies on wrappers. For a true native app you own, Draftbit is the closer fit.
