The honest brief

Firebase Studio

Free and fully browser-based with no local setup, tying a real Code OSS editor straight into Gemini agents and the Firebase deploy stack.

  • Runs fully in the browser, no setup
  • Gemini agents and Genkit built in
  • One-click deploy to Firebase
  • Free core tier
  • Prototype apps from a prompt
  • Still in preview
  • Tied to the Google/Firebase ecosystem
  • Gemini-only assistant
  • Workspace limits on the free tier

Lovable

Wires a Supabase backend and GitHub sync into every generated app — leans full-stack where v0 stops at UI.

  • Built-in Supabase backend
  • GitHub sync + one-click publish
  • Fast idea-to-shipped product
  • Beginner-friendly, no-code path
  • Can burn credits on complex apps
  • Less control than hand-coding
  • Opinionated React/Supabase stack
