Lovable
For: Non-coders building MVPs
Full-stack app (front end, backend, database, auth) from plain English. Deep bugs can take many re-prompts.
Price: Free tier; Pro $25/mo (100 monthly credits), Business $50/mo (2026-06)
Browser builders like Lovable, Bolt and v0 turn a description into a running app. Replit adds a full editor and hosting. Cursor and Claude Code are for people who want to see and steer the code. All of them bill in credits or tokens that disappear faster as the app gets complex.

| Combination | Why |
|---|---|
| Lovable or Bolt + Cursor | Prototype in the browser, then export to an IDE when it outgrows the builder. |
| Softr + your data | Logins and permissions out of the box for portals, at the cost of no code export. |
| Claude Code + tests | Multi-file changes are safer when the agent runs tests after each edit. |
